I'd love to bring him back to play FS. I think he'd excel in that role as a ball-hawking centerfielder.

There are plenty of quality FA CBs not getting signed yet. We'll get someone before the draft I bet. Starting Wilson with a good FA CB and Crawford/Minnifield at nickel will be more than adqeuate. Then, we should draft more secondary.

If Meriweather, Minnifield and T. Jackson can stay on the field, that will go a long way towards improvement. If we're so thin that we're down to Pugh and Bernstine again at safety, we'll be screwed again.

We sure seemed like a different D when Meriweather got back on the field for a few games or was it just a game?

As far I remember, it was one game, against the Eagles. He played into the 3rd quarter before falling untouched with a torn ACL.

How? I mean hall is better than Josh Wilson or if not they r equal. Crawford is unproven, and who knows with guys down the depth chart. Hall isn't going to make us better but he certainly won't make us any worse I don't think. I'd rather have him than winfield at this point

Tyler Polumbus back on a two year deal.

This move confirms for me that we will stick with what we have. So, no solid moves in FA for the line.

I'd say we did have one solid move. We brought back Kory L.

Who knows what will happen at RT. We do know now though that we have our entire OL returning with a couple of injury plagued veterans returing to health. Time will tell if JT or TP can replace Polumbus on the line or if we are just going to ride it out for a year till we get our space back.

Who knows.

This move has nothing to do with our ability to sign or bring in secondary help though.

Ok im officially loss on all these Tackle signings. Makes no sense.

[12thMan]

Makes perfect sense. Not all of them will make the team, but the position will be better as a result of competition.

I'm actually OKAY with Polumbus coming back.

I'm with you despite the fact that I think Polumbus sux in pass pro. Given our $$$ scene, we have little choice but to add cheap talent and hope that some cream rises to the top. Besides, there is still is a long way to go before the season opener and some old vet tackles who are still good always end up in summer cuts from other teams.

Talks to the faith they have in Compton.


Polumbus is horrible at pass protection. RG3 coming off major knee surgury...Polumbus is certainly not the answer. not bright

LOL. Hopefully none of these signing have guaranteed money.

I don't think it's that reflection, as much as we need two to stick, the starter and the backup. So get enough competition to make sure we cover depth as well. It's really just how this FO has handle every week area (on offense) that we have had.

I have said this before, I think you see Shanahan's ego more on Defense where he gets one guy, and trusts his instincts that he is the player they want, as opposed to offense, where every year we see positions that look like a bunch of mush, and pick the best from it. It's happened at RB, WR, and now RT. No defensive position, that I remember, has gotten nearly the sign a ton, and let the cream rise, as the offensive talent. I wish it would, atleast CB and safeties.

[12thMan]

Let's give Polumbus another shot to start the season. If he's that horrible, he could always lose the job later on.
