Slight improvement?

Archuleta is much more than just a slight improvement over Clark, let's get real.

Plus he's a good insurance policy for Taylor.

Here are last year's stats:

Archuleta: In 14 games--70 tackles, 17 assists, 3.5 sacks, 1 int for 85 yds TD, 2 passes defensed
Clark: In 13 games--57 tackles, 15 assists, 0.5 sacks, 3 int for 10 yds, 2 passes defensed

It would seem from the evidence that Archuleta is better in run support and less effective in pass coverage (based on stats alone). I realize, however, that stats can be misleading. Yes, Archuleta has more talent, but talent (as we have seen with Heisman Trophy winners) isn't everything. Let's also not forget that a big reason Archuleta's tackles are higher than Clark's may have something to do with the Rams' pitiful run defense, which forced him to make more tackles since their front seven couldn't do it. Again, I'm not saying I dislike Archuleta; he should end up helping the team. I'm just afraid that we're screwing one of our own and possibly hurting some team cohesion.

There are some decent safeties in the draft. I just thought Bowen didn't fit into Coach Williams' scheme. So why would Archuleta?

we've got one serious draft pick and bigger needs at both CB and quality OL backup.

I think we wouldn't be going after Archuleta if Seany boy didnt thug it up last year. But now we need insurance.

I think that Archuletta is the back up plan.

Witherspoon signed with the Rams today.....Petetson is still out there.......I love Akin Ayodele but he looks to be going to Dallas.

Carter left Redskins Park today without sigining anything.

Uh oh That doesn't happen too often.

If the Bears snag Archuletta, who else is out there really? What about Charles Woodson? He might be worth signing since he can play the safety position as well as the nickel spot.

i dont think we have the money to move on a big name LB. the money for carter, the WRs and archuleta would be most of our space.

I am a big Ayodele fan as well, but I just heard the other day he was a Cowboys ballboy as a kid. So he's tainted
