Do We Have A Legit Shot At Nate Clements?

As far as Nate Clements, I dont want him. This is exactly what is wrong with this team, we label guys busts after 1 crappy year (imo, Rogers has work, but is solid), Springs is getting older, but he has another good 1-2 years left. Thats time to sign some young talent and try to develop them before we break the bank for someone.

Lastly, if we improve this god awful defensive line, then teams wont be able to run on us to open up the pass, we wont be giving QB's 30 seconds to throwt he football, and that will greatly help our secondary. Signing Deion Sanders in his prime wouldnt help our secondary right now. Every single CB in the league would have gotten beaten on that Galloway play last week. Yes Rogers has played poorly in some games, outside of Minnesota, I have a real hard time looking at him as the problem. I say stick with the secondary that we have, take a look at the linebackers, but fix the damn line. Period. If we fix the line, that makes our LB, and secondary problems better from the get go.

I haven't been a member of this post long, but this is one of the best posts I've seen here. The problem is primarily with the front seven. The secondary has looked horrible b/c they are getting no help up front.

Throwing Rogers in the trashcan is bit impatient at this point. I think we've been spoiled by the CB talent that's been here in recent years. Give the guy some time and let him learn.

If we sign Clements its going to be for too much and the money can be better spent elsewhere. The skins need depth everywhere not just for game day, but during practice as well. If you practice against cream puffs all week, then guess how you're going to play on Sundays.
