Seems like they're doing all the wheelin' and dealin' in the secondary when they should be making moves along the D-line.

If we satisfy our needs in the secondary through FA, it only leaves us to draft for the DL and OL. We could be in poistion to draft a Justin Blalock and Alan Branch... WOW.

Yeah, that's true. Because we could use BOTH a d-tackle and end. And probably one more.

Springs, Rogers, Smoot, Fisher, Jimoh??? So pretty much we're going to have two starting caliber CB's sitting on the bench.

The Fisher signing is nothing special. Hopefully he can stay healthy?
Also, the status of Springs is clearly uncertain.
If he stays and is healthy he could move inside. BYE BLY!

It's called quality DEPTH. Something we have no clue about at any position on the whole team. Except RB.

No way... we are not. If Springs gets hurt, then Rogers... then what?????

Fred Smoot can start in this league and Fisher has as far as I remember. And there is very little "if" when it concerns Springs's health, the guy's weak. I wish they could have gotten the Bly deal done. He's better anyway...

He is a good nickelback, but so is Smoot.

We have a good CB situation UNLESS we cut Springs w/o getting Bly. Then we just have Carlos Rogers and two nickelbacks.

Don't you mean 3 nickle backs?

dirthogs is back after a long hiatus..... where's the link guy's?

Longtimefan · 03-09-2007, 10:19 PM

I'm still searching for conformation!!! I can't find anything on a Fisher trade to Wash. Therefore I guess that's still unconfirmed.

Exactly, this better not be thier replacement for Springs!

I think it easier to draft an impact guy for the line than to give a boat laod of money to a retread. Quality dlinemen don't usually pop up in FA. Decent corners seem abundant this year.

That said we don't need another corner. Unless we trade Springs I'd be much more inclined to take the Houston deal now.

We did end up starting Rumph and Wright last year so maybe we just decided to go 4 deep with guys who can start in the event that Springs gets hurt again. It's a one year deal, so he's gonna be a backup.

Fisher's first couple years in St. Louis were decent. He has been beset with injuries the last couple years, but he, Springs (if he stays) along with Smoot and Rogers would give us a formidable quartet at CB. Jimoh is counted on mainly for his ST ability so I didn't include him. Personally, I wouldn't trade for Bly, he'll be a FA at the end of the coming season, I think I would take my chances then if they're still interested.

If this is true Springs is gone without a doubt.
