Hess.
j/k Hess...I'd really trade you and That Guy. Couldn't possibly separate you all.

I all seriousness I think at this point Pitt wouldn't trade Clark with no other option. In a perfect world I think we all agree so far Clark would be a better fit. But in the immortal words of JG. "I don't think the whole book is written on him yet." In this case I am referring to Arch.

Uhm, it is week 5 people. You don't just go down to Walmart and pick up a quality CB and insert him into the lineup -- no matter the price.

Adapting to the GW defense is not an instant process for anyone. League rules not withstanding, the deadline for adding personnel to improve the defense has long since passed.

CBs can play man without learning a system. CBs could also probably learn the defense in time for the end of the season and the playoffs. Not in time to help us replace Springs, but in time to help us win the Super Bowl.

I think the CBs we have now may learn the system by the playoffs. They started looking better against Houston. I think that each week we should see fewer big plays and more 3 and outs. Getting a new corner may be a priority next year, but the guys we have now will probably need to do the job for this year.

Sheriff, I usually agree with you and have much respect for what you do around here. But I've got to disagree with your analysis on a few points....

1. In the GW defense, the CB is required to do much more than go man up. In addition, any CB who falls into the category of being a solid cover corner is going to be impossible to purchase.

2. By time we get to the SB or playoffs, the CBs we have now will be much more up to speed than they were up to this point. They are not lacking in athletic ability.

3. The probability (but by no means certainty) is that by time we end up in the second half of the season, SS will be back on the field.

All fair points. I just hope our CBs do in fact get up to speed. Thus far I am very disappointed with Rogers and I'm beginning to wonder if we will ever see Springs.

I agree with this. It takes too long to get up to speed, and the good players just aren't going to be available, most likely (Clark, for instance). GW and co. can make the guys we have play better, and that's our best hope right now. Remember, no one had heard of Clark before GW got him.

Interestingly, the loss of Preileau (sp) hurt more than I thought it would. We have no option but to leave AA out in passing downs and that hurts. But give it some time. And I do think SS will be back in action this year--that will help everything back there.

Dude, enough with the Darrell Green talk.

He was on the decline when he retired. I really don't think he would have much to offer at this point, and unless he can play OL I don't think he would have changed anything against Dallas.

Re: What would you trade for secondary help?

Rich Tandler at the Warpath Insider puts our current Pearl Harbor Crew in perspective:

Scout.com: Pearl Harbor Crew II

Certainly if our guys don't get it together they will derail our Super Bowl championship aspirations. I remember that Bobby Beathard made a trade in 1983 to get cornerback Anthony Washington from the Steelers, I think during the season. He wasn't able to stem the tide agains the Raiders in the Super Bowl, however.

Hopefully Springs gets back here healthy enough to make a difference. Hopefully, the secondary people will come around as they learn a system so complicated that many current players don't fully understand it according to Springs (probably referring to his comrades in the defensive backfield).

I don't think you can trade TJ Duckett after all we gave up for him - he is insurance against a Portis injury, and once Duckett learns the system he will be a force in our offense and a confounding change of pace from Portis and Betts for defenses.
