What would you trade for secondary help?

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.

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.

The Steelers are not going to trade clark to us . Besides , no way Dan and Vinny make that trade , then bench the highest paid safety in football ; and admit that they f'd up . Maybe trade Duckett for a corner , but I would not bet on a team trading a good cover corner now . I just hope if our db's improve soon ! And if we still have problems covering throughout the season , someone tell Vinny ,,, NOT to go out and bring in some f/a bum of a corner and give him a 10 million dollar signing bonus :) !

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.

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.

For secondary help I would trade Derek Smith, Jeff Ulbrich, Kwame Harris, Taylor Jacobs, Sammy Davis and Chris Hetherington. Garbage...

Derek Smith? Is he that bad? It's amazing he stuck around this long. I know one thing for sure, we never take back what we tossed. That would make us Indian givers.

id trade betts cuase he shows so much promise we could possible get a better corner, i kno thats horrible becuase betts is my man.

Besides i think our secoundary is looking better and the situation isnt as dire as you guys make it seem

sammy davis? didnt he die a couple of years ago?

What needs to happen is S. Springs needs to get back on the field soon before this season is lost. I like Rumph more than Wright and the other guy we have playing corner. However Rogers has been a bit of a disapointment this year. Arch has been playing better here of late but, he still has a ways to go. As of now for what we payed for this guy we have not gotten a good return. The contract that this guy signed really scares me when S. Taylors contract is due for negotiation. Taylor is a guy we need back there handling buisness. But, all in all I think that the players we have back in the secondary will be fine. Once Springs comes back, it should give the defense a lift similar to when Portis came back. No more loses from here on out.

Where is darrel green,he,s gotta be better than wright.

absolutely, been saying that the skins have rolled the dice on the secondary and the o line, the o line is fine a long as none get hurt but the secondary without springs is naked and blind. these guys are playing scared,we need another cb. but whom could we trade for ? it can't be just another scrub, we've gotten those.how many years do you guys think springs has left ? not many, time to make a move to get us a real good corner.
