John Eubanks signed from practice squad.

Smoot should be back this week, he was close last week but was a late scratch.

I am personally excited about that. I hope that helps us cover a bit better. The main fear I have is that without Carlos, our D wont be able to cover at all and the only way to win would be a shootout and I just dont think our offense can do that, especially with a torn up line.

All I know is that we need find a way to put up points, because our TOP gameplan didn't work because our offense might not be healthy for it. I think we need quick scores and turnovers. And I know this is kinda unrelated, but just a thought.

I'm worried about Smoot not being the same physical corner that Williams had in Rogers. Don't get me wrong, I like Smoot, but he's not the type of guy that can consistently come up and play the run or go after the QB. Check that, he can come up and attack the running back, but he will shatter his shoulder in the process.

On that note, why is it that the front office gets beat like the drum over its failure to stock our O-line with great depth whereas it gets little credit for our depth at CB? Teams can only have quality depth at so many positions.

Smoot really needs to step it up. I don't want to keep hearing "Well I could have played last week"

The value of my username is diminishing each week with this guy.

It just goes with the territory. People love to focus in on the negatives.

I guess it's up to the Kool-Aid drinkers to point out the positives more.

Agreed. Now it's time for SMOOT to earn his check, we really need him to step it up....hopefully stay healthy?

JE did look OK in pre-season on returns and at corner. Could be OK depth player?

Smoot will be a better cover guy but not the tackler that Rogers is
What happened to Omar Stoutmire?

eubanks or westbrook are not ready to play NFL ball.
I sure hope the skins are tearing up the waiver wire, cause we've got some big issues now. Like you guys said....Smoot could get mowed down on sweeps, etc.
Imagine if he plays the same side as Andre Carter!

This is about the time when I expect us to trade a 3rd rounder for someone that wont make the team next year.

Played okay Sunday and trade deadline has passed and we have Eubanks in our system

I remember Portis really singling out Eubanks for praise at the end of last season.

And, not to be a pain, but does anyone else get peeved when people spell it "Rodgers" Carlos Rogers has no D (hardy har har har)
Misspelling players' names doesn't bother me. What really gets under my skin are posters who put question marks at the end of what should be a declarative sentence. Is it just a habit? A quirk? Or are they in a constant state of indicisiveness?

I don't know. I just know it really irks me...?
