I wonder if Marvin Lewis is goign to try and pick up any more of our players, heh

not off the practice squad... he'd take some of our 2nd string LBs though i'm pretty sure...

If Mike Barrow isn't 100%, he needs to stay on the sidelines. We don't need Tiki running to his side. I read that Antonio Pierce would be moved to the weakside if Lavar doesn't play. This could be a serious problem because Barrow isn't fast enough to cover the field from side to side as a middle LB. This is why Lemons has been offered a contract. I thought Kheri Campbell player well during the preseason but Coach Williams wants to utilize different LB's for his defensive attacks. Maybe Sean Taylor will be used a little more this game.

I am glad we signed Ola Kimrin, he was impressive during the preseason. He has a powerful leg and an accurate kicker.
I know we have a great kicker in Hall, but injuries can happen to anyone, and kicker is such an important position . It is good to have a great back up.
Plus if I remember correctly Hall makes BIG money for a kicker. If Kimrin continues to improve and equals Halls ability next preseason, Kimrin could be a cost cutting option if we want to sign a new player at another position.
I like Hall though, so do not take this as a knock on Hall. It's just that in the age of the salary cap you always keep an eye out for good cheap players.

i doubt we cut hall, he tackles well (for a kicker) and gets it done... kimrin squibbed a lot... what we really need to look for is a young punter, cause tupa is OLD (38) and will need to be replaced sooner than later...
