You guys likey?
Brandon Meriweather, DB for the Chicago Bears at NFL.com (http://www.nfl.com/player/brandonmeriweather/2495678/profile)
I like this. I think he'll turn his S around.
CultBrennan59 03-14-2012, 12:54 PM Yeah I saw the washington post reporting that Merriweather is visiting here. Whenever Bill Belichick gives up on a player and cuts them, is never a good thing.

No way! I don't think he learned his lesson after Belichek cut him. Early success got to his head. He's not a Pro Bowler any more. He ignores his coaches, freelances too much, and plays out of position a lot. Bears' D improved once he was benched. I don't think he's good for the locker room.

Plus, last year with the Bears, he got torched worse than Landry ever did while he was at FS.
If Meriweather is a starter for us, we'll in sad shape. For depth, I'll take him.
I'd be more confident with Doughty back there.

That could very well be a scheme issue. I'm not terribly concerned about that. He also had zero time to learn the system.

That doesn't explain getting cut from one of the worst secondaries in the NFL though. (New England)
At this point, unless we can find (and afford) clear starters in FA, we just need to fill up camp with some bodies at Safety...and do what we can in the draft.

Good gracious! It sounds like this Meriweather is not a good safety. I didn't watch any Bears games last season. But to have more confidence in a below average player like Reed Doughty over Meriweather is saying a lot.
Monkeydad 03-14-2012, 01:49 PM We need to step in and steal Brandon Carr out from under the Cowboys, who are trying to fit a deal in with their cap hell.
Mike Adams from the Browns is available. Steve Gregory from SD.
William Gay from the Steelers is available at CB.
All of these guys other than Carr would be reserves, not solutions...but we need both.

I would do this if we were to plan to turn one of our CBs into a Safety. In the meantime, I'd like for the team to address that position since we have no starters on the roster.

I agree. Doughty is always a step late and that is maddening. But at least he's trying to get to the right spot. Too often Meriweather goes west when he should be going east and that is worse than being a step late.
