[quote=REDSKINZ-RIDEORDIE;679515]Ummmm, actually he didnt play better then Carlos. Carlos is a beast, he just cant catch an INT to save his like.[/quote]

A beast who was benched twice in the past 2 seasons. Yeah, he's a beast.

On PB, I like the pickup.. At worst, he's a depth guy who can make some plays when given the opportunity. Also, he'll be in the mix at PR and represents an upgrade from ARE and anyone else we have on the roster.

I think it's been fairly well established that the benching was less a result of ability and more a coaching decision. Chances are his stone hands had something to do with it, but GB was not keeping him in, unless he had no other choice.

great depth/competition signing

Re: Skins sign Buchanon 1yr deal
 

A stopgap move. I like the idea of perhaps trying him out at FS. The team has many capable SS. Is there any interest trading for Doughty, Horton, or Landry? I don't think drafting a FS is an option.

Re: Skins sign Buchanon 1yr deal
 

I still think Tryon and Barnes can contribute. Westbrook's value hinged on special teams only.

funny how he was the only guy getting benched for blowing coverage

Re: Skins sign Buchanon 1yr deal
 

Gives us more speed and a guy who can cover in the slot.
Good move for us.

I'll be the first to say it, Camp Fodder.

Lack of playmaking+getting beat like a 3rd grader on playground double moves+piss poor attitude=him getting benched. To say it was all Blache is ridiculous.

Re: Skins sign Buchanon 1yr deal
 

My guess is that he will be starting by week 3 if not sooner. Nice pick-up. It's nice to see a front office that makes some sensible moves and sign them for cheap!

Smoot couldn't be benched because he was already on the bench. Smoot was the 4th corner last year.

And I'll be the first to second this notion. This is a very ho-hum signing IMO.

Re: Skins sign Buchanon 1yr deal
 

5 teams in 7 years. Reminiscent of the Mike Rumph signing...

Just looking at his deal I'd say he's more than camp fodder. 1 year $1.5M with incentives of $750k. He's no superstar but he's not just a camp body either.
