Just two questions:

1)How many possession players does a team really need?
2)What makes Santana Moss a poor possession player but makes CJ a great possession player? Size alone?

Ian Scott gives us an immediate solution at DT, but doesn't fix our biggest problem, and that's a lack of youth on the DL. If we were to draft a DL and sign Ian Scott, who gets cut? Saleve'a? Golston? Montgomery? Do we keep 6 on the 53 man roster?

Montgomery. Easy answer.

I don't see it that way, I think Saleve'a is on the bubble. Ditto for Evans & Wynn.
Remember last year when Killings & Clemons (the DT, not his brother the LB who also got axed) got cut? players were surprised, but Golston & MOntgomery both made the team.
When in doubt, they have to go w/youth & less $. On the other hand Gibbs loves his vets & loves Joe S. Still, he's not scared to cut a solid vet, I remember a few in the past that really surprised me, e.g. Alvin Walton.
