I am not sold on Archuleta either.
Having said that though, GW obviously asked to upgrade the SS position. Some of you might feel Ryan Clark did a good job but GW obvioulsy did not feel the same way. GW is the coach and he knows best.
I personally wanted to upgrade the SS positon since we got Sean Taylor. Clark is an average, one dimensional coverage guy. Clark was flattened on a few running plays last year and is not much of a blitz person. I think GW sees that as a liability at SS. I know this will piss some people off, but I was not thrilled with Clark. He was stop gap guy until we found a star SS. I am not sure Archuleta is the player I would have picked.

We need to break the habit of being happy with a mediocre player just because we get by with them or because he is a nice guy and everybody likes him.
D. Dockery falls into this category, if Dockery does not play up to his potential this year we shoud look to replace him next year.
