Then that only proves the blunder of the Archuleta signing even more. Their $10 million man, uninjured, gets beaten out by a journeyman defensive back who's been a reserve for most of his career.
Either way, you cannot tell me with a straight face that Gregg Williams, the man who according to many accounts, personally lobbied for signing Adam Archuleta expected him to be the #3 safety behind Sean Taylor and Pierson Prioleau all year long.
Take a look at the words of our own "Burgundy Army" blog, from July 28 of this year:

Here's the exact wording:
"While ‘Skins fans were relieved to have Taylor in the fold again, they were also buzzing over the addition of Adam Archuleta. Arch’s workout routines are legendary, providing him with the ability to dish out immense punishment in close quarters. His range gives Gregg Williams the ability to blitz from either safety position and still cover a large portion of the field with one safety.
Prioleau again figures into the mix as a solid 3rd option as safety, as well as a valuable special teams contributor."
How many different ways can we illustrate how bad of a move this free agent signing was? Good lord man, I'll take Casserly's mistake of drafting Mario Williams any day over this cluster fornication!
