REAL football news - Skins sign Atogwe!

Fills a need. We simply didn't have a starting caliber cover safety on the roster, and it was hurting us seriously.

Atogwe is very, very overrated as a player, but it is the proper use of free agency to plug holes in ones scheme. And one of the reasons we couldn't cover the pass is because of abysmal coverage at the safety levels. If Atogwe can provide mere adequacy (and I still need to see the contract numbers), the addition will be well worth it.

I did type 'strong' but that's not what I meant, my bad.

Good signing. The FS hole is filled. Now for nose tackle...
