vincent DID play for jerry gray, who's been working with GW for an eternity now, so he shouldn't be completely lost.

marcus coleman would also be worth looking into, but he's not as good as troy.

My thoughts exactly. We're desperate at CB. Springs is back but can he STAY back? Rogers now has three screws and a cast; he'll play but how well? I don't expect any interceptions from him. We have NO depth at the position. Troy Vincent has had a good career. He's rested and healthy and should know the defense fairly well already, so he can step in.

I think it's a GREAT signing. He fills a hole that has been a big reason why we're losing games because of the defense. I do think we should work Ade Jimoh in somehow, even if as a nickel back or extra safety.

Curry Burns has a great name, but I don't want him covering Reggie Wayne this week.
