You are never the same after the severe type on knee injury Carlos had. We need to develop this position. The NFL has changed rules to make it a more pass happy league. You need 3 to 4 quality CB's. Plus add injuries during the season and this position becomes very important. Quality and Quantity is important.

Well they did get rid of the force out rule which means that receivers will have to work harder.. it should become easier for corners to protect the sidelines.

Yeah but you are not allowed to breath on a receiver after 3 yards. By contrast NFL Officials hardly ever call offensive pass interference. WR's push off CB's right before the ball arrives and they hardly ever get called for it. Randy Moss and Terrel Owens do it the most and they never get called for it. The rules are not being applied evenly. The NFL wants more offense for the average fan that does not appreciate great defense.

Not really when you think about it.. How often does that call come into play, maybe once every 3 games? It's not a big deal, players will adapt.

ON Sheppard, I don't really want us to give up more than a 3rd for him if anything at all.. While I think Rogers is a bust for his draft slot, he's serviceable.

Vinny should offer Philly our #3 and see if they bite. As the draft nears or on draft day itself, I would anticipate Reid dropping his asking price.

I would have no problem with this except for the fact that philly seems to never budge with anything.
