Interesting. When we picked them up people just shrugged and said meh, they're "just guys". Now they're pro bowlers... potential difference makers. Not picking on you, just funny how perceptions can vary so greatly.

so true around here. As soon as someone gets hurt they were the potential difference between losing and winning on Sunday.

Look S position sucks for us the level of play from starter to PS is not that great. Anyone at that position could go down it won't make that big of difference because the next guy up is at about the same talent level as the guy he is replacing.

You can bust on Reed but some how he has stayed on the same team for a long time by NFL standards he must be doing something good. Merriweather and Jackson can't say that they are journey men.

For the record, I liked the signing of Meriweather. I loved the signing of Tanard Jackson. And when comparing these guys to Gomes and Bernstein (rookie, and 2nd year) and Reed (never a good starter), its like night and day.

I really didnt like the pick up of Meriweather over other safeties availible, but I still think he is an upgrade over the guys we had. I liked the T Jax move, but once again we get burned by risky guys. Its time to see if D Gomes can play.
