Ex-Skins this Preseason

There's still some concern. But I guess you can say no individual is better than the team as a whole. And guys still look as if they're not on the same page.

I saw the Giants game and Pierce looked really good; he was in on a lot of tackles and almost got a safety on Curtis Martin. He's the one recently departed Redskin that I think we could miss.

Smoot hasn't seen much time in Minnesota due to injury, but he'll be a good addition to the Vikings defense. While I'm not confident that Rogers can step in immediately and play as well as Smoot would, he'll probably be a better fit for us in the long haul. Smoot was a cover guy and that's about it; his size limited his ability to blitz and stuff the run effectively. Rogers is a much more versatile back; he can cover, blitz, stuff the run, and is generally a better tackler.

As far as Ramsey going to the Dolphins goes...Let's hope not... I think we need stability... I watched the Giants-Jets game and Pierce looked great, last year was definitely not a fluke.

Gibbs won't trade Ramsey unless they come up with a real good offer, and if he plays so-so they won't. I expect Frerotte will keep the starters job unless he screws it right up and that will end the speculation.

Springs, Taylor, Arrington, Moss, Portis = STAMP!!! Not that there's anything wrong with TASPM.

Welcome to the board.

By the way, how have those guys played with their respective new teams this pre-season? Other than Pierce, I haven't heard much.

As much as I liked Smoot when he was here... My feeling is that Rogers will soon make all of forget about Smoot.

As for Marshall vs. Pierce... it's way too early to tell. I need to see Marshall start 4-5 games before I have a real opinion on him. It will be interesting to see if Pierce was the real deal or had a career-year last year. Personally, I think he will have a fine year with the Giants.
