Bigby placed on injured reserve
By Greg A. Bedard of the Journal Sentinel

Green Bay - Atari Bigby's lost season ended today as the Packers placed the safety on injured reserve.

The Packers signed defensive lineman Anthony Toribio from the practice squad to the active roster to take Bigby's roster spot.

Bigby injured his hamstring just before halftime of the Week 2 game against the Detroit Lions. He missed the next five games. And while he came back to start four games after the bye week, he was nowhere near close to the impact player from a season ago. A chronic ankle injury has proved to be the most troublesome.

Fullback Russ Weil was signed to the practice squad. He rookie from Illinois had spent time on the St. Louis Rams practice squad.

How many games did he even start this year?

Hopefully Bigby comes back healthy next year and be a major contributor on our defense.

I look at it this way.

Being the way he plays the game (Full out hard hitter.) losing almost a year to a hammy and ankle, is better than losing a half a year do to consecutive concussions.

I have seen too many hard hitters like Bigby lose a career by changing the way they play the game do to serious head or neck injuries. He is the kind of player that can not tone it down, or he will be whiffing tackles by bouncing off people like he was when he first came to the NFL.

He will be back, and it will be all good.

It's obviously better than something that changes his playing style or ends his career, but this isn't working either.

Lets hope this is a one time thing. If there's one thing I hate it's injury prone players. Nothing against them, obviously, but an injured player is a useless one.

The only good thing I see in this, is that his contact will be cheaper, but that's not a whole lot of help either if he's not on the field.

I think he has the same stats as Colts' safety Bob Sanders. 36 tackles, 1 interception. Just saw it on TV.

I'd like to see Rouse in there instead of Bigby, actually. He's a ball hawk, Bigby is not.

I especially like Rouse because he's from Va. Tech, and that's the college that I root for. Plus, I live like 2 hrs. from there.

Personally, I would also rather have him in there than Bigby. Sometimes he takes bad angles on tackles, though...And I like Bigby's big hits, oh wait, Rouse is a big hitter too. So there you have it.

Rouse should start.

Something I didn't like though, is the way he sometimes seems to abandon his play to go for glory or just totally misses his assignment.

The best example I can remember is the interception against the Colts. He got the INt. and returned it for a TD, but totally let his man go. If Manning wouldn't have stared down his man the way he did, and the rest of our secondary wasn't that good at coverage, we would've given up a TD there.
