A step backwards

To say it is a step backwards implies that he is worse than Randall or Rollins, which I definitely disagree. Those two are both horrible. It doesn't take much to be better than them, at least the way they played last season.

NFL Network said it was 1 year at $3.5M. Didn't see how much is guaranteed. I'd have liked this done for less but that's just the way contracts are going this year. If he plays well, we get some much needed help at a position desperate for depth. If he doesn't, then it's not a huge sunk cost. Can't play much worse than our corners did last year. Still need more help at the position unless Randall and Rollins bounce back in a huge way (and I'm not keen to bank on that).

McCarthy must field a team with the players at Ted Thompson hires, remember that !

Also think Randall and Rollins will play better as well. As 2nd year players, they weren't ready to be thrust into the #1 and #2 spots. Let's not forget they were both pushed to play thru injuries that should have been given more time to heal.

I'm sure they will have to fight through injuries this upcoming season too, and we probably can't expect a rookie drafted at 29 to be ready to be the #1 CB. Hopefully they learned from their second year, but it was so bad, I wonder if they are simply busts, or nothing more than depth corners.

House is much better depth at where we need it than Hyde.

I watched his game against us in week 1; the guy was quite good in coverage. He can still play, he's coming back home with what he learned in Jax.

And Randall played WAY too well at times to be as bad as he was at times. I'm 100% certain his issues were injury related. Rollins may have regressed a touch.

Gunter; House; Randall; a #1/2 pick that will be a 2nd yr player when playoffs begin; leap of Dorleant, Hawkins, Rollins and Waters; Brice's leap allow Burnett to play the slot CB; will make us forget all about our 2010 CB group of Harris, Woodson, Williams, Shields, Bush, Lee. Ummm, okay, this group will at least make us forget about Goodson.

got to say Wow really liked the things he said ... after reading that cant wait to see his play in action. Wouldnt say the same thing about our previous corners - more often then not they made me cringe.

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : New site so much better. Might make switch and deal with it.
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Mecole Hardman to our practice squad
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Nick Nieman from Texans our 5th linebacker. Special teams signing
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3
wpr (27-Aug) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.

beast (27-Aug) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah
dfosterf (27-Aug) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work
dfosterf (27-Aug) : 19 players in a contract year. Jones called loss to us worst loss in Cowboy history. Forget Parsons trade. Not happenin' Cap'n
packerfanoutwest (27-Aug) : The Packers, meanwhile, are the youngest team in the league for the third consecutive year.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : He's outta shape. Why, just the other day I saw him splayed out on the trainers table
Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Parsons has followed Rasheed Walker on Twitter. Quite the choice
Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Kuhn is a former player who works for the team, if somethings going down, he would be close to it
