Bigbys problem is he doesnt play the ball he goes for the knockout hit each time.

Atari Bigby '07- 5 interceptions, 3 forced fumbles, 9 passes defensed. That's not playing the ball?

I just hope Bigby can regain his '07 form. If not, plug in A. Smith and keep rollin'.

I was referring to how he played in 08, when he would go to knock out the WR even when he could have had a INT.

Speaking of bush, i haven't really been disgusted at all by bush this preseason, and actually he has stood out in the time he has played(against scrubs, no doubt). I think it was said before that this sort of zone scheme plays better to his skills and i hope that is true. Last year i was pretty angry that he made the team over some other guys(cant remember who now) but i dont think i would be mad this year.

In all honesty, I could see Bush making the team as Collins backup at Free Safety and the team cutting ties with Rouse so they can carry 4 RBs on the roster. I'd like to be able to keep Rouse for one more season to see if he can't use that size of his and mature into a more complete player, but with the injury to Brandon Jackson now, the team might almost be forced to carry 4 RBs on the 53-man roster.

Havner is a pretty good bet to make the team imo. His ability to be a blocking TE and fill-in at OLB as well as special teams makes him a good fit.

And back on-topic, Bigby and Smith are both clearly the tandem at Strong Safety. I still think it's Bigby's job for now, but I'd seriously be shocked if Smith doesn't get some significant snaps as the season progresses.

Last year he only played in 7 games, and he was gimpy when he was in. He just didn't have it at all. Hopefully he's healthier now.

I hope so as well, i like Atari back there he makes wideouts think twice about going up for the ball. Id just like to see him go back to his 07 form.

BAD EMAIL because the address couldn ot be found, or is unable to receive mail.

I was going to say we still have 2 OLBers we havnt even seen play - thompson and matthews. And supposedly these guys are supposed to be close to being starters.

I'm not totally sold on havner being a shoe in. Who knows ... people say kuhn will be the odd man out ... I got to tell you I still really like kuhns plays. And will bad sad if they dont keep him.

Had got a nice TD vs the cards and is pretty good on ST.

-crossing fingers that they keep kuhn-

I'm surprised how fast people are willing to replace Atari. He was a beast in '07. '08 he was injured most of the time, played ok while being injured. I think he'll be more like the '07 Bigby if he's healthy this season.

Smith is, as I pointed out when signed, and upgrade over Charlie Peprah.

One of 4 Safeties on the final roster.

In reply to the comment about cutting ties with Rouse:

I don't think that we need to do that just so we can keep 4 RBs. I think we will just keep 2 TEs and keep Havner as a 3rd while he can play some LB as well.
