Let's go get Lito. I realize that AL might be back in a month and that Tramon played fairly well las t week, but Lito is the replacement for either AL or Charles in a year or less. Get him now and really solidify the DB's.

DEPENDING on what we have to give up, regardless of Al Harris' injury I would want us to go after him.

I'm a sucker for good players, what can I say?

Couldn't agree with you guys more. ChuckWood and Al are warriors, but they're not getting any younger. Lito can come in and sub for either one, and as we go forward he can replace either one, while we're still grooming someone like Pat Lee or Tramon to replace the other one.

With the way our D works*, we need two very strong CBs, and three would be even better. It's a no-brainer to me.



*and especially the way it could work, if we'd ever get some balls and learn to blitz. With our LB corps and secondary, we've got the personnel to run an Eagles-style D.

---

So you guys have already wrote off Blackmon and Lee right? Real nice, one question though, if Lito is so great why was he relegated to nickel? Do you think Philly's aggressive blitzing might make their corners appear better than they are?

---

Why would Lito go from one situation where he is a nickel to another?

If Al is able to come back.. does he go to nickel.. don't think so.

---

I think he's a great player. but he's unhappy in Philly because of he isn't a starter. hypothetically, he comes to Green Bay and fills in for Al for a month. Al comes back. Lito is once again a reserve player. Is he going to be any happier as a backup in Green Bay than he is as a backup in Philly? I don't think this will happen.

edit: 93z beat me to the punch

My money says that Ted Thompson will go after that kid in Oakland, who will be freed from his sentence as a Raider after this year. If the team, in fact, is looking for a big splash FA in the secondary, he is the guy.

4 DL
3 LB
3 CB
1 Safety


:) lol


Nah, but I bet Charles Woodson would make a good safety.

---

Yeah us and anybody else that has some money. This guy will make much more than Clements did two years ago.

---

I just don't think that Al will be back as soon as everyone hopes. Additionaly with the amount of 3 and 4 WR sets, why wouldn't we consider starting 3 CB's?

BTW - It seems as though I remember Al was a 3rd DB in Philly too....he seems to have turned out okay.
