Secondary Concerns

[TruCatzFan]

Not overly thrilled with the cuts of some of our Seconday players. Namely at CB. We absolutely MUST stay healthy back there. We have zero depth. If there's one weakness on this team (besides ST's) it's our secondary.

Especially being in our division I think that we failed to address this area in a big way. I would not feel this way at all had Hogan not been put on the IR...

Something isn't adding up, I don't know what it is, but I think I smell a move in the very near future. If not by the opener I'd expect to see a new face one way or another by week 2.

Something just isn't sitting right with me on this...

5 safeties and 4 cornerbacks (one of them being Captain and Gamble being the only veteran)....

This seems pretty strange to me too. There's no way we are comfortable with these corners.

Maybe they know Norman is going to be Gamble 2.0 and are ok with Capt as backup.

[Ivan The Awesome]

Well we're either relying heavily on Norman to step up or there's something in the works to acquire another CB.

Interested to see what Campbell turns into. He looks athletic as hell

Top 3 CB's to be released IMHO are Dominique Franks Released by ATL , Drayton Florence released by Denver and Joselio Hanson released by Philly.

Word is were not looking at Hanson. But, those appear to be the options right now.

It would not suprise me in the slightest if we brought in a veteran like Florence, Franks has talent and is young, but youth is not our problem in the secondary.

I wouldn't be surprised to see us sign a veteran CB after week one, that way the salary won't be guaranteed.

Florence went to Detroit

Florence went to Detroit

Well, he was one of the top cut players......

Looks like it is down to Franks......

I don't know about you guys, but I wouldn't be opposed to giving away a 4th or 5th rounder to grab a young-ish CB that has been productive. Particularly ones on bad teams, or ones that are nearing the end of their contract and might like to get out of a crappy city. Maybe someone like Derek Cox for the Jags, Antoine Cason of the Chargers, or one of the Seahawks corners. I don't know, feel free to suggest any other people or shoot down my idea entirely like i am sure some of you will.

[carolina-chuck]

They better fix it soon

[Jackofalltrades]

Several Atl fans were miffed to see Franks cut, he's also supposed to be a pretty solid PR.

[jarhead]

I always thought that the JJohnson defense called for two solid corners to hold coverage so it would not surprise me if we make a move

I think he shows promise but I see him getting burned at this point in his career
