looks like this guy would backup Nick Collins if anything

Yeah, looks like a back-up and special teams person

Another top-notch, well-considered JSO article:

Mentions Collins & Bigby, says this guy could start if Bigby doesn't come back from injury, then states "The Packers' other safeties are Charlie Peprah and Jarrett Bush...."

What about Aaron Rouse, the #3 safety in 2008?

Well if you can do a better job than me I would like to see you try!

Silverstein's assertion that one-gap play requires greater lateral movement than two-gap is also wrong.

He's the worst kind of hack - one with an agenda.

Both the JSO and GBPG headlines say it all.

"A call to arms, bring your pitchforks and torches......."

"Slimpicking" is TT's middle name.

The headlines are quite blatant, aren't they? "The sky is falling, the sky is falling..." The articles go on to make it sound like the team is doomed because Colin Cole went to Seattle and Kuhn is going on visits to other teams, etc.

I get a kick out of Silverstein's apology for leaving out Rouse in the article...

He deflects his screw-up by suggesting that Rouse could be an OLB - and then offers his patented shallow amateur analysis of Rouse's potential there.

What a joker. He's completely WRONG and completely unqualified to suggest it. How do they keep these jobs? And who do you have to blow to get one?

Silverstein uses an old Tank trick when he "justifies" omitting Rouse from the list of safeties.

He says at 6-4 233, Rouse could be a LB.

Rouse is 6-4 223.

A typo or miscue?

Nah.

Silverstein is the worst kind of hack and a bullshitter to boot.

I also have to take exception to the assertion that "pickings are slim". Of the approximately 500 players who were eligible for some sort of free agency this year, only 100 of them have signed with anybody, which includes players who resigned with their own teams before free agency, or shortly into free agency, and RFAs who signed their tender.

So potentially, the top quintile is gone, but at least the guys in the fourth quintile aren't exactly "slim pickings."

[Harlan Huckleby]

pickins slim - aren't Vonnie Holiday and Jason Taylor still out there? Ya, they are old. snow on the roof but fire in the chimney and all that.

No...it's dungeon..Cuz you aint getting out till the cops come. TT is too smart for that though. TT doesn't believe in crop circles either. He just tells the corn to lay the fuck down.
