I am not TOO worried about the DBs we have help coming but what about LBs? I mean I know VERY little about Adalius Thomas but isnt he still a FA? Is tehre anyone else out there that is on the sidelines?

great question
we have bigby and harris coming back in two weeks which should be a huge help in the secondary
but with barnett now maybe being out for the year and chillar maybe having a serious injury, it would be nice to add some kind of vet help at ILB. i don't think bishop or simpkins will be good enough to play opposite of hawk -
I get having a rook at RB because really that position is more O line than anything unless it is an elite back.
LBs...I mean I love Hawk but he cant hide another ILBs mistakes...Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive.

Re: Is there veteran help out there for LB or DB?
I believe that Thomas is an OLB.Originally posted by Tony OdayComment

I did know that but can Pop move inside? He is stout against the run...I really am just spit balling.Originally posted by Scott CampbellSwede: My expertise in this area is extensive.

According to NFL.com, Poppinga has been moved inside. Can't find it in Packer press though.I can't run no more

Makes the most sense. OLB still has Matthews, Jones, and Zombo for their rotation, ILB was JUST hawk and bishop atm. We had to move someone inside, and at least pop is decent verse the run.Originally posted by JoemailmanComment

We don't beg. Ever. We just play with the guys we got, or whomever we can find on a practice squad.Originally posted by Scott Campbell
This is not an emergency. The young guys will just have to step up. That's the way it works. We'll have the "most experienced" young guys in the history of the NFL.
AT won't be making even a trip to GB. I wanted him here during training camp if you recall, for competition with the young guys. I was resoundly booed and criticized yet again.Comment

There is a strong possibility that after this weekend we are leading the division. Far too soon to panic.Busting drunk drivers in Antarctica since 2006Comment

I'd feel better if Revis was fully fit. I don't expect too much from Carolina. I don't share the optimism, but I don't share the panic.Originally posted by falcoComment

This is where the draft and develop style of team building pays off -- we look to be deep enough to pull of a pretty good season despite the injuries. We played several games last year with our 3rd/4th string DBs and still ended up doing pretty well. All of those guys are being called on once again but now have quite a bit of game experience in this system.When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro ~Hunter S.Comment

A lot depends on what happens to Chillar and Barnett now. Really if this team has any serious hopes to go deep into the playoffs you can't lose both those guys."The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."
