Wow. Looking at available free agents

with Felton leaving, there is no one for him to coach. Sharper is also a guy I respect, but isn’t that what Coleman is here for? Coleman has 9 years experience, so he should be able to mentor the safeties. Two years ago, I’d be clamoring for some of these guys. I can’t tell you how happy it makes me that I can honestly look at this list and say, “Meh.” We have solid veterans at most of the positions we need. I think our focus now should be the youngins and the square pegs. Until some of our veterans retire, I’d say we’re set for team grandpas.

IMO Coleman is not playing as well as I expected him to. I like Silva but he is young and may not pan out. If he plays he will make some rookie mistakes at the very least. Perhaps an unknown though is if they would put Vasher at Safety if needed. If so I could see him doing well there as a depth player.

If someone of note did become available though I would not break my heart to see Silva go on the practice squad, if he is eligible, or even to see Coleman replaced for an upgrade.

It is not a huge concern though and I do like Colemans intangibles and veteran presence. I just think he is closer to losing two steps than one and get a bit worried out there. A lot of that could just be chemistry and he might improve some as the year goes on.

name me a team that has better..

Derrick started out as all the hype in camp, but in the most recent lineups he is rarely even seeing the field. In interviews Linehan has already talked about how good of additions that Rashied Davis and Maurice Stovall are going to be this year. To that point also Dan Miller has been talking about how Stovall went from being about 7 or 8 on the depth chart to making the 53 now. Basically Stovall took Williams roster spot this year, or Davis, but either way they both seem to be better in many eyes.

I only mention Dan Miller because he is in the know from an insiders perspective. He gets conversations and insight into that team on a daily basis that no other media person does and he rarely goes out on a limb and ends up looking like an idiot. Generally he tends to say very safe things.

Then you have Jerome Harrison who has been looking better and better, in fact he might look better than Best if he keeps it up. We just had some free agents come in this year and knock it out of the park.

Schwartz had mentioned that maybe a couple of decisions were going to be made on tonight’s performance and I did not see Derrick Williams do anything outstanding to earn a job off the bubble which he definitely has been on since his drops in week two was it? Anyways yeah, so long Derrick, hopefully Mayhew can get something for you before the door hits yah bum.
