    Hell, if he's available dust off Finnegan- at least he was scrappy in the day. He might need a walker, but even with that he'd be better in man to man than our current corners.

    I hope that you don't think that I'm defending this guy.

    I am just a fan, but I just don't see whatever it is that the coaches see. I just hope that they prove me wrong.

    Is it effort? I mean, maybe he's just trying really hard and that's what the coaches see? Maybe he's another case of "close" just like the Titans were last year. He's always "close" to stopping a pass, the Titans were "close" to figuring it out and winning all their games last year.

    Oh not at all man. I was speaking more towards the coaches and staff. This guy better be cut and soon.

    They are laughing at us on the steelers fan site re Blake and McCain. They're hoping we drop Kalan so they can get him off waivers. I don't understand what the coaches see in Blake. Let's just roll with the rookies, they can't be worse.

    DLB doesn't play rookies.

    We've been running bland man2man coverage in preseason. Blake likely understands the zone concepts much more then Reed or Sims.

    I hope you're right. But those Steelers fans know Blake sucks after years of seeing it, and not just in preseason. The same way we know Mett sucks. It's actually kind of funny. They're convinced Mett is a great backup because of his strong arm and that his lack of success here was mostly due to lack of talent surrounding him. Mett is now their Blake, and vice versa. It's like we're throwing stink bombs at each other.

    Don't understand why we even bothered drafting DBs if we plan on having them sit behind scrub vets.
