A step backwards

To say it is a step backwards implies that he is worse than Randall or Rollins, which I definitely disagree. Those two are both horrible. It doesn't take much to be better than them, at least the way they played last season.

NFL Network said it was 1 year at $3.5M. Didn't see how much is guaranteed. I'd have liked this done for less but that's just the way contracts are going this year. If he plays well, we get some much needed help at a position desperate for depth. If he doesn't, then it's not a huge sunk cost. Can't play much worse than our corners did last year. Still need more help at the position unless Randall and Rollins bounce back in a huge way (and I'm not keen to bank on that).

McCarthy must field a team with the players at Ted Thompson hires, remember that !

Also think Randall and Rollins will play better as well. As 2nd year players, they weren't ready to be thrust into the #1 and #2 spots. Let's not forget they were both pushed to play thru injuries that should have been given more time to heal.

Hopefully they learned from their second year, but it was so bad, I wonder if they are simply busts, or nothing more than depth corners.

House is much better depth at where we need it than Hyde.

I watched his game against us in week 1; the guy was quite good in coverage. He can still play, he's coming back home with what he learned in Jax.

And Randall played WAY too well at times to be as bad as he was at times. I'm 100% certain his issues were injury related. Rollins may have regressed a touch.

Gunter; House; Randall; a #1/2 pick that will be a 2nd yr player when playoffs begin; leap of Dorleant, Hawkins, Rollins and Waters; Brice's leap allow Burnett to play the slot CB; will make us forget all about our 2010 CB group of Harris, Woodson, Williams, Shields, Bush, Lee. Ummm, okay, this group will at least make us forget about Goodson.

got to say Wow really liked the things he said ... after reading that cant wait to see his play in action. Wouldnt say the same thing about our previous corners - more often then not they made me cringe.
