I also like Haynos. He could be good someday. My guess though is that they’ll stick with the 3 TEs they have now, or possibly even deactivate Finley in order to keep active another WR or CB. I was a bit disappointed on Sunday night that the Pack didn’t use more 2 tight end sets for passes to Humphrey or Lee.

As for who they might add, I hope its the tight end Haynos. The kid is Jason Witten-like and I think would bring a lot more to the current team than Finley.
Would they have 4 tight ends on the roster? Well, with Hall hurting, they could always use one of them at fullback…

As for the defensive backfield, I think they’ll stick with what they have. Pat Lee has yet to see the field from scrimmage much and I think he’ll surprise.

Who do we add to the roster if Harris is done for the year? Joe Porter from the practice squad?

Your statement: Tramon Williams has demonstrated no ability to cover one-on-one. My response: you have zero clue what you are talking about.

How on EARTH is that insulting or name-calling in any way? If anything,
I have made it abundantly clear over the last year how much I value your past service to our country, never once having stooped to personal attacks, no matter how much I may disagree with your misguided views on the Green and Gold.

As for the matter at hand: Did you even read Andy’s post? Williams covered T.O. several times on Sunday night, and covered him well. What more do you want from the kid? He’s young and will make mistakes, no doubt. But to state that he has shown nothing in man-to-man is absurd.

I’m a moron? Fine. A pompous ass? I’ve been called worse by better. (Starting with my wife ) My tone is aggressive? Guilty as charged, when it comes to ridiculous fan-speak.

I value your opinion, Ron, even though I may not agree with it a hundred percent of the time. But don’t mistake my tone for a personal attack. Life is too short.

part of what separates this site from others is the calm temper of its discussion, but challenges that address one’s stance (and not one’s mother, or choice of favorite color – after all, there are no vikings fans here) are best met with empirical evidence, or perhaps a wise and collected nothingness. that is, unless you have a really quality stab at someone’s mother, in which case you should get it out there so the rest of us are well-informed.

i’ve reacted passionately to things like suggesting that culpepper would be a worthwhile pursuit, and i think it is wise to generally avoid citing things like andy’s unfortunate crack use (perhaps why he must play zone defense with only one child – but i try not to judge, having neither a destructive drug habit, nor children) in such reactions. but if these things come up – i think a thick-skinned response is just as important as a fair tone when trying to avoid the downward spiral that plagues so many blog comment boards.

so. enough diplomacy. i think this is certainly a tough situation to judge. cb’s seem to me to be about as predictable as an electron on crystal meth, at least until you’ve given them a season or two to show their trends (ahmad carroll). we’ve been fortunate enough to aquire two very quality cb’s via free agency after they proved their worth. one who was sitting behind two of the best in philly, and one who was stuck in a world run by al davis. both had immense talent, and a strong desire to prove themselves in a new venue.

now we must home-grow, and that’s a very risky endeavor. i agree with some who say that this might be a blessing in disguise, as harris would likely not have been ok with becoming a nickel or safety to stay in as a mentor (like the scenario i see driver being a part of as he ages) – i think he’s too competitive. of course, to call a ruptured spleen a blessing feels a bit heartless, and i have nothing against harris. he’s been such an important part of this defense, and even if williams steps it up, this d needs harris’ intensity now more than ever. as much as his ‘lost step’ would continue to cost the pack, harris nearly always had the fire and focus to bounce back with a spectacular tackle or batted ball. i sincerely hope he recovers well, but i think it may be too serious to mount a miraculous return.

to Al! (glass raised).

Clueless is not name calling? I respond, I don’t start. You are a pompus ass Aaron.
