    I tried to watch Kenny Tate a few weeks ago, but I couldn't get past the hideous Maryland jerseys...




    Tate was expossed badly against both Miami and especially WVU. Ttae is a hybird player. Plays more of the free flex LB spot then he does at Safety. He's very tall, but very lean, and is brittle. Sorry Dub but I can't Imagine why you would think this guy is in anyway a replacement for Clark. He is at best 4th round talent, with no real upside over Akwasi.

      Those uniforms look like they were designed by an out of work wardrobe assistant from the 70s B-file industry.

        "The Bills also announced signing rookie offensive guard Keith Williams to their practice squad. Listed at 6-foot-5 and 310 pounds, the Nebraska product was drafted in the sixth round by Pittsburgh in April before being released by the Steelers earlier this month.

        Williams will provide Buffalo insurance at guard with starter Kraig Urbik expected to miss between two and four weeks with a knee injury."

            I had mentioned bringing in DeGeare & Adrian Tracy in a thread around final cuts, I'd still recommend doing it but would lean more towards DeGeare.

              I saw that. But he was a free agent. Not someone who was signed off a PS, that is why they could place him on their PS....If that was what you were wondering.

              Wasn't wondering anything. I said signed to their practice squad to inform people he was now on someones practice squad because he was unemplyed since the Steelers released him and wasn't listed on the Bills list above. Nice to hear you know how the system works.

                Here...you guys have Kraig Urbik and Keith Williams. We'll take Jonathan Scott and Jamon Meredith. One team's trash is another team's...well, still trash I guess.
                We just trade OL with the Bills. Give them our unproven and take their unwanted.

                  Akwasi Owusu-Ansah vs. Da'Mon Cromartie-Smith? Let the battle of the hyphens begin!!!

                  I don't think the Steelers will get rid of Ryan Sunday-Mundy or Will Special-Allen to sign Akwasi Owusu-Ansah to the 53 so I would guess the Steelers will stay with Da'Mon Cromartie-Smith.

                  If one of the reserve safeties go down with an injury, I would love to see Akwasi Owusu-Ansah on the 53 over Da'Mon Cromartie-Smith.

                    I'd be interested to kick the tires on Everette Brown...he could be a good 3-4 Lb. And I'd love to bring in Tyrell Sutton, I'd swap him for Mewelde Moore in a heartbeat.
