Wasn't Hugh Douglas "as good as signed" last year?

Well Mort's better than someone like Fred Edelstein (is he still out there somewhere?), but until there's a podium with Trotter, DickWad, Gun and Carl standing behind, anouncing that the ink is drying as they speak, I ain't gettin' excited.

If he does sign and we get Trotter, how much of an impact is he going to have? I just dont see how we are going to bounce back to the defense of the 90's by putting all the weight on one or two players during the offseason. What happens if these same players that we sign get hurt at the beginning of the season and are out for the year....then we'll be no better off then what we were last year.

I'm not sure how likely that is, since Carl and Vermeil are in different parts of the country.

Wonder how the announcement would go if it did happen today? Thum do it, maybe, or Vermeil?

It depends.

If somehow we get Trotter and Gold (or draft Johnson); and we get Surtain and Rolle (or draft Rolle or Jones) then I'd say we are poised to make substantial improvement.

Groan.

Their editors are that bad, though.

A year late, but good! I hope it happens.

Simply finding a leader on defense (or more than one) could make a significant difference.
