I don't have any visions of McCleon holding down the fort. I am very comfortable with Ashley Ambrose starting opposite Surtain.

...and Sammy Knight and Kendrell Bell.

Me neither! That is surprising!! Reading that raises my hopes a tad. I had totally written him off after the recent signing. CP can use the 3.5 with a big signing bonus and make it happen.

I suspect they are still concerned about his foot??? Oh, and YES, C.P. is trying to get him as cheap as possible.

I like the sound of the best D.B.s in the NFL!!!!! Mix in a greatly improved LBer corps. And hopefully ... allow the DL to rise above 04 performances and we have a great cake in the oven!!! Making it hot on opposing O. Wouldn't that be fun to watch week after week.

Ambrose would have been a starter last year if the coaches hadn't been hell-bent on a youth movement.

the bottom line is carl has a hard on for law, and we just might get him.

Plus, if Shields, Roaf, and some of the other older guys retire next season as has been hinted, wouldn't that cap space be available next year if a two part signing bonus is structured in this contract?

So Surtain stops guys like Moss. Meanwhile, Porter has a career day on the other side of the field...

You can always find the room. The problem is Law wants to be payed like Pat Surtain. Do you really think Law is worth that much coming off a major injury?

And I'de hate even worse to watch Law play like his former self while teams are picking us to pieces through the air (expecially during Warfields suspension). If we had a healthy Law and Surtain starting and Warfield playing nickle, it's going to force opponents to play a one dimensional offense. And all of us know what Gun can do to a one dimensional offense (see Atlanta game last year). If we have unused cap space left going into this season, while a guys available that has the potential to be a playmaker, SPEND THE DAMN MONEY.

Pure speculation. Ambrose has been a solid CB in the league for years and in my opinion, is on the same level as Eric Warfield.

Correct!!! And if they do sign him and he doesn't play to expectations ... what will we lose? Cap room for next year? So what!!!! It's not like we have not struck out with players in the past. At least he has a lot more potential upside than most others we have signed in recent years.

If we have not chance at him I'll shut my mouth. But, if we have a shot and C.P. blows it then ........................

Awful easy to spend someone elses money on risky investments, huh?

Something about that statement does not make me feel any better about AA. I'm just lukewarm on AA at best. I saw a couple of his interceptions last year on TV this weekend. There were no offensive players anywhere around him. Just very crappy throws by the QB's/ blown routes by the WR's.

This year is it for the offense as we know it. Yes, I think Law is worth it.

Fans and media have been saying that for the last couple of seasons about the offense.
