All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Anyone else think that Rashad Baker might be the FS we have been looking for?

Seriously, he has dominated in Training Camp. He has about 8 interceptions thru camp and is a solid cover DB. I'm beginning to think that the Coy Wire test at FS is over and Wire will go back to SS and backup Milloy. Reese and Baker will fight for the starting FS and if Baker keeps it up, he might steal the job. He has all the tools and could be the missing link.
It's early, but he looked terrific last night. He seems to have good cover skills and the willingness to hit.
Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

We can't afford to keep 5 Ss on the team. I'm predicting Prioleau is gone. He has shown nothing at camp and even in the game. And if you lose Prioleau...you gotta move Wire back to SS, where he belongs.
SS Lawyer Milloy, Coy Wire
FS Izell Reese, Rashad Baker (Baker could take this by midseason if given the chance)

Yeah...I was tempted to put that down as well...I really didn't see much out of Pierson last night. Only thing is, I want to see Baker do this again Saturday night (have a good game) before I'll think he can bump Prioleau off the roster. But I like what I saw out of the kid last night

I agree! But like I said...Baker has been a beast all training camp, and then at the scrimmage and now in the game. Let's hope he can keep it up on Saturday. If he does...
i am not giving up on wire yet.. i almost hate to see him move back.. the guy is getting moved around like a rag doll..
"hey thanks for working your tail off for the last year trying to be a FS, after you just finished learning the SS spot on the fly as a rookie..
oh yeah.. we are moving you back to SS... you will never start a game before you contract expires.. good luck with the team that signs and gives you a starting gig."
totally wasted 3rd round pick. shame.
