I know he's not a CB, but why is Chris Crocker not on this team? He's usually here by mid-October. And for that matter Eric Wilhelm.

There just are not any good CBs out there to sign.
Jones has to miss as many games as he needs to get better. We are pretty much a lock to make the playoffs. More important to get there healthy than wear everyone out just to get home field advantage.
I guarantee he will play as son as they let him.
If Hall can play we might get by. But If we have both Hill and Shaw in the top CB rotation we will be in trouble against the Steelers. No matter how good they are they both need some game experience to sharpen their skills. They may be fine once they have played a few games, but they are too green to stop Roethlisberger and the receivers he has. Hate him all you want, but Ben is a Hall-of-Fame QB who and as dangerous as any QB in the league throwing the ball down the field.
We will miss Iloka also.

I'm surprised to see people saying they want Cary Williams. This is the same guy we abused when we played Seattle. Honestly, we'd be better off just playing 10 guys on D than putting Williams on the field, if we were dumb enough to sign him.

All we need is for Reggie Nelson to be playing. He is Big Ben's kryptonite. Ben in the later stages of the game must think Nelson is a Stealer.

Nobody can cover Antonio Brown and we are looking at our second string guys to cover him. Not ideal. Now with Iloka out, we lose a thumper with experience. The next guys need to step up.

How hard of a chuck can you give at the LOS? If I put two guys on Brown and plow him backwards with a double team would that be illegal?
