Roman wouldn’t be the starter if Goldson could make it through a game without pulling a muscle. I like Michael Lewis, he isn’t a cover guy, but he is good against the run and really most strong safeties can’t cover. We knew what he was when we signed him and he has done a good job. He is a competitor, and doesn’t let his nagging injuries affect his play. I’m all for putting Smith back at safety, but I think he could be a good nickel.

Joe…after these next 4 games should give us a clear idea of how Singletary’s doing & his chances of being next years permanent coach. I’m pulling for him, man our players WANT to go all out for him & he’s genuinely all for the team. I love how he’s shuffling the personnel to get our best 22 out there & they’ve been working. I can’t wait for this Dallas game. Then AT Buffalo, HOME vs Jets, & AT Miami. Out of your guys I like Cowher no doubt. Holmgren’s team lately for me has been SOFT, he’s burnt out & needs to take a year off IMO.

USarmy9er…even if Dallas doesn’t let up I think we have a good chance getting a W. We were able to run against a good AZ team….7th vs the run / 89.8 YPG. Dallas is 15th vs the run / 105.5 YPG. This is a positive & gives us some hope.

Here’s more FYI stuff I want to put out there about Reggie Smith vs our present safeties. I was worried about his weakness which is his 40 time. He runs a 4.6/40 which is on the slow side. BUT it’s the same 40 time Michael Lewis has. Here’s last years stats.

Reggie Smith (started all games at CB)
2007 / 11 PASSES DEFLECTED / 3 INT’S / 78 TACKLES / 1 SACK

Michael Lewis
2007 / 5 PASSES DEFLECTED / 2 INT’S / 104 TACKLES / 1.5 SACKS

Mark Roman
2007 / 4 PASSES DEFLECTED / 0 INT’S / 62 TACKLES / 0 SACKS

Looking at this if Smith can properly develop for us he should be an upgrade to either Safety spots. Even though he was at CB all of last year he made plays & that can easily carry to Safety. If he were at Safety his tackles would have gone up. I see him more on the Strong side because of his slower speed. His instincts & better ability to defend the pass vs MLewis should make a difference. I don’t think we have that FAST & explosive Free Safety yet but Goldson should be an upgrade to Roman. It blows my mind Roman’s still the starter after all this time.

I couldnt agree more with those of you that say mark roman sucks! he did have a good game and it was a supprise.. but i realy cant wait until they get rid of him. im still big on michael lewis but would like to eventualy get a big play safety in there. for a long time now mark roman has realy done his part to fu#k things up for us in the secondary. time after time you see him on the other teams highlights giving up a big play. so you guys are right about roman no dout.

Mike.. agree with you all the way. Just because Roman had a “alright” game, he still fucking stinks. Adam where did you hear that Sing said he didnt think Willis was any good? Im skeptical of him being our head coach next year also but hes only had 3 games so lets see what he does this season. I personally would want Cower or Holmgren over Martz.

Hey West, gotta keep the Rice jersey. No doubt he is the greatest player in NFL history and I just was trying to see if I can piss off a few Cowgirl fans their last year in the worst stadium in all of sports…
