guess the knees couldn't hold up anymore

love trot....like the move

Wingspan · August 21, 2007, 10:03:00 AM

I'm actually relieved. The guy was terrible late last season...ESPECIALLY in the playoffs.

So, who starts in the middle? Spikes or Gaither?

ice grillin you · August 21, 2007, 10:04:32 AM

ive championed spikes in the middle since the day they signed him....at this point in his career and post injuries i think hes best suited there

tho i think it will be gaither...this isnt all about trotter not being able to play anymore i think a big part of it is what theyve seen of gaither in the middle during camp

link?

get vick!1!

okay...that made no sense.

Not surprised. I don't think they'll put Spikes in the middle, and Gaither outside. It'll be the reverse. Spikes, Gaither, Kong/Bradley. It does kind of make me nervous that suddenly the LB corps is so young and inexperienced.

Uh yeah, which is why I'd like some proof. (not WIP proof, real proof)

The proof will come. You didn't see this coming?? You'll be surprised when he the axe man gets the axe?

Not your proof PG, but definately a pointer.

Omar goes to work

Omar Gaither, who started the second half of last season at weak-side linebacker, got much of the work with the starting defense yesterday at middle linebacker, although the significance of that wasn't immediately clear since there was nobody around to talk about it.

Gaither, who is on the first nickel, has been backing up Jeremiah Trotter this summer at middle.

Trotter is entering his 10th NFL season, has bad knees and is coming off an admittedly disappointing 2006 season.

This didn't appear to be a case of Reid resting a veteran, since Trotter was out there working with the second-team defense.

Reid met with the media before practice and wasn't available after practice. There was no locker room access or player availability following practice.

With the other choice right now being "old & crippled", youth wins.
