I'm not saying McGee's any good. I'm saying the staff believes he's better than Clements, which, considering how poorly McGee has been today against Williams, doesn't say much for Clements does it?

unfair assesment.

its matchups. why was hobbs with evans all day long but then couldnt stop wes welker?

you cant say because a player is lined up on a team's best WR that hes their best CB

1 reason u scout the games and then determine: he might be better off covering X this week because of (reason, athletic ability, speed, etc) not to mention Clements isnt 100%

McGee has been playing opposite the other teams best WR for several weeks now. So a definite trend has been started. And rightly so because Clements has been horrid this year.

At any rate, Clements can't tackle worth a damn so he'll be of little value to BB.

so how has he had over 60 tackles each year since coming in league?

Seems that times are changing in the NFL. Can anyone remember trades during the season like are possible this year? In the end my bet is there still won't be that many but there is a hell of alot more talk of it this year.

Look if you don't believe me that Clements is a liability as a tackler go check out a Bills message board ask them. They'll tell you just as I have. While you are there ask them what they think of him as a corner too.

A big part of the reason is the new CBA. In the past if you traded a player their entire unamortized bonus went on your cap immediately. So teams trading a player whose contract extended beyond the current year would could actually lose cap space in a trade. That has changed, now it goes on next year's cap just like it would if the player is released.

If we can get Kelly for a mid round pick, I say why not. It would be nice to shore up the DB depth considering we got a few nicked guys at that position. I'm ruling out Clements because it sounds like he wants the big $$ and the Pats won't give that out just to shore up their DB depth.
