Any news on the man who "must feed his family"?
He's feeding his family. He also fed my family and I thank him for it. He drives a canteen truck around Gillette stadium selling food. I bought an italian sausage off him that was just great. He also has pre-packaged roast beef sandwiches which are very good. I wasn't really digging his attitude, but man did he have some good lunch meat.
why the ty law hate? he did a lot to help this team win
It looks to me like Ty seriously overplayed his hand. I have to think he would have had a job if he hadn't held out for top dollar.
But maybe he just figured "Hey, I'm rich and reasonably healthy. If somebody will give me $5 million, that's worth subjecting my body to another year of NFL punishment. If not, it's jacuzzi time." Maybe...but I doubt it.
Although, I will say - and some will consider this blasphemy - that I'm not sure how I feel about Rodney's coverage against the slot WR or TEs in the nickel package on 3rd downs. Ty Law might provide better coverage skills without completely giving up all the bulk & physicality they want for the guy in that role.
I agree with this. At this point I feel very good about our CBs and very, very good about our front 7, but I'm really wishing Tank Williams were still around to help out at safety.

I think Rodney can still help the team, but we need to get him a back-up. Meriweather is looking real good this year. Gotta like that.
I agree, Meriweather has looked great so far - both in the nickel package and in the situations when they put him in the base 3-4 (they've done it for a couple of series both games).
Week 1 safety play
Rodney: 50 of 50
Sanders: 42 of 50
Meriweather: 23 of 50
Week 2 safety play
Rodney: 57 of 63
Sanders: 53 of 63
Meriweather: 36 of 63
As the season goes on, I'd expect or I'm hoping Meriweather's number gradually increases as he plays more series in the base 3-4.
IMHO, Meriweather should start next to Rodney at FS and Sanders should rotate in as the #3 guy. James has peaked out, he is what he is and will not getting any better. He's steady, but Brandon brings much more to the table now and into the future.
