Boy that's a dumb statement. Nothing says we can't stock up anyway, AND have him on the team. If he gets outplayed, he gets outplayed in Training Camp.
I don't think you do. Was he going to cover Dallas Clark? Fletcher? Rhodes?
Our LB coverage was our weakness. That's why Alexander got so much playing time - in the hope that he could keep up with the TEs and RBs. Manning torched our D in the 2nd half and I don't think Seau would have changed that.
Maybe Seau would have been a factor in our Red Zone defense, but I think clearly Harrison was the big loss.
Yes, but Addai and Rhodes had great days as well. If we could have limited their ground game a little or pressured Manning more it would have helped. But point taken.
