Hawks Sign CB Tramaine Brock, cleared of charges

[chris98251]

Well that accounts for lacking measurable, inside he doesn't need length as much as ability read and react. Also makes Lanes absence less a issue in the event Griffin takes RCB spot and owns it.

I saw another nice little take on this: the Cards are no longer able to sign him and they are seriously hurting for good talent at cornerback behind Patrick Peterson. Addition by subtraction in this deal as well.

Edited for spelling.

Is this the guy that got absolutely trucked by Rawls?

You'll have to be more specific. I'm pretty sure there has been more than 1 guy that has been trucked by Rawls. Rawls likes to truck dudes.

Yeah, Michael Wilhoite also got tr...oh, wait, crap.

 

[Atradees]

Defended 14 passes....that's decent. He will likely do more with more talent around him. Price was right.

I would not sign a DV guy, whose charges were dropped under very suspicious circumstances, even though we need a corner. Unfortunately, Schneider just doesn't ask my opinion very often on these cases.

A Wilson check down to Rawls and he bludgeoned his way up the side line. It's featured in this little segment.

Thankfully Schneider doesn't sign DV guys either.

Also, sounds like 11 or 12 teams were after him once this was cleared up. Including the Niners who wanted to sign him to an extension, and he told them to pound sand basically.

I heard that also and call BS on it. Why would he sign a 1 year league minimum deal for a nickle spot with 11 other teams wanting to sign him?

Super Bowl Ring?

We all know that Pete & John don't like the short, short armed CB's, and he seems like more of a slot type guy.

Makes me wonder if Lane's injury is worse than initially thought

Actually I thinks it's probably more of an indication that Lane just isn't that good. He never earned the contract he was given before last season. 4 years $23 million for a guy that had played a TOTAL of 13 games in the previous TWO seasons? This was a mistake contract, and I expect Brock to be on the field significantly more than Lane even when Lane is healthy.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Regardless, he chose the right team to play for. And I hope he kicks a** :irishdrinkers:

Awful lot of 49er rejects coming to the Seahawks. Not sure if that's a good direction to be going. Hopefully they work out.

Super Bowl Ring?

Someone who fights with the mother of his child over what to watch on TV is more interested in a ring then additional millions of $$? We recently paid Lane near $6M per year by comparison.

Doubtful that is all of it IMO.

Yeah, San Francisco didn't have Earl Thomas. I suspect Brock gets burnt less here.

Love another option at nickel CB. Lane was Torchwood last year.
