As well as the defensive players we have......
No question we love our Boise guys. Wasn't sure if Lawrence played with him at all. Pretty sure Scandrick would have but IR players aren't really around the team as much.

Hakeem Nicks fell off my radar. What's the deal with him? He was really good for the Giants for several years and then just kind of disappeared.
Same foot injury as Bryant. Looks like he hasn't been right since.

Yeah I would sign Nicks. He had 38 catches and 4 touchdowns last year. We don't need the player he used to be, just a solid guy who can keep Street off the field.

Why so down on street? Because of one tipped ball INT?
I wouldn't exactly call that a tipped ball INT. In fact, I don't think it should have been ruled an INT at all. Looked to me that he pulled the ball in, took a step or two, then had the ball stripped out.

I wouldn't mind Robert Meachum...he is still out there.

If we sign Nicks Schmitty will be lactating all over the place.

Heaven help us if Dwayne Bowe is ever available.

Seriously? What has he shown at all? Your question comes across as if he's been good other than that one play.
That's not how I intended it, just asking what you think he lacks? I think he's a nice young player who has had 2 offseasons to work with Romo and I would think that would be just as good as some retread who hasn't been productive in 3 years like Nicks.

Randy Moss? :unsure

In all seriousness, think we should sign Nicks; he was serviceable last year and looked solid this preseason. He's reliable and can get us by for a few weeks until Dez is back.

Nicks had 38 catches last year. That's more productive than Street will probably be.

I had hopes for Street when we drafted him, but even in limited roles so far I haven't seen much promise. He played half the game against the giants and gave us nothing. He didn't show much in the preseason either, and if he'd developed in his two years like he should, the preseason is where he should show up at the very least.

I hope I'm wrong but I see a guy who hasn't flashed, hasn't been pushing anyone above him on the depth chart, and the team has so little confidence in his ability to step up that they immediately are looking at guys like Nicks who is mostly washed up.

This seemed like a good idea at the time.

If Nicks has anything, teams will not be able to ignore him. Street won't command any respect, no matter what.

The big question is, does Nicks bring anything to the table these days?

Clyde Gates is the worst of the group in my opinion. I wouldn't waste my time.
