With first team defense.

Can't believe I'm excited to see Colt Anderson play. I guess David Sims couldn't out play Anderson in practice. Very disappointing after his good pre-season and the fact we traded for him. Maybe Sims isn't a practice guy, maybe he just lights up on gameday. There are a lot of players like that but he has to play in order to find out if he can play..

Let's give C.J. Gaddis a call and see what he is doing...

In the few snaps I've seen him play at safety during an actual game........   he's been absolutely terrible.

[nottsfootballfan]

Colt Anderson sucks.

David sims actually improved a bit during the NO game. I want to see him a lot over Anderson and coleman.

Lol! Really?......Dammit!!

[McnabbsPHIeagles]

Spads can start at safety for all I care, coverage will be blown one way or another.

Yeah, Anderson is a fantastic STs player, but is a terrible S. Sims, in one game, has played better than Anderson has his entire career at S.

At this point, they could stick Chuck E Cheese out there and hope his ears deflect the ball. They're trying different stuff and seeing what they have. Might as well see who is even worth being on the roster as a back up, let alone a starter.

[Runtherock]

I have no reason to believe Andy Reid or his staff possess the skills necessary to accurately assess safety talent.

Tou~che

Maybe it's for the fans' benefit to give us someone new to boo?

Agree. Colt should get a contract extension, but he shouldn't even be listed as a Safety. He's a pure Gunner, and one of the best in the league, but that's it. I was hoping he'd turn into the next Mikell, but it looks like that ain't happening.

Can't believe the next Brian Dawkins hasn't been given a chance in the NFL.

[CaliEagle]

Colt is a good S/T player, but he is not a NFL caliber safety. This is a desperation move because our safeties are so bad.  I guess the only positive thing is that Colt is willing to tackle, but he will struggle with coverage assignments.

[walkingwindchime]

jeeze ya'll i dont remember Sims doing squat...I must of missed it.

I like Colt....He finally got back into the line up and is doing good on special teams.

Whether he is good at safety remains to be seen.

Guess you didnt see how poor Colt was against Detroit.

I say at this point let the special teamer be a special teamer.  He's good at that, as far as Sims he wasnt that bad against NO.  He did give up some catches to Graham but wasnt grossly out of position like Coleman and Allen always are.  Even if he does suck he still deserves more of a shot than Colt because we traded for him.  We at least know what we have with Colt.  A high school level safety and an NFL level special teamer.

[jonnyeagles12]

Please play Sims. What is Reid seeing in practice?

[Krukslonelyball]

Sims and Anderson both suck. They need to upgrade the position.

[Pegger]

If you have a team still going in fantasy football you should start any Tampa Bay Buc you can get your hands on.

How do you know Sims sucks? Can you prove it? Or are you just using the word "sucks" loosely without knowing what you're talking about like some use it?

Please share with us how and why Sims sucks..

[TdotEaglefan]

why?

Dude is an Ace on special teams, but hasn't shown anything on the field as a safety. I would rather see sims again or Phillip Thomas called up from the Practice squad (if he's still there)

But Hopefully I'm wrong and Colt performs better with days of preparation before the game, something he didn't have before his last start. He's demonstrated that he can take good pursuit angles, Tackle properly and will actually hit somebody...traits that have been lacking in damn near every single member of our secondary this year.

[WeaponX225]

Please no Colt Anderson, I swear, the one time I seen him play one of the Safety spot's, he looked like the worse Saftey I have seen in my LIFE. Gaurantee he gives up a TD on a play action fake this week if he starts.

[bobrdld]

we should give Reno Mahe a call!  Or Considine...I hear he put on 15lb of muscle and he's a beast now.
