Now, the man who was our top corner after the injuries and who was already the number two behind Bartell heading into the season is done as well. That means that our corner group will look something like Al Harris, King, Rod Hood (signed last week) and Josh Gordy (practice squad). This secondary was already awfully bad, and now the one bright spot we had (in addition to Quintin Mikell) is gone. Read more on next page… 

All I can say is … it’s about time. I’m not going to sit here and say that Hood is some great, diamond-in-the-rough player who is going to solve all our problems, but it has been evident that we need some depth at the corner position. Hood might need some time to get acquainted with the system, but I would expect to see him on the field very soon. We couldn’t keep going with just the corners on our current roster, so I commend the front office for going out and making a move. I don’t know what affect this will have on the much-maligned Justin King, but let’s hope this is the first step in phasing him out of the defense. Speaking of King, a listener of 101 ESPN radio in St. Louis had the line of the week on Tuesday during the “I’m just saying …” segment of “The Fast Lane.” For those of you who don’t know, “I’m just saying …” is a game in which the hosts and listeners make statements about whatever they want, with the preface of “I’m just saying” allowing you to say anything radio-friendly without anyone passing judgement. If this offends anyone I apologize, but I’m just repeating what was said on the radio: “I’m just saying … Justin King has been getting beaten so bad this season he should change his name to Rodney King.”
