...could compare recent signings w/ who they've replaced.
I get bored, and my connection is slow. Thanks

Jake Plummer Age:28
NFL Experience: 7
last years stats: 284 comp out of 530 attempts comp %53.6
2972 yards, 5.6 yards per attempt
18TD, 20INT QB rating 65.7

Jeff Blake Age:32
NFL Experience: 12
Last years stats: 165 comp out of 295 attempts comp %55.9
2084 yards, 7.1 yards per attempt
13TD, 11INT, QB rating 77.3

Not a serious upgrade as I have discussed before, has advantages and disadvantages compared to jake, better arm strength and accuracy, less mobile and injury concerns.

Kwamie Lassiter Age: 33
NFL Experience: 9
Last years stats: 2 INT for 7 yards returned.
88 tackles, 63 solo. 2 for a loss
1 forced fumble & 9 passes defended

Dexter Jackson Age:25
NFL Experience: 4
Last years stats: 3 INT for 101 yards returned(does not include playoff stats)
71 tackles, 57 solo, 3 for a loss
6 passes defended

Upgrade in my mind due to age, Lassiter is still a good safety but on his last year or two probably, where Jackson is just starting to come into his own and should be starting his prime.

Joel Macavicka Age:27
NFL Experience: 4
Last years stats: 5 carries for 54 yards
15 receptions for 81 yards & 3TDs

James Hodgins Age:25
NFL Experience: 4
Last years stats: 3 carries for 7 yards
9 receptions for 47 yards

Stats don't tell the story here. This is a big upgrade in my mind. Hodgins is a HUGE blocker both running and passing, and I think is a major upgrade.

On a position loss/replace that is it, we also picked up some good depth in Frank Garcia, James Darling, Cameron Spikes.

We also of course added Emmitt Smith which while in my mind not really an upgrade over Marcel Shipp, will obviously provide vetern leadership, a role model for Shipp, and between him and Shipp our running game should look pretty damn good.
