Singleton is a steady and consistent professional OLB who plays the run well; don't remember how he did in pass coverage but assume he was at least adequate. But don't remember that he had a pass rush, which is why Parcells moved Ellis over to Singleton's former spot. Suspect Singleton would be better then Glymph but is he better the Carpenter? Glymph started TC well but seems like his abilities decreased as time went by but since I only able to hear Cowboys games on internet I could be way off in my assessment of both Glymph & Singleton's value to the team. Frankly I thought Saldi played really well against the Vikes and hope he makes our PS.

Not to say that Singleton has been signed by another team already, but the last thing on KFFL.com doesn't say that he has:
Buccaneers | Singleton works out for team
Thu, 23 Aug 2007 13:40:46 -0700
Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Jon Gruden said unrestricted free-agent LB Al Singleton (Cowboys) worked out for the team Thursday, Aug. 23.

Here's the last news tidbit on Singleton on www.tampabaybuccaneers.com:
Trotter, Singleton Visit
Stressing that the team is always keeping an eye on players who could make their roster better, Gruden confirmed on Thursday that the team had held workouts for free agent linebackers Jeremiah Trotter and Al Singleton.
Trotter, a four-time Pro Bowler at middle linebacker, has played nine seasons in the league, including seven (1998-01, 2004-06) with the Philadelphia Eagles. Though he is coming off his fourth Pro Bowl campaign in 2006, he was released by the Eagles on Wednesday.
Singleton is a free agent after playing the last four seasons with the Dallas Cowboys. A starter on the Buccaneers’ 2002 Super Bowl team, he first entered the NFL as Tampa Bay’s fourth-round pick in 1997.
The Buccaneers recently lost two linebackers, second-year man Antoine Cash and rookie Sam Olajubutu, to the injured reserve list.
“We have some injuries and we want to get better,” said Gruden. “We want to win, we want to get better and if there are players out there who can help us do that, we’ll do that.”
Could Trotter or Singleton help the Buccaneers?
“I don’t know, that’s why we’re working them out,” said Gruden. “I can’t comment on anything other than we’re going to work them out and see for ourselves. Obviously they’ve had a long history in the NFL and an impressive one at that. But I don’t want to speculate. We’re just going to go to work here and see how they’re doing.”

Ware should not be in coverage 1 time this year.
Send them both and have Bobby or Kevin cover Shockey, both are athletic and fast enough to do so.
It would be nice if Roy could cover him...hopefully he can this year
