The changes continue
Yesterday, Storm coach Tim Marcum said the team would make "several roster moves" in an effort to cure a group that is ailing right now after having lost five straight games. He wasn't kidding.
Here's what has happened thus far:
-DB Khalid Naziruddin has been waived.
-DB Bryant Tisdale has been waived (from the practice squad).
-The Storm has traded OL Jonathan Dunn, a member of the team's "other league exempt list," for LB Phil Glover of San Jose.
More moves are expected today. Marcum hinted Monday the Storm might be signing a new DB, likely one who can matchup a little better against the league's taller receivers. Also, at long last dynamic kick returner Sedrick Robinson will be back this week from injury, the coach said. When Robinson was healthy early in the season, the Storm's return game was sharp. Without him, it has been shaky at best.
what will the arrival of Glover mean for the Storm's current LBs? And will anybody else be waived? We'll know the answer in about two hours.
"Right now, defense is where we need help," Marcum said. "We're not making plays. It's pretty simple."

Pretty much the whole secondary needs to be cut. I'm sure at this point Ahmad "The Batman" Carroll would be better then anyone there.
