What are the odds Clausen would remain off the PUP list behind our present line?

Only if we got Vick to go along with Pig-Ben. Then we would have a dog and dog-killer at QB.

I just said this in another studid "lets sign a rapist" thread. Maybe we should also trade for Vick as well to fill in during the Pig-Ben supension. Russ can then do some great marketing with a "bring a co-ed or your dog to the stadium day."

Okay, say you're "OK" with a guy who has a propensity of getting away with rape or near rape situations (I'm not!) The Steelers would let him try to rehab his name and rep if they thought he was capable. I suspect this guy, in his heart, thinks what he did is okay and what's the fuss. He's one strike away from being gone. Is that the guy to build the team around? Now for the rest of us who have stronger opinions, I don't want a rapist as my QB.

Umm, He's older Got a little left But unless you think you're a Super Bowl contender, why let him have a spot a young player needs to develop for the future. Okay signing for the Jets, but it would have been a bad signing for the Bills.

For every Brian Urlacher there's a Brian Bosworth.

Yup, and I'm chasing that damn cupcake big time right now!

I could reverse those lists name for name and it would be just as credible. That said, I don't think Bradford will be a bust but agree with the rest of your list.

Really? Think of a 340 pound 6'3" guy squatting down close to the ground and firing into two 300 pound-plus OL and have the power and stamina to drive them backwards and keep them occupied so your LB's can make plays. Now do that 800 plus times a season. These guys are special and rare. Someone on this thread said a NT is the LT of the defense....he's dead right.

Rd 1: NT (trade down) Rd 2a: OT Rd 2b: LB or QB Rd 3: QB or best player standing

Terrible! A first, third and Lynch? Are you kidding me? Bradford's fragile and won't last a half a season behind our line. This is the year to draft big bodies and mean ass linemen.

Easy to say but it takes two to deal. What Buddy seems to be doing is preparing for whatever scenario comes up and one of those is likely having to pick at 9. All things equal, I'd like to trade down as well.

We've seen worse on TSW from some with thousands of posts....not often but it happens.

If Buddy grabs Tebow at #9, if we trust what he has been saying, he thinks the guy can play from day one and start. I don't get the feeling that's the case. I'm beginning to believe he'll go defense first and/or trade down from #9. We need a NT and if he rates Dan Williams that highly, he'll have a two-fer. Grab the NT we need and keep him away from Miami.

Yup, at the end of the day, you can beat up the girl and blame her, and she has some liability. But she's 20 and intoxicated. He's a G'damn pro bowl QB who is prowling like a predator for such a victim. Disgusting. And for those who say if that were their daughter they would blame her as well...Really? What the Hell is wrong with you?

Agreed. If we can't stop the run we don't have to worry about rushing the passer - and we cannot stop the run.

If the NFL is a passing league, explain the NY Jets? They couldn't pass, everyone knew they were going to run the ball adn they still imposed their will and did so. In the NFL, you have to run and stop the run. We cannot stop the run or get off the field on third down. We need a wide body NT as well as a pass rusher. As it stands now, Maybin may be able to rush standing up but we have nobody to plug the middle and stop the run. If there is an elite rusher at #9, so be it, but it cannot come at the expense of starting the year in a new 3-4 with no real NT.

Umm, last I checked that albeit crap line still produced a 1,000 yard rusher. Those rooks also played with a different cast of charactors every week. Our interior line will be solid for years to come. Give credit where it's due - those were good picks.

Reverse picks 1 & 2 and you may be right. Although Brown wouldn't be my choice at LT.

Stick with it Push! You're right on target with every post on this thread! This last entry is dead on. We should have been playing our young receivers last year and not TO and Reed. Buddy's got a plan and he's got the stones to see it through.

Oops. sorry. I meant Williams. Got my noses out of joint.

What about punt catcher?

Wow! Thanks! Now I see clearly after your brilliant breakdown of Claussen's talents. I'm with you now..the guy's a bum!

Jesus man, how did you manage to type all this with your constant handwringing? Lighten the eff up. We're going to be fine.
