  1. Actually, the Jets have Fabini at LT so that's exactly who Jennings would be matched up against. Do the Jets have a team policy whereby every starter on the offensive and defensive line must make at least $5m per year?
  2. I believe Indianapolis is one of the 5 teams.
  3. Doesn't Fabini play LT for the Jets and didn't they just sign him to a huge deal? So now the Jets are overpaying a guy in LT-money-terms to play RT?? Doesn't add up.
  4. No one is offering a 2nd rounder for Shelton according to various reports. If TD wants Shelton, he will get him for a 3rd rounder, provided Henry is not involved. This also makes you believe Shelton is not the answer at LT and that Big Mike is probably moving over there if we get Shelton.
  5. You are pannicking. TD never puts all his eggs in one basket. Wait to see what happens. Let Arizona get a 3rd rounder for Shelton and have them spend their top 10 pick on a RB who better pan out if you are shelling out that kind of money. The only RB this year worth that kind of money is Benson and he will be gone by then. The Auburn guys have nice physical numbers but have never carried a full workload in college much less the NFL. I would never take a RB in the top 10 that you have to project how they are going to carry a full workload.
  6. If the Jets sign Pat Williams, that will be an obsene amount of money tied up in the 4 starters on their d-line. Each one will be making at least $5m per year. Throw in Jonas, Pennington, Moss, Fabini. Why and how are the Jets going to over-pay for Jonas and Williams?
  7. Throw in nothing. Henry is a better player than Shelton. Henry lost his job to potentially a top 5 RB. Shelton was benched on a horrible team. You know what you are getting with Travis. Shelton is a crap shoot. The only thing that makes the trade close to even is Shelton plays tackle and has a favorable contract to the team he is traded too
  8. Chaney is getting off easy because the coach at St. Joe's and the A-10 commissioner are cowards. If someone did that to one of my players, I would call for his resignation immediately or never play his team again. Same goes for the commissioner of that conference. They are afraid of Chaney.
  9. That's right. Everyone at OBD wanted to smear Bledsoe and screw him over so much that they released him a week before they had to and let him get a head start on where to land.
  10. Here's what SD should do: tell Brees they'll sign him to a long term deal but he ain't getting a signing bonus since the reason they took Rivers is that Brees sucked for 3 years. Trade Rivers and eat the cap hit, and everyone's happy.
  11. Fair enough about the shoulder injury thing and not being able to work out. But he still would have been the #1 pick. I think the guy has all the tools as well, but going to a supplemental draft now when your OC leaves seems awfully wierd.
  12. I wouldn't want a guy who changes his mind because his offensive coordinator leaves. When you are the #1 pick and you go back to school, that is enough of a head scratcher unto itself. Throw this one on top of that, and Leinart is either flaky or scared of something.
  13. San Diego is crazy if they trade Brees. It has taken them 20 years to find a good QB and they find one who happens to be 26 years old and they trade him? Who the heck knows how Rivers is going to turn out. If anything, trade Rivers for a 1st rounder and eat the cap space (which they have plenty of). If they aren't enamored with their 3 first round picks, trade one or two of them for Orlando Pace or somebody else to fit their fancy.
  14. No one is giving Drew a starting job without a high-caliber young QB waiting in the wings. Cleveland is the only AFC team I can think of but you gotta think they will go QB in the 1st round. They are miles away from contending so I can't see why they wouldn't take their lumps getting the rookie ready. There's Chicago and Dallas in the NFC. Testaverde is better than Drew and I can't imagine they would trade one re-tread for another and waste another year at the position. Chicago might work for Drew if they are writing Grossman off. But I would rather find out what I have in Grossman once and for all then waste time with Bledsoe on the field. There's Arizona but I don't think Green is lying that he's not interested. Maybe San Francisco. The owner is cheap and Drew might put some people in the stands, but if they go QB in round 1, see Cleveland above.
  15. There really is not much to lose and much to gain replacing Drew with Losman. It is obvious we were never going to win a championship with Bledsoe. Groundhog's day had to end. And what is with all the 'we better make the playoffs'-crap? That is just a loser mediocre attitude. That's all people want to do? What more evidence do people need we will never sniff the Patriots in our division or any of the other elite teams in the AFC with Bledsoe at QB?
  16. Willis made something out of nothing the whole year. That is why he unseated Travis in the first place. Whether it was the passing game not getting respect, the O-line not opening holes, or Bledsoe's lack of mobility allowing teams teams to not have to account for that, it certainly wasn't Willis not finding the holes.
  17. The guy might not be a top 10 LT, but it's looking like we have to re-sign Jennings. We can't have a below average LT out there with a rookie QB. With Pace and Jones off the table, who out there is better than Jennings? If Jennings is looking to break the bank, it might be smart to franchise him and either pay him the one year franchise # or get a #2 or #3 from a team in a sign and trade. To lose him and get nothing in return when he is probably the best LT out there would be doubly devastating.
  18. Smerlas and Haslett used to have their own show on WBEN in the early to mid 80's the day after the game where they used to take call-ins. It provided for some of the most comical radio ever. Annoyed fans would call in and rip apart the team for being 2-14 and Smerlas and Haslett would get all defensive and threaten to find out where the caller lived and inflict bodily harm.
  19. Couch short-arms the ball and will continue to have arm problems even after surgery unless he completely changes his throwing mechanics. I'd prefer Fiedler over Warner because he seems like more of a team guy and is less wacky.
  20. Listen, I hate Brady as much as any Bills-loving fan, but these posts are ridiculous. Bellichek was simply an above average coach before Brady took over. He makes that team what it is. All the big throws he makes takes the pressure off of every other aspect of their team. To compare him to Trent Green is laughable. That team was awful in 2001 before Brady took over. To say that he didn't desrve the MVP in last year's Super Bowl is ignorant. Monatana only had the greatest WR to ever live playing with him. And Elway couldn't win any big game before Terrell Davis. People here are just letting their disdain for Brady cloud their judgement.
  21. I actually think he is top 2 with Montana. Elway had the best physical tools of any QB ever, but he didn't perform consistently in the big games like Montana and Brady. Brady is simply a machine - it is unbelievable how many big throws he makes.
  22. It was a great play call. I also love seeing Cowher getting his butt kicked. He wouldn't even acknowledge that New England flat-out handed it to them all game. Cowher is of the same ilk as Schottenheimer, just a tad better. I could see Cowher taking some time off after this one. His ego might not rebound for awhile.
  23. I hope he has a bad thumb, because his throws have no zip. That pass to the sideline that Harrison picked took about 4 seconds to get there. Losman has much better physiacl tools from what I can tell - better arm and way more speed and quickness.
  24. Didn't see much of Indy this year, but when I did, he consistently got bad penalties and dropped passes. He was the worst TE/WR they had on the field.
  25. Travis Henry is not a Dennis Green-type back. Green goes for the more explosive play-makers at the skill positions. I don't see Green giving up a 2nd rounder for Travis.
