  1. Leftwich a bust? The guy is tough as nails. He shouldn't have been out there, which doesn't fall on him but on his coach.

     

    Leftwich stands in there and makes tough throws. He takes hits to make plays and sacrifices his body for the good of his team. Maybe if they had an actual offense outside the injury prone Taylor and the aging Jimmy Smith, he'd light it up.

     

    Their line also is not that good either.

    leftwich is just a poor man's bledsoe

     

    drew has done MUCH more with a decent bills O in 02 and did more this year in dallas than leftwich can.

     

    how tough he is is secondary to how well he can play, he is a quarterback not a tackling dummy.

     

    he stands still in the pocket, makes slow reads, and needs a guy pretty open before he can anything done.

     

    poor man's drew

  2. Let's see if Del Rio has any brains and puts Garrard in there.

    damn right

     

    garrard should have started the whole time

     

    leftwich is hurt and just useless, madden said he looked bad in warm ups, so he was just never ready to play, but moron del rio puts him in.

     

    it makes me sick that so many coaches just forget everything they know when they play the pats.

     

    the jags have always had a solid team but a pretty crappy O, and gerrard made them better (not a ton better).

     

    leftwich is a bust frankly, he is a guy EVERYONE just said is good or a warrior or whatever, but just can't get his team to score points, and they have a good line!!

     

    frankly JP on the jags would be better than leftwich.

     

    i bet they make him the starter and watch him suck next year too.

  3. Cutting Mike Williams is going to be a lock.  He's fat, he's lazy, he's constantly injured, and he saves us 4.9 million bucks if we release him.  We could get THREE players who play at MW's level for that money.

    hmm

     

    i think a cut and re sign or a renegotiation of his contract and keeping him at RT is likely

     

    i think we take in some young O linemen and have peters/Gandy at LT and bring in hutch/le'charles.

     

    the main thing for me is that we can get better value with a top DL in the 1st and solid OL in the 2nd and 3rd than the other way around

  4. I'm not sure why TD should get any criticism whatsoever for Jonas Jennings. He did absolutely the right thing in that situation and let Jennings go. JJ signs a 36 million deal, and TD replaced him for about 3 million with a guy who played 16 games (to Jennings' 3!) and was our most consistent lineman. While Gandy is not great, LT was literally the least of our problems on the OL. And more than likely will get better, especially if moved to guard.

     

    TD failed to get quality offensive linemen that could stay healthy and work together into a cohesive unit. But much of the criticism of him about the lines is way off base. He didn't ignore the lines whatsoever. He spent high picks, mid picks and low picks on them. Signed numerous FAs. He got extremely unlucky due to injuries every year, and he had some bad judgments on talent which came back to haunt him. But he didn't ignore it or not see the importance of it.

    when given the choice he always went for upgrades at RB and QB, WR over lines inspite of having spent recent picks

     

    (Drew was a pick, then he signs JP, travis was a pick, then he gets willis, moulds was a big FA contract and he got reed, evans, AND roscoe)

     

    he let JJ and pat walk without a real replacement for either, he was unlucky with mike will's injury but WAS luck in JJs injury (luck to not have kept him before he got hurt, if he played in 16 games and was one of the better LTs in the NFC we'd be fuming)

  5. Moreso than your arrogance?  Ya think you could have toned this down a bit?

    tcali is the smartest man alive.

     

    he is the only one who is smart enough to know that aaron schobel is garbage and that all of his sacks come against garbage teams in garbage time, even tho he tore it up on the road against NE and cincy.

     

    if he were a soldier he would be the only one in step on parade

  6. He will be if and when he announces he's entering the draft....alot of juniors will be coming out this year because of the new cba in 2007..........he did win the butkis award and espn draft has him lasting until late first round to N.E.{replacement for teddy?} Joe pa said he's better than conlan was and jack ham said he's the best lb ever at penn st........it's all speculation of course on my part.......we need immediate impact starter from that pick thats all I'm saying and OL just don't offer that sort of garuantee.........just looking for something to talk about  other than bitching about the oldman and his buddy.........  :D

    i dunno, i think he is a good player without the tools to be a top guy at the next level.

     

    don't think he is worth a 1st.

     

    hawk and that kid from bama are leaps and bounds ahead of this guy IMO.

     

    i could see a kid like him take over for london in our D with the athletes we have at LB.

  7. i'd take brick or super mario from NC state at 8th.

     

    the cost of picks goes down very quickly, top 4 or 5 are pro bowl type contracts, after that they fall off to the point where at about 15 or so they are cheaper than a typical starter.

     

    8th can very well be a sweet spot to get a guy with the skills to go high and not pay too much.

     

    i'd bet lenard davis or mike williams would be 10-15 picks in this years draft, and they were both signed to huge top pick contracts, we might get a real star at number 8

  8. solid thread right here

     

    i disagree with notion of the good old days and character.

     

    previous NFL teams might not have had as many single players acting silly and getting so much attention (like TO etc.) but they had TONS of dirty players who intentionaly made dirty play after dirty play trying to hurt people (rominowski types) and back when integration was new there was some not exactly racially sensitive stuff in a large number of teams.

     

    anyhow, i think you CAN make a dig at TD about our lines.

     

    while he did put picks and FA money into both lines, he also put picks and cash into QB, WR, and RB. when he felt he could upgrade those positions, he put more picks into them.

     

    when some of his line moves didn't workout he just let them sit.

     

    two of his moves that did work out (sam and Jonas) he let crumble by letting pat will walk and jonas walk too (without a good replacement).

     

    the bottom line is he did make some attempts, but erred on the side of skill players over big men, and that is why we suck

  9. if krumrie has the SLIGHTEST thing to do with our selects of anderson and banaan, and letting pat and ted washington go (was he here when that happened), and over looking all the DTs that have come through here for FA and drafting then he can go

  10. hmmm

     

    i'd say who we take if ngata and mario are on the board might come down to FA. if we have solved he DT situation in FA, Mario is great, if we have grabbed a good DE in FA (abraham is gonna be out there) then ngata would be the best guy for us (or whatever DT/OT looks to be the best).

     

    one thing i expect is ryans and hawk going in the top 6 or 7, and williams in the top 10 for sure.

     

    i also think a couple corners will work their way into the top 20.

     

    we might be able to trade down if someone is nuts over mario, if it nets us a couple more shots at good OT and DT, i'd take it

  11. He blocked really well yesterday too.  MM is a frigging bonehead.  Our next coach better be using Willis, Willis and more Willis (especially in situations when you're playing a team that's TWENTY-EIGHTH AGAINST THE RUN and your star journeyman QB has thrown  FOUR INTERCEPTIONS).  :unsure: Kid can catch, and his catches will make room for his runs.

     

    Time to can these idiots who don't know jack about offense, much less "smash-mouth football."

    holy crap dude, that was nuttin but da troof

  12. His cap figure ( 10.8 Mil ) could pay for 2-3 OL.

     

    He can return at a lesser figure but will initially be cut.

    548690[/snapback]

     

    about half of his cap figure is spent money, it will count against our cap weather or not we cut him.

     

    the remainder of about 5-6 bucks is what we are working with. we might be able to blend and extend him, or we might just cut him and resign him.

     

    i'd like us to cut and re sign moulds as well as mike williams

  13. i think there are some good prospects at OT and DT this year, we need at least 1 and more like 2 of each.

     

    i say we should pick based on who is available, but in the first and 2nd rounds there should be at least one solid guy at each of those positions when we are on the board, don't want to trade up unless we are getting a super player and it doesn't cost us a shot at a DT/LT this year.

     

    could be a pretty exciting weekend in April
