4everBills Posted August 30, 2004 Posted August 30, 2004 He'll sign for a low ball contract with us and add insurance if Schobel leaves and a solid opposite starter now. We may also sign Doug Johnson
Thurman's Helmet Posted August 30, 2004 Posted August 30, 2004 Would the salad fork stuck in his back be included in that acquisition?

We may also sign Doug Johnson 11767[/snapback] Did he get cut or something? I don't see them giving up on Kelsay/Denney...just my opinion though.
4everBills Posted August 30, 2004 Author Posted August 30, 2004 seriously, I think it would be a great move! Why not, if he WAS in a funk, he aint worth much coin right now and can come back big as our starter opposite Schobel! Watched alot of Jags camp coverage, seems to be a loud mouth though, dont know if that fits in our team. Neither Kelsay or Denney is ready to start, Gildon is a bust. Makes sense to me as he would be our best option on this squad.

nodnarb Posted August 30, 2004 Posted August 30, 2004 i bet it won't happen. i bet the cards want him. i even doubt the bills would want him. he's not exactly 'high effort'. takes plays off all the time, and generally doesn't care. if he was valuable, why would the eagles have let him go, and why would the jags have cut him when they have NO ONE at DE? the cards will overpay and get him.

We may also sign Doug Johnson 11767[/snapback] I think you're wrong on Douglas, but Johnson could definitely wind up here. I'd rather have a Shane Matthews. but think DJ would be a big improvement over Travis Brown.
buffaloboyinATL Posted August 30, 2004 Posted August 30, 2004 I say we get them both if the price is right.
LabattBlue Posted August 30, 2004 Posted August 30, 2004 why would the eagles have let him go, and why would the jags have cut him when they have NO ONE at DE? the cards will overpay and get him. 11788[/snapback] good point nodnarb. 4everwhoeverwhatever, do you have a rebuttal???
4everBills Posted August 30, 2004 Author Posted August 30, 2004 But he's still on Jax...you want to trade for him? 11785[/snapback] You already know these answers, your dislike of the idea is clear. Douglas was double digits in sacks the 4 of the past 5 years. Eagles would have had to pay HUGE money for Hugh a.l.a. the Jags and didnt want to pay it. They let him go because it isnt as easy as you and many others make it. The guys a star (at least at that point), so he MUST be kept at any cost. Eagles were penny pinchers and didnt pay him. Yes, he had an off season last year. Thats why he could be a bigtime bargain if he regains his form. If he had gone for another 10+ sacks, the Jags would have kept him and we wouldnt b e talking about this. Facts is, hes out there, we need a solid player opposite Schobel now, and maybe another starter at DE if Schobel isnt re-signed. Adding Douglas is an obvious upgrade to either Kelsay or Denney now. If Schobel leaves, Douglas is one starter and Kelsay or Denney is our other. I wouldnt go here if we could count on Gildon/Denney/ oro Kelsay. We cant and theres a guy whos one season removed from double digit sacks and can be had for low ball money probably. Sounds like a good logical move. If you dont like it, fine. But its not totally stupid, there is clear sense to the move.
nobody Posted August 30, 2004 Posted August 30, 2004 If they can get him for the vet minimum then he just might be worth bringing in to see if he can be useful still.
Thurman's Helmet Posted August 30, 2004 Posted August 30, 2004 If Jason Gildon is washed up, then Hugh Douglas' rotting corpse has been decaying on the beach for quite some time now.
renfruzetz Posted August 30, 2004 Posted August 30, 2004 Even though he'd be a decent fit, he won't come here. TD won't overpay and MM won't guarantee him a starting job.
Lori Posted August 30, 2004 Posted August 30, 2004 If Jason Gildon is washed up, then Hugh Douglas' rotting corpse has been decaying on the beach for quite some time now. 11953[/snapback] Nice take... even for a Pats fan.... I'm looking at what the Jags have left on the roster at DE. Not impressed. So if they think they can't get anything more out of Douglas (or Brackens, for that matter), why would any other team be able to?
