The Jokeman Posted February 2, 2006 Posted February 2, 2006 Maybe they were dropped, but did you read the part about him having $3,200 in his wallet? He actually sounds like more of a dealer than a user, no? 592019[/snapback] Yeah too bad because if he was a user he'd give new meaning to Levy's "high character guy" model.
tennesseeboy Posted February 2, 2006 Posted February 2, 2006 Keep Sam, get Ngata and work on the offensive line with free agents and cap money. I heard Phil Simms on Imus this morning and he said essentially that Pittsburgh and Seattle had two of the best offensive lines in the NFL and the teams that get to the Superbowl generally have that one fact in common. A very good offensive line. Adams is fine, Ngata fills the gap and let's work on what will get us where we want to go...the offensive line.

Fan in San Diego Posted February 2, 2006 Posted February 2, 2006 Sam Adams is a stud. We need to keep him. He was frustrated with MM and TD last year. Watch for him to have a big year with Jauron this year !
BB2004 Posted February 2, 2006 Posted February 2, 2006 Adams with Ted Washington worked well enuf to be #2 in the NFL. I'd say keep Adams around, get Pickett or Washington, then draft Gabe Watson (Michigan) in RD#2. Keep Edwards for pass rush. Welcome to the Wall! Astro 591802[/snapback] Absolutley agree, that is if we can get Ted Washington. Hopefully we can, then draft Gabe Watson possibly in the second round, and let him settle into the position so next year he can start.

But who do you go after in the first then? I don't see a better value at the #8 slot than Ngata.
ganesh Posted February 2, 2006 Posted February 2, 2006 I'm completely fine with that plan, too. But who do you go after in the first then? I don't see a better value at the #8 slot than Ngata. 592206[/snapback] What is the status of TW....Can he withstand a 16 game season....at a high level? I am not sure.....He is 38 or 39......Even if he is picked, it will be a stop gap... You will need a Ngata for the long term.....

And he supposedly said recently to some news organization that he'd like to play for DJ again.
Rico Posted February 2, 2006 Posted February 2, 2006 I'm also concerned about Adams.. he didn't impress me last year at all. Maybe he bounces back with the new regime, maybe he stays healthy, or maybe he hits the proverbial wall even harder. I have no problem with bringing him back, but Marv better have another option (not named Bannan ) ready in case Sam tanks.

Oakland was ranked 5 spots above us "against the Run" and finished 26th in the NFL....Considering that Washington played one of the Tackle position, he just might be done in the NFL.....14 years in the NFL can take its toll....

Fixxxer Posted February 2, 2006 Posted February 2, 2006 I keepabout sam not being quick. That is certainly not true, as he gets into the backfield really fast, but he doesn't make the plays because he is too fat and not agile and he is a randy moss type player. PHat Pat gave his all to the billsand the son of satan got rid of him. another TD phunkup there 591880[/snapback] Sam is quick and is great guessing the snap count, having said that he´s undiciplined and it seems it´s all about himself first and the team second. Once he didn´t have the guy making things happen for him (Big Pat) he wasn´t as effective as he was in 2005. I´m all for keeping him if a) the DC keeps him in check in terms of the defensive system, and b) if we get a Ngata type of player, hence a guy that can occupy two OLs for him to roam free getting to the QB.
