B-lo Snow Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 if nothing else, at 6'7", at least we signed the tallest available free agent DE
JoeF Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 While everyone is entitled to their opinion...The Jets game that I attended in person last year..Denny had 2 sacks where he fought through double teams..the guy has some talents and has developed! He is a fine rotational DE...a high character guy...Welcome back Ryan.
nonprophet Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 Denney intrigues me. I kept getting the feeling that he was going to be one of those guys that got to start someplace else and haVE a really good year, then we would all be kicking ourselves. I am glad to have "The Stormin' Mormon" back! 640348[/snapback] I'm disappointed that the Steelers apparently showed no interest in him, though, as they supposedly wanted to draft him. As far as I know, their defensive line is intact so that may have something to do with it.
Chilly Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 I am happy as well, but have no illusions that while he is a helpful contributor to the team, he is a player who can fill in the right spot at the right cost but he is not a player to build around. The bottomline is while I am happy he is here it needs to be at the right cost. I'm not certain what that exact amount is under the new salary cap amount, but even though signed a year later under the new cap his contract amount should be no where near what we paid to resign fellow DE Schobwl who not only gets more sacks, but covered better in the zone blitz, was comparable as a run stopper but does not have the motor Schobel has. 640270[/snapback] Damn, all this time I thought he was the second coming of reggie white.
Bob in STL Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 While everyone is entitled to their opinion...The Jets game that I attended in person last year..Denny had 2 sacks where he fought through double teams..the guy has some talents and has developed! He is a fine rotational DE...a high character guy...Welcome back Ryan. 640420[/snapback] I concur. Denny has developed into a solid player and can fit into the rotation. We were looking at Jared Devries and I wondered about Denny. Denny has accomplished more than Devries. Good move. We still need a run stuffer (Ngata/ Bunkley) and another DE.
Dibs Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 Good move. We still need a run stuffer (Ngata/ Bunkley) and another DE. 640461[/snapback] How many decent DEs do we need???
stevewin Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 ...a high character guy... 640420[/snapback] and high motor!!!!
JoeF Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 and high motor!!!! 640626[/snapback] Dare I say a "Fine Young Man"
Bob in STL Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 How many decent DEs do we need??? 640567[/snapback] As many as we can get. We have Shoebel, after that the pickin's are slim.
Dibs Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 As many as we can get. We have Shoebel, after that the pickin's are slim. 640662[/snapback] What about Kelsay?
Bob in STL Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 What about Kelsay? 640686[/snapback] Yes, we have Schoebel and Kelsey and now Denney. I believe we need to add another DE. Three o the roster is thin and Jauron like to plays waves of linemen. What point are you trying to make?
Gambler Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 per ESPN bottomline. Probably a result of Chicago matching the offer sheet, but I'm happy to have Denney back. 640254[/snapback] He is an upgrade over the guy the had there last year. Good news.
Dibs Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 Yes, we have Schoebel and Kelsey and now Denney. I believe we need to add another DE. Three o the roster is thin and Jauron like to plays waves of linemen. What point are you trying to make? 640821[/snapback] With 3 solid DEs on the roster I would think we would be looking for help at most other possitions first...though point well taken in that another quality DE would certainly help.
Bill from NYC Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 While everyone is entitled to their opinion...The Jets game that I attended in person last year..Denny had 2 sacks where he fought through double teams..the guy has some talents and has developed! He is a fine rotational DE...a high character guy...Welcome back Ryan. 640420[/snapback] I agree, and I am thrilled to have him back. I am thinking that Denney is as good a backup DE that does exist. At his age, he is entering his prime as well. DEs that can play at all are VERY hard to get. It's all good.
Mark Vader Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 Yes, we have Schoebel and Kelsey and now Denney. I believe we need to add another DE. Three o the roster is thin and Jauron like to plays waves of linemen. What point are you trying to make? 640821[/snapback] Make that 4 DE's. We signed Mark Word during the offseason too.
Bob in STL Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 Make that 4 DE's. We signed Mark Word during the offseason too. 640887[/snapback] Oh yes, Wood. He is a special project, hasn't played in a few years. We will probably draft a DE in the later rounds or get more bodies as RFA's. DT is the area that need much work (as does the OL).
Sisyphean Bills Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 Where's the guy that was bragging about Denney playing cornerback? Too busy creaming his shorts?
buffalo mike2 Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 I'm disappointed that the Steelers apparently showed no interest in him, though, as they supposedly wanted to draft him. As far as I know, their defensive line is intact so that may have something to do with it. 640427[/snapback] That's the missing puzzle that the Superbowl champs need........
nick in* england Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 Great news. I like Ryan Denney. That's our 3 DEs sorted then. A few more for Camp fodder and we'll be all set.
