Buftex Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 Its official, according to GR55 Eagles get Spikes and Holcomb Bills get Darwin Walker and a conditional pick.....
cåblelady Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 Then why have this message board. It's deep. Put your boots on.
obie_wan Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 I'm thinking we may try to get back into the 1st round. we'll have extra draft picks from this trade as well as the trade with mcgahee. They'll need extra picks to move up for Willis. They need to get by SF.
Kelly the Dog Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 Its official, according to GR55 Eagles get Spikes and Holcomb Bills get Darwin Walker and a conditional pick..... The pick is obviously in the 2008 draft, but I am somewhat happy with the acquisition of Darwin.
Kelly the Dog Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 It seems to me that cutting Holcomb, based on clump's page, wouldn't net us any gain. His cap hit is about equal to his salary. So if we unload him and Spikes onto Philly, I guess that's progress. Then again, it all comes down to what we get in return. If Holcomb is cut, we suffer a 2.185 in dead cap this season. It's almost good enough to get a 5th and 6th for both of them and let go the salary. If we get a player who can step in, all the more better. Actually I think we save about 750K on the cap, and about 1.75 mil in cash, and maybe more.
obie_wan Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 Actually I think we save about 750K on the cap, and about 2 mil overall in cash. maybe they want David Carr.
KC from Cali Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 Walker is quick, active and experienced. He is somewhat versatile. He has played three-technique and nose tackle. He is at his best using his first-step quickness and hitting gaps. He reads quickly and gets good jumps on plays. He is tough to block when slanted into gaps. He can get sideways, make himself skinny and give linemen little surface to block. He can play laterally and has the quickness to get down the line and make plays. He uses his hands well to keep blockers off his lower body. He is a solid wrap-up tackler who strikes with force. But Walker is aging and coming off an injury-plagued 2005. He isn't a power player. He isn't physical at the point of attack and doesn't split double-team blocks effectively. He won't stack, shed and make tackles in the hole. He has lost some pass-rushing ability. He no longer gets on the edges quickly. He doesn't counter effectively when he gets tied up.
The Dean Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 If this is true, this is terrific, IMO. I know, Marv sucks and this is a terrible move.
