H2o Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 http://www.profootballtalk.com/2009/02/26/...he-gibril-deal/ They beat us twice last season, went from worst to first, snatched Cam Wake from our clutches, re-signed Channing Crowder, have now signed Gibril Wilson, and have to be considered as the front runner for Lavernaus Coles. They just keep making really good moves. This all really makes me feel like we have a sub-par organization at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People hate on Poz here, but Crowder has put up the same #s throughout his career. He's not a playmaker. And we all know how deadly that Pennington-Coles combo was during the Jets 4-12 season. And you're really crying about a former CFLer? Get a grip man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Good, Gibril Wilson sucks. I guess this means they aren't making an effort at resigning Yeremiah Bell? He's a lot better than Wilson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you're really crying about a former CFLer? Get a grip man. And they were AFC East division champs last year while we were 7-9, again, versus basically the exact same competition. Oh yeah, and they beat us twice. There were many people on this board talking about signing Crowder, Wilson is a GOOD S, and Cam Wake would've gotten more sacks than anyone on our team last year if he was playing for us instead of in the CFL. I'm just stating the case of an organization that is CLEARY IMPROVING versus one that's just kind of floating in space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About Wilson, I can't comment, because I don't follow the Raiders, I heard a couple of great things about him, but being a FA tend to do that. Every player is great. About Crowder, I can't remember a single play he made against us. Positive or negative. He's must be a steady, solid player, but hardly spectacular.

And you're really crying about a former CFLer? Get a grip man. Exactly. A lot of people around here get on their knees after every move Bill Parcells makes. To these people: Did you watch Gibril Wilson play at all last season? He is a very average at best safety in this league. He has terrible ball skills IMO, and missed a ton of tackles in games that I watched last year, which was supposed to be his strength. If you're not good enough to play safety for Oakland, amidst Michael Huff being a bust, then something is obviously very wrong with your game. And you are right on with Crowder, Biscuit. I sometimes think that maybe since he has a kind of cool name and hair, and looks like an NFL linebacker, that people mistake him for a good one. That he is not. He is also a very average player at his position. Yet, Parcells likes him so he must be a Pro Bowl-caliber like Wilson. Spare me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkyMannn Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Yeah, but Parcells signed him so...... I'd rather have Parcells here than the office Bozo's we got Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I'd rather have Parcells here than the office Bozo's we got Well duh. But that doesn't mean every single signing is a good one. Wilson is a below average safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2003Contenders Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I hear ya. In a way it is almost refreshing to be back HATING the Dolphins again with every ounce of vigor in my veins! Not that I had ever stopped disliking them, but in recent years, I think the Patriots had overtaken them as enemy #1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agua Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 About Crowder, I can't remember a single play he made against us. Positive or negative. He's must be a steady, solid player, but hardly spectacular. Pretty fair assessment. He's solid, but not a difference maker. In 4 years, the only game changing / saving play I saw him make was stopping LT on the goal line early this season. I think his biggest value is he has some leadership skills.
