For years, Madison was one of the league's better locked down (one on one ) corners. His play has dropped significantly (but not his salary). :cry: Zero interceptions last year! With Saban's defensive emphasis on zone coverage and run support, Madison is really getting exposed. Sam hasn't tackled anyone yet on running plays and of the few big running plays against us during preseason, guess who they're running at? When Denver and their vaunted running game comes to town, we can only pray for 90 degree weather & 90% humidity. Obviously, Sam can still play and would be a great pickup for the right defense, but our quarterback situation is arguably the worst in the league. Rather than speculate, (ad nauseum) Feely or Frerotte. Nick this team needs a Quarterback!:D Madison has trade value. :yell: Let's do it, Nick.

have you actually paid any attention to the preseason games? WE HAVE NOTHING behind madison.
 
We traded our best CB (Surtain) because we had Poole who then tore his ACL. Essentially, we had nothing there until the draft. With Saban's defensive schemes, Madison makes 6-7 million a year and is replaceable. :rofl3: He has trade value. Rivers for Madison? Staying with the qb tandem we have is essentially saying: "wait 'til next year."
 
Would love to see us draft Omar Jacobs, but unfortunately that would likely entail us winning 5 games or less.
 
I dont know what youre talkin about.Madison is a decent cb who makes alot of open field tackles and barely misses them.Not many other cbs tackle like madison.Wait till the draft next year.So much depth at qb.We could even pick up chris leak as a secound rounder.
 
Madison did pretty good in the game last night
 
our DBs will be solid next year. Daniels will have a little more experience, Poole will be back and Saban seems to really like Shirdonya Mitchell (who is a rookie but was injured in his draft day workouts)
 
sam never has been much of a tackler...but on running plays he (or his replacements) have to hold their positions on the corner...they can't let the runners get outside of them....the bucs had some long runs on that side because fins didn't hold the corner...he dosen't have to make the tackle just turn um back inside...into the smash factory

I'm sure the Chargers will be all over that trade. If Madison is as replaceable as you say, why would SD give up their top prospect to get him?
 
Yeah, lets do it!

Wait... don't we take a cap hit to trade him? Isn't it pretty big? Aww hell... it's worth it, after all his tackling is HORRIBLE. So we go 4-5 million over the cap. Just cut Feeley and Frerrote to save 1.1 million, we've got a nice new QB after all. Ok... just 3.9 million left. Cut Larry Chester and that takes us down to 3.3 million. Depth? What do you need that for?! WE'VE GOT A NEW QB!!!!!!!!111111oneoneone.

Ok... we're getting desparate now... we've got to cut people who are going to kill our cap next year.... but hell it gets us under this year, no? Cut Reggie Howard and save 2.25 million. Down to 1.5 million now, things are getting better! Cut Seau and save 1 million. Sorry Vonnie Holliday... we love you but we need the cap room... We save 600k, and that leaves us 100k under. Phew!

Ok... wait, what do you mean we have to pay that new QB we just aquired?!

So that leaves us with crap for depth, not to mention that we've got Travis Daniels and Mario Edwards starting for us at CB. How well does Mario Edwards tackle? I'm willing to bet no better than Madison. Who do we cut to make cap room for the QB we traded for? Might as well be Jason Taylor... seeing as we're screwed for the next 10 years anyway.

Go go "I dislike this player so that must mean we can cut/trade him with no ill effects" threads!

Wait a sec.... Dave, is that you?
 
And what makes you think Madison is tradeable now? A big contract, declining skills, and old. You can't just trade a player like that for a QB who is better than Frerrotte/Feeley.
