What we need to do.

[TonySporanoTuna]

I am only dealing with starters. I don't feel like finding every single little piece of the team. I realize depth is important

Resign Yeremiah Bell SS
Resign Vernon Carey RT
Move Satele to G.
Let Crowder walk.
Sign Leigh Bodden CB
Sign Justin Miller KR/PR
Sign Bart Scott ILB.
Sign Jason Brown C.

Draft Delmas or William Moore FS. Draft a WR at the top of the second where there is great value. Draft an NT at the top of the third or bottom of the second depending on where Brace or Fili may go. Rest of the draft concentrate on guys we can develop at SS, ILB/OLB, and OL.

The depth chart will look like this:

RT: Vernon Carey
RG: Donald Thomas/Samson Satele
C: Jason Brown
LG: Justin Smiley/Samson Satele
LT: Jake Long
WR1: Ramses Barden or Hakeem Nicks or Darrius Heyward-Bey
WR2: Ted Ginn and Greg Camarillo
Slot: Davone Bess
TE: Anthony Fasano and David Martin
QB: Chad Pennington and Chad Henne

RE: Phillip Merling
NT: Jason Ferguson, Paul Solai, Ron Brace or Fili Moala
LE: Kendall Langford
ROLB: Joey Porter
ILB: Bart Scott
ILB: Akin Ayodele
LOLB: Cameron Wake
CB1: Will Allen
CB2: Leigh Bodden
Nickel: Andre Goodman
FS: Louis Delmas or William Moore (who is sliding bad)
SS: Yeremiah "was a bullfrog" Bell

Then next season we go OLB in the first if Wake doesn't catch on or Porter shows his age.

Thoughts?

not too bad at all. just a few things i don't know about. would a drafted WR be ready to come in and start as a #1? do we know enough about wake to slot him as a starter? and why, oh why, do people want akin more than crowder?

besides that, looks pretty solid.

Because Crowder's a money hungry, overrated, heap jumping, two-seconds-too-late *****.

money hungry? he has neither done nor said anything during his career that can justify that statement. and everything else are subjective opinions.

crowder had 40 more tackles than akin. 40! he was clearly the better player. if he's asking for like 6 million i'm with you, but even crowder said he hasn't earned that kind of contract.

 

[Run'n'gun Udown]

I don't know a lot of these new write in names because I havn't been keeping up. Although I was wondering what happened to Vonnie Holiday? Aren't we paying him well?

 

[gdiaz0358]

i dont like W.Moore hes like a r.williams hard hitter with no coverage, we cant have 2 Y.Bells out there. i LOVE bell but his coverage needs to improve. and Moore has the same problem.

There are sooooooo many Crowder haters on theis board, so I think these sentiments are falling on deaf ears. Except mine. I completely agree. He was a top 5 player on this defense last year.

And everyone's all up on Yeremiah Bell's jock, when he has like 1 pick in the last few years. Don't get me wrong. I love Bell's play, but he is not leaps and bounds better than Crowder. Not at all.

I just don't get people on this board sometimes. It's almost as if some people canm't think for themselves and they just regurgitate someone else's opinion.

Of course, if Crowder wants too much money, I feel we should let him test the FA market. He is worth 4 million a year, in my opinion.

 

[FinsDBess15]

How many impact plays did Crowder do? None!!! I have to admit he was good but too one dimensional Ayodele tackled and had interceptions he will be good next year. Get Dansby or Scott to replace Crowder.

I know what you mean. I just don't get people on this board sometimes either. It's almost as if some people can't think for themselves and they just regurgitate someone else's opinion. Terrible!

i want to keep crowder too.. hes not a sexy MLB in terms of stats. Hes a Bring your lunch pail to work and tackle the hell out of everyone in your way type of guy. Gotta give the guy some credit. Do i think he should be paid like a top 10 LB? No, but i do think he deserves a fair contract and if he walks then he walks. I would like him back though.

I think we need a taller meatier player. Crowder needs to go to a 4-3 where he can really excel.

 

[CitizenSnips]

You cannot pencil Cameron Wake as a starter at this point. We just don't know anything about the guy. The CFL is not known for it's defenders. No way Parcells doesn't bring anyone else in.

The draft is a powerful tool. Use it wisely my son. :up:

There also are some midlevel FA LBs we could get.
