Off-Season Wishlist

PrintSome may say that its too early to make one of these since the season is far from over. Well, that may be the case but for one I was kinda bored on Turkey Day (couldn't go home since I had to work. I'm a med student), plus I'm just doing what 9/10 were thinking and probably going to do anyways during the off-season. So why not give it a start now?
After this season (Superbowl or not, hopefully though), many high profile names will be possibly hitting the free agent market. There appears to be a no cap year approaching us in 2010 and there are some spots we could heavily address FA. Besides re-signing Jason Avant and Leonard Weaver, here are some other players we could/should target.
DE: Now more than ever we need someone opposite of Trent. He is a man child right now and teams around the league are going to start planning against him. Cole is my favorite Eagle and the last thing I want to see is him slump. Darren and Babin are good change of pace guys. Juqua is older and about as useless as dirt, and Abiamiri...I don't even want to get into that. We need someone who can cause trouble every time he steps on the field.
We know how good he is. We've all seen it on Sportscenter. Imagine him on the otherside of Cole. This is a tough one though because he might want out of Carolina, but they may not let him go. And even if he is let go, he has expressed his desire to be an OLB in a 3-4. But the right contract and playing for a constant contender may change that attitude. (However, with us being the Eagles, I dont know if we will give him remotely what he wants).
Yeah so he was just traded. So what? That doesn't mean he's staying. Nobody wants to be in Oakland. Oakland doesn't want to be in Oakland. And unless Undead Al offers him a unreal contract, I don't see him staying. You might think well they could just franchise tag him. Well it works like this: Kirk Morrison, Thomas Howard, and Richard Seymour are all free agents in 2010. Someone's got to give. Matter fact, 2 people gotta give. I wouldn't hate seeing Seymour in midnight green.
I know he tore his ACL. And I'm a firm believer that when people come back from ACL tears, it takes them at least a year after the surgery till they get back up to there regular speed (which is why I'm not mad at Stacy Andrews). He is definitely not happy with the switch to the 3-4 scheme and he didn't hesistate to broadcast that. We could welcome him back to the 4-3 (46) in Philadelphia. He may not be the same person he was when he left (especially since he turns 30 this year). But he or Cole is going to demand attention leaving one of the 2 one-on-one and I'll take that matchup.
LB: Its no secret. And it definitely can't be disputed anymore, our linebacking core is bad. It is the weak point of our defense, mainly in covering backs and tight ends. We got better once we got Witherspoon (thank God), but its still a problem. Gocong, Gaither, and Akeem are all free agents (well Akeem is a RFA, but I digress) and the only reason I could see bringing any of them back is depth. (Some may say Akeem has been great. No he has been average, but his stats speak louder than his play. He has been caught out of position many times and in nickel situations he was being replaced by Tracy White. Not exactly the best sign. He could provide depth thought.)
Kirk Morrison
I know I'm far from the only Eagles fan with my eye on him. As I said earlier, Oakland has 3 quality players leaving and 2 are mostly likely not to stay. Captain Kirk could be one. He is a good player, possibly great. They say he is a better strong side player than MLB. Thats fine with me because I think Gocong sealed his fate when he let Kellen Davis burn him for that TD. I've heard up and down things about him. Sometimes he shows up, sometimes he doesn't. In my opinion, if he just peaks into the party I'm fine with it. Barring injury he could move around the defense to play MLB or SLB for a few games. Seems worth it to me.
Demeco Ryans
Yall might be saying, "What? For one they are probably going to resign him and two we have Stew." I'll be honest. I was never as impressed with Stew as everyone else. I'm not saying he was bad, but everyone was making him sound like he was already Urlacher. People were rating him based on his talent rather than his play. I believe he had alot of upside, but that ACL injury is going to slow him down. Hate it or love it. He is a prototype MLB, but thats about all I saw from him.
With that being said, Demeco has already established himself as one of the better if not best in the NFL. He needs no explanation. Which is probably why he will be re-signed or franchised. However, if somehow he is able to slip by either one of those options....I'll be waiting for him.
Derrick Johnson
Yes, the Derrick Johnson dream still lives. I don't think I need to explain this since just about everyone on the board has heard about it. He's a free agent, he has talent, and KC is not bringing him back. He is not a 3-4 LB. He is a 4-3 SLB. Exactly what we need in place Chris "Houdini" Gocong. The reason he was benched was because Haley is a terrible coach and he wants DJ to kiss his shoes. Come on, Haley is the same guy who traded Gonzalez, put the best WR (Bowe) on the trading block, put a young and talented Glenn Dorsey on the trading block (after only 1 year), cut Larry Johnson, and cut Bernard Pollard (who now garnering Pro Bowl votes). Need I say more?
Thomas Howard
The last of fleeing trio of Raiders. He might be the most likely to stay based on his speed (and we know how much Al loves his fast black guys). The only problem that I have with Howard is he is like Michael Boley. He is great against the pass, but not as much against the run. I mean out of the stud duo of Kirk and Thomas someone should be amazing on all cylindars. Kirk's excuse is he is better at SLB, Thomas is a natural WLB. With that being said, our front 4 has been pretty good against the run so he might not have to worry as much. He isn't really a wish because if we decides to keep Witherspoon, then there really is no need for Howard. He can make game changing plays, but it doesn't seem like a need as of now. And I don't think he can play multiple positions so this situation with him doesn't really matter to me that much.
TE: I know we have Brent and as I've said before I am a big fan of Celek. I said when he was drafted I think he is going to be one of the best. (Don't mind what JIBTA says. He doesn't like Celek because he's not a big black guy which I've come to the conclusion JIBTA has a thing for.) But the lack of depth has me a little worried. Alex has been there, but nothing really special (but I guess that comes with being a back up) plus he's on a 1 year contract. I like Ingram but he is coming off his second ACL tear in the same knee and I can't imagine how hard its going to be for him. Especially since he has to come back in and immediately sub for Celek. How he responds has yet be seen, but until then....
The only reason he hasn't voiced his frustration is because he is not that type of person, plus his team has a winning record. But expect for when the season ends (unless he somehow is coaxed by a big contract) to vault to another team. He is an extremely good pass catcher and is starting to become a great blocker since he has been asked to do it more in the Bronco offense. Imagine him and Celek as our tight ends. I would crap my pants if it happened. So, God please let it happen.
Probably the more complete TE between him and Scheff. Bo doesn't possess the physical tools of Tony or Brent, but he can be every bit as effective. He is a better run blocker than both and could provide depth. Its not likely the Titans will let him go though unless they can bring in another effective TE. Alge isn't what he used to be, is a pretty hidden factor, and Jared Cook still has some growing to do. If Scheff is available then I prefer him, but if Bo is out there I don't see a reason not to pull the trigger on him.
Ben Watson
I still think he could be available. Apparently has been no talk of an extension and nowadays you don't know what to expect from Belichek (check the Colts-Pats game 2 weeks ago). Ben is a freak athlete. He has been known for his inconsistant hands, but is a great player all in all. He can block well and has the speed to create match-up problems for defenses. If he escapes into free agency I will be keeping my eyes on him.
S: In my opinion, the jury is still out on Sean Jones. It took him till near mid season to win the starting job, but I still don't know about him. He plays hard-nosed, but I can't tell if he out of postition a lot, but he still seems to be a little off in my opinion. That could change (and hopefully will) as the season draws to a close. I like Sean and hope he picks up where he left off we he was playing at a near elite level with the Browns. But he is signed just for 1 year and I don't know how the coaching staff feels about him.
Oshiomogho Isaac "O.J." Atogwe
The other reason people watched the Rams. Him and Witherspoon were the only thing keeping the Ram defense alive. Witherspoon is gone now and OJ is a man standing on an island now. He wasn't quick to sign the one year contract and for good reason. He didn't want be there. But he did the professional thing and stayed. Hats off to him. He is a great FS and a natural one at that. He is a ball hawk and worth value in the FA market. If things don't go right with Jones, OJ will be on my radar.
I really like this guy. I've really liked this guy for awhile. But the only problem I've had with this jackass was the fact that I've had my eyes on him for awhile and suddenly he decides to become an All-Pro player two years before his contract goes up making it harder for the Packers to let him go. Bastard. Anyways, this is a stretch. This is a big stretch. The likelyhood of him lasting in free agency (if he even somehow makes it there) is about as long as a lit match lasting in a pool of water. In my opinion, he could be the best FS in the NFL (yes even better than Polamalu). He is a ball hawk, INT return master, and is great in run support. Even if he hits FA he is going to want a big contract and with Macho showing some promise (I like the kid but don't think he is ready) and pending how Sean is in the rest of the season (or even if we resign him) I don't like our chances of getting Nick. ****Sigh*****
You guys complain about the Andrews brothers jipping the Eagles out of there money? I don't think anyone has jipped any team as bad as Bob Sanders has the Colts. In the 96 games the Colts have played since Bob has been drafted, he has only played in 47 of them. Thats less than half!!! Which brings me to Antoine. He is the only consistent and healthy player in that secondary and he has shown his worth especially when Bobby has gone down. Unfortunately, that also means he recognizes his worth and is going to be looking for a contract that fits him. I don't know if he is spectacular, but I know he is at least solid. But, then again, it is hard to be spectacular when everyone around you keeps going down and you have to coach the replacements on what they are doing. If he is not offered a contract by the Colts (which would be retarded on their part) watch what his moves are in free agency.
Well those are my words. Again, this is just now. I'm not panicing against our players (except the LB core) I'm just keeping my eyes open. If Sean turns out to be phenomenol come the stretch of the season then no problem. More power to him, help bring us that ring. And if he wants to stay, I'll welcome him. If Alex Smith picks it up and Cornelius responds perfectly (highly unlikely) then more power to them. I'm just putting my thoughts out there and who I have my eyes on. If I missed anyone, be my guest and let me know or just leave comments. Brent Celek turned it on at the end of the season so there is no reason for me to doubt that anyone else on this team has those capabilites. The board is yours now.

i'd love to bring in a LE
i’m a big fan of abiamiri having watched his career as a notre dame fan, but he seems to inconsistant to me. i’d love to bring in someone who can bring a lot of attention to his side.
i don’t see us bringing in a tight end. celek has been awesome. we won’t spend big money for a starting caliber tight end just to play 2nd string. hopefully ingram can heal nicely but knees are always iffy.
as for safety, it really seems to be a question mark. i really like jones and i was excited when they signed him. i’m hoping he can impress enough to sign a longer deal here. but macho may develop after this season. i’ve given up hope for demps.
as far as the positional needs
-punter DEFINITELY needs to be up there without a doubt
-I hate to say this but i think david akers is past his prime, i also think we need a kicker
DE-it would be REAL nice if we could get dumervil who will be a free agent and is only 24 akeem jordan is probably our 2nd best tackler on our Defense and i think he is steller, however i also think that pisa tinoisamoa, cato june, clint ingram and karlos dansby are also worth mentioning.
-LB
-TE-i think we will be fine with celek, smith, and ingram (only if ingram is 100% next season which i am banking on)
"It's unfortunate that happened. That's no excuse. Absolutely no excuse."
-Andy Reid
i have no idea how that happened, but just ignore it
"It's unfortunate that happened. That's no excuse. Absolutely no excuse."
-Andy Reid
Isnt dumervil gonna be a RFA?
About 10 minutes ago, I was pondering my own existence. Then I decided that it didn't matter.
yes, now i'm dissapointed
lets hope that denver is to cheap to resign him, even though he leads the league in sacks. he’s still working on his rookie contract since 06 and is set to make 535,000 this year. he’ll probably make dwight freeney type of money after this season. it sure would have be nice though
"It's unfortunate that happened. That's no excuse. Absolutely no excuse."
-Andy Reid
Are you high?
Really? Insisting the Eagles would be too cheap to sign Peppers? Didn’t they just shell out $50 mil on just one player in each of the past 2 off seasons?
The Linebackers aren’t bad either, they are injured. You aren’t that high on Stew? Well, nobody cares. He’s an anchor in the middle, and we’ve felt the impact of his loss all season. We can look for depth, but we aren’t going out and signing a Demeco Ryans in free agency.
And Bob Sanders was the reason the Colts won the Super Bowl in ’06.
That was pretty much terrible all around. Just enjoy the season.
Hi Hater!
Real talk fam I could really careless about your views as much I was asking what you thought of the players. For one, yeah they shelled out $50 mil but that was on a CB and a Lineman. 2 positions Andy puts alot of emphasis on. And I didn’t say we wouldn’t I said he might want to high a price tag.
The linebackers are crap and you know it as well as I do. Injured or healthy. And quite frankly I don’t care if you mad because I don’t dream of Stew at night. Oh well, I aint apologizing. He was an anchor, but we were gon feel the impact of the linebackers whether Stew was here or not.
Bob Sanders was far from the reason they won the Superbowl. And I didn’t say he was bad, I said he gets hurt like its in his contract to. 47/96 games? Theres a problem there.
Also, I realize you a new cat on here and while I defend your disagreements, watch yourself with that last line. Learn some respect. Learn your place, and stay the hell in it fool. Aight.
whoa whoa whoa
for one jaqua is 2nd on the team with 5 sacks. Granted I’m not his biggest support but don’t say hes useless. I think Akeem is our best cover Linebacker outside of Will. I think we will have alot of money to spend but I think that should go to Weaver, Avant, Akeem (depth), Brent’s extension, and a SAM and a LE. The only thing is, is that this draft is so deep with defensive ends it makes me day dream in my college classes. Look out for Pitt’s Greg Romeus who will be a 2nd rounder. I think the most realistic play on the above list is Derrick Johnson to make it Stew in the Mike, Will playing…well WILL, and DJ playing SAM (plus he’ll probably be cost-effective). If all goes well and we get the Lito 2nd rounder, I could see us trading our first and the lito 2nd for a top 7 pick and taking Eric Barry from Tenn. for our safety, kids unreal. I think safety in 1st, LE 2nd, CB 3rd and sign a SAM. But I think its important we cut Stacy or Shawn and Kevin Curtis to make more room so we can take care of our own, Jason Avant and Weaver and I think we need another runnning back, may be Jamaal Charles?
also....
Bob Saunders was a big part of that season but it had alot to do with the D-line, Freeney and Rahim Brock (Temple Univ. btw)
I don't hate Bob
I don’t know where people are getting that I hate him. I’m just saying his injuries made Antoine less expendable. I think we should also extend Hobbs because he at least provides depth and a consistant kick off returner. But I agree with Weaver, Avant, and extending Brent. I don’t hate Juqua but hes not getting any younger and that preseason stunt put him in my dog house a little. Akeem could provide some depth and I’m all for resigning him. We all know that Desean is going to want a raise to so we have to watch for that this offseason.
As for the Eric Berry thing. Its not happening. I hate to say it. I go to school here in Tennessee and Eric is the God on campus there. I don’t see him making it out of the top 5. You can’t tell me anything about Eric because I’ve seen it in action. I have been scouting and I have kept track of the names coming out even ones flying under the radar like Pitts Romeus. Another to keep track of it Kentucky’s Sam Maxwell. Micah Johnson is the more touted and watched, but Maxwell could be the better player.
I don’t see us cutting Stacy since he is coming back from injury and its not like we can blame him for not being back fast enough. I think Kevin is gone after this season and Shawn’s career might be over since he is undergoing his second back surgery. It all depends but I would like Kirk on our SLB more than DJ but I would take DJ without a doubt. We’re not getting Jamaal Charles since he is the successor to Larry Johnson in KC so thats out of the question.
Lol 0% chance of getting a 2nd rounder for Lito
Looks like it wont be more than a 5th rounder, if that.
Okay, genius
What is a Defensive End? A lineman.
Enough of the ignorant hating of the Front Office.
No, they aren’t. Next year if Stew is healthy we’ll have 4 legit starters at Linebacker.
We had a top 5 defense with Stew in there last year, and are 12-6-1 when he starts.
Yeah, the Colts defense was horrifyingly bad in ’06, and when he came back they could stop people.
Hahahaha, don’t make stupid comments and I won’t disrespect anybody, it seems you didn’t take the advice.
Worry about the off-season when it comes, a good chance most of those players never hit the market, and a good chance we don’t even go after any of them.
Thank you
I am a genius. I have a 3.79 GPA and I am in conversation with the 2012 Rhodes Scholarship program. So thanks for that.
A defensive end isn’t a lineman and they teach you that if you play. Which you obviously didn’t because it showed in that statement.
4 legit starting linebackers? Look Gocong has already shown he can’t cover and Akeem is serviceable. Gocong pretty much sealed his fate when he let Kellen Davis beat him for that TD. Akeem has talent, but he is unspectacular. Either one of those 2 are backups on another team (except the Giants).
Yes, we had a top 5 defense last year, but also remember we still had Dawkins (who is doing the Broncos justice) and Dawkins made our LB core look good since teams had to account for him.
The defense was bad without Sanders and it was improved. But obviously you can’t read or you would read where I said I don’t think Sanders is bad, just injury prone making Antoine more valuable to the Colts. Did you catch it that time or should I call you?
And I don’t see where I made a stupid comment, apparently everyone else who has responded has had some agreement so I guess that makes you the odd man out. As for taking your advice. I’m really not in the habit of taking advice. Especially from someone who is oblivious to the obvious.
Understand, I am enjoying the season. Very much so. I just thought I would make a post to get everyone’s mind moving a little bit. Plus, people were going to do it anyway so I just got an early jump. Yes, you are right, there is a chance most of them won’t hit the market and there is a chance we don’t go after them. Does that mean I can’t look? I mean if you are driving around in a Malibu and you see a Maybach does that mean you shouldn’t go look at it because you might never get it?
Oh, and one last thing. I’m not ignorantly hating on the Front Office. I happen to believe we have one of the best FO in the NFL. They have surprised us before and they have left us hanging before. I’m a fan. And if I didn’t speak my frustrations or give my ideas then I wouldn’t be much of a fan. If that makes me wrong then entertainment shouldn’t exist because not everyone is going to agree with everyone and everything. So if you want to stay back and just watch what the Eagles do and get mad at everyone that has an idea and chooses to post it, you might not like this site. It happens a lot.
It shows..
You can make up everything you want, but the only thing that shows is what you post and it hasn’t been anything special.
Andy Reid DEFINITELY prioritizes Defensive Ends, which are on the defensive line, making them defensive lineman. It’s not rocket science buddy.
Akeem is a very good WLB, and since he’s been starting we’ve been pretty solid over there. Watch the games, and stop being so in tune with fair weather fans and radio hosts. When did Akeem become starter? Versus Baltimore last year.. we’ve been pretty good since that game, and we surely missed him vs San Diego.
Understand this, we don’t need a superstar at every position, we need the right people for our defense, and Akeem is right for our defense.
How many LBs have been injured this year? Bradley, Gaither, Gocong, and Akeem… that’s a lot of injuries, rendering your opinion of them sucking as nothing more than ignorance.
Dawkins was also terrible in coverage at times, and we had to hide him up at the line.
You said Bob Sanders was more of a waste than the Andrews brothers, when in fact the Colts would have no Lombardis if not for Bob Sanders. Keep up.
The foolish man heeds no advice, and you admittedly are doing just that. Not a wise thing to do.
That was perhaps the dumbest analogy I have ever heard.
You are hating on the FO, “with us being the Eagles I don’t know if we’ll give him remotely what he wants”, is hating, and doing so in very ignorant fashion.
Speak any frustrations you want, but if it’s something as dumbfounded as that you deserve to be called out for it.
This is my last comment because this is tiring
Yes a defensive end is on the line. But, most are moved around for there athleticism. Meaning some are switched to LBs some are even moved inside. A DE is taught that if he needs to stand up and play LB that he needs to learn that position. If we put a TE on the line does that make him an O-Lineman? No.
Akeem hasn’t been bad. But if you paid attention he was being subbed for Tracy White in nickel situations plus he missed more tackles than he’s made. We did miss him, but we also miss Hobbs and Joselio and neither of them were even starters.
I understand we don’t need a superstar in every position. That’s why I said a wish list and not a demand. If you could have everything you wanted, you wouldn’t wish for anything. Is it wrong that I wish we had these players? I don’t think so.
As for Bobby. They miss him, but he is not detrimental to there team. Many a time they have gone to the playoffs and its not that they just played bad D, they were outcoached all together in those playoff games they lost. Yes, I keep up. Also, if you remember he was injured in the Superbowl and played sparingly. So no it was not just him (though he played a big part). Is he a great player? Yes. When he is healthy. But was he worth $37.5 million? Ask the Colts fans on that one.
As for your statement about “A foolish man…..” Well I also learned that “Great minds think alike, wise minds think different.” All because I don’t take what someone says doesn’t mean I foolish. Actually I am quite smart and successful. So I really don’t think I’m lose sleep or IQ points from not listening to people. I choose to learn on my own and there is not problem with that. That doesn’t mean I am going to touch a stove to see if its hot or not. It just means I choose to learn in my own way. Sorry if that offends you. It works for me.
And you took the Peppers comment the wrong way. Peppers is on franchise tag for $16.7 million. That might force him to want something in that area which I don’t think we will “remotely” give him. And rightfully so. I like Julius, but I don’t think he’s worth $16.7 mil a year. Or anything remotely in that area. Understand?
Lay back with the insults because it doesn’t make you look more mature. If you want to call me out fine, but do so with a little more respect because there is nothing worse than insulting someone because they have different ideas than you. I’m going to end it with this comment because I’m not about to get into a blog fight because that’s just stupid. If you wish to keep tossing insults be my guest. I won’t stop you. But if you really don’t like what I have to say then you might not like this sight because there are some with ideas that might test you a little worse than I did. Later. God Bless.
sigh
you don’t get it.
A defensive end IS a lineman, a tight end lines up on the line only a fraction of the time. Is Todd Herremans no longer an Olineman because he lined up at TE off the line 2 or 3 times?
Seriously guy, just drop something when you are wrong. That was the worst serious of counter-arguing I’ve ever seen.
Akeem was our leading tackler up until leaving the line up with injury. Tracy White was very rarely used when Akeem was healthy.
It’s not a far-fetched idea.. our LBs are injured, we are playing guys with other guys they are unfamiliar with.. you’ll see mistakes. Will Witherspoon is a gamer, Akeem will be back soon, and Gocong is just getting healthy. Don’t be a prisoner of the moment.
Do you remember anything about 2006? The Colts defense was getting thrashed every week, they had the WORST run defense in the league by a wide margin. Plugging him back in there is probably the biggest factor in them winning a Super Bowl. I find it hard to say a player who was the biggest reason in his team winning the Super Bowl as a waste of money. What is his biggest job?
Nice save.. not. “With us being the Eagles”, hasn’t been defended yet, and probably wont be.
I encourage different ideas, just stop acting paranoid when someone calls you out.
Have a beautiful day.
im wit Mac...............
Besides Bradley our LBs are our weakness. I would keep Stew and jordan, the rest can go. Also if we ever do decide 2 go get another big time end 2 play with Trent thats gonna be sick. As for safety we hav 2 see wat Jones can show the rest of the year, this team has made a ton of trades in the draft over the last couple years and i got a feeling more bigger ones may be coming. I say we package Vick with another player and a late round pick say a 5th rounder and try to pick up another back 2 go with Shady……young legs fellas , young legs.

Akeem Jordan has been having a probowl season
He’s solid against the run, can rush the passer, and great in coverage. When it comes OLBs, only Brian Cushing has a lower oppo passer rating when thrown at. He’d be a starter on alot of teams.

that’s a little strong isn’t it?

Re-signings
I’m sorry but didn’t Peters sign a one year deal with the Eagles? I feel we should definitely try to re-sign him. He is a stud in my personal opinion.
Signed a 6 year, $60,650,000 extension after being acquired from Buffalo in a trade. The deal included an 11M signing bonus, 1M worth of “workout/other incentives” in 2010, and 350K worth of “workout/other incentives” each year 2011-2014. The base salaries in 2009 and 2010 are guaranteed.

Re-signing are my priority.
Need more years of Avant and Weaver in Eagle green.

I'd add
Sean Jones to that list…
I’m liking Babin too
"What did it feel like? That collision, I didn't feel nothing, because he was pretty much defenseless. It was like running through a cardboard box. Seriously. Cardboard box."- Sheldon Brown on his pounding of Reggie Bush in the '06 Playoffs
A new head coach is all I want.
Real talk!
"Right now Winston Justice is the guy...until that person gets back out there"
I like Reid's personnel decisions as of the last two years.
But I more concerned about our our tactical game-time play calling on the offense. To me, that means Marty M., rather than Andy as being a weak link. I think Andy has to get a torch under Marty’s tail.
that was definitely real talk.

Theres an even worse chance
We get Collins or Bethea. I said Atogwe because Steve surprised me with getting rid of Will and Pisa. So I figured maybe he will begin a youth movement. It isn’t a completely crazy idea. Plus, he is only signed for 1 year. So its not completely out of the question…..but it does look slim.
dont sleep on jones yet..........
who knows maybe it just took him half the season 2 finally get comfortable with the defense LOL. But we hav 2 remember the playmaker he was in Clevland on a horrible team so once he gets comfortable in his role here i say watch out. He may make it hard for us 2 not re sign him, and even tho i think Macho will eventually be the shit hes definitely not ready. We need 2 win now.

I'm not sleeping on Jones
As I said in the post, I’m just keeping my eyes open. If he turns out to pick up where he left off Cleveland and plays lights out then, hey I’m all for it. I liked it when we brought him in. It just had me a little nervous when he lost his job to Macho, but my defense for that is that he never really had a real shot at FS till about midseason. Mainly it seems that he was brought in to push Demps (who I lost hope for as our starting FS) but when Demps couldn’t beat out Macho I think they finally changed there minds. I hope Jones turns out to be great for the rest of the season. I hope he plays well to where we have to resign him. But I’ve learned not to count my chickens before they hatch and not to put all my eggs in one basket you know. But I think he could do it.
I like the List if we can get them @ a resonable price
DE, LB seem to be the biggest needs………Id rather address DE in FA and LB from the draft, but well see. Jones is Ok……He probably just need some more time in the system
Address issues of need in the draft
there’s nowhere that we’re really weak in when our guys are healthy (except Kicker/Punter)…I was green with envy watching Oakland’s punter against the Cowboys
This is essentially a Probowl list for fun…nothing to take seriously…
DE- the only thing we’re missing opposite Cole is a 3 down DE. We have guys that are pure pass rushers, and we have guys that are solid against the run. I’m not down on Abiamiri or Babin, and we have time to train a guy we draft rather than paying a stud that will probably bring an attitude.
TE- we might need some depth, but we don’t need any of the guys you mentioned. They’re starting caliber and deserve to be paid like it. I have no use paying that money to a backup tightend. Also, we’ll get Ingram back.
S- I could bring in another body to compete, but I think Sean Jones is going to be really good for us.

Another RB
We do need another RB to spell McCoy. Let’s face it, Westy’s book is all-but-written. How about interior O-linemen…not that you should draft them high.
sean jones plays hard.
i want him in the mix.

READ THIS>>> My badass offseason. <<<READ THIS
FA:
Re-signings…..
1.Leonard Weaver (do I really have to explain why)
2.Jason Avant (3rd down machine)
3.Akeem Jordan (backup, and possible nickel)
4.Sean Jones (Finally learned the system and it shows)
5.Chris Gocong (Let him try it with his hand down)
Signings:
1.Derrick Johnson (Gocong sucks too much ballage, bring in a real SLB)
2.BRING PACMAN JONES OUT OF RETIREMENT. (HAHA, FUCK THAT)
Draft:
1st rd: Value pick. (I’m still willing to give Abimiri one more year for his balls to drop)
2nd rd:Jermaine Gresham TE (A torn ACL will make you fall in the draft, at least to our pick in the 2nd round.)
2nd rd, second: FUCK YOU Lito Sheppard.
3rd rd-7th rd: Don’t feel like going through the rest of the prospects (too lazy) and just dont really give a shit, maybe some DE’s and LB’s, since this draft is loaded with them.

you seriously want to voice your opinion so badly

Ingram was a 1st rd pick until he tore his ACL.
And even with a strong workout he fell 4 extra rounds to the 5th.

Funny
I thought that was pretty funny. I’m not big on picking another TE off of injury. Remember, Ingram was all-world before his injury and then he injures the same knee again. I really don’t know how we can count on him coming back at all. Then again, Buckhalter became one of my favorite Eagles of all time for doing just that…twice! I stopped reading this guy’s post once he contradicted himself with Kapmann (if you know that it takes a guy a year to return, then Kapmann would not be an answer next year). And, Seymore believes he was sent to the Raiders for a reason and is happy to be there (his own words).
Congratulations on the high GPA. Perhaps, I’d use you as my doctor, but not my GM. We could always use a DE opposite Cole…
You never do know, do you?
It would be amazing to have a healthy Ingram and Celek together. And imagine Ingram, a former QB, but also an oustanding receiver, in the wild cat rather than wasting those plays on vick. Not that I am high on the Wildcat anymore, but I dont think we are as weak at TE as we are at LB.
Seymore believes he was sent to the Raiders for a reason and is happy to be there (his own words).
Not a chance he actually thinks that. I can almost guarantee thats just Richard channeling his publicist. Nobody REALLY wants to STAY in Oakland. Ludicrous.
About 10 minutes ago, I was pondering my own existence. Then I decided that it didn't matter.
You read it didn't you? My work here is done.

Akeem Jordan has been having a pro bowl
He’s solid against the run, can rush the passer, and great in coverage. When it comes OLBs, only Brian Cushing has a lower oppo passer rating when thrown at. He’d be a starter on alot of teams and is more than depth. Gocong blows though.
I’m still not down on Gocong. I didn’t like him in the middle, and I’m not against an upgrade, but I don’t think he’s terrible. You’re absolutely right about Jordan though…he’s been great for us!

Agreed.

different players, Gocongs better vs run; white’s better in coverage
