Around SBN: What If This Is It For The Celtics? End Of An Era Looming

3283

As per ESPN insider rumors, Atogwe may be released soon by the Rams or else they'll have to pay 110% of his 2009 salary for 2010.

Do you guys still want him, even though we have Nate Allen? Pros? Cons? Is this fanshot just another attempt to get Atogwe's face up in here?

Love the face...let's hope that sticks around

But yeah, I saw we should sign him. There’s no guarantee that Allen will be a star this year. If we can shore up the safety spot with a top tier safety, I’m all for it.

there’s no one on the depth chart right now I’d worry about cutting in favor of Atogwe (except Allen)

Although I'd love to see more of that picture around here

I don’t think they’ll go for him. He’s too expensive to be a backup and I think the team is committed to Allen at this point. You never know though…

You do realize...

that they have Macho Harris penciled in at starting FS, don’t you?

Yes

But! Look at DeSean Jackson. He was drafted in the second round, started (I believe) as #5 or 6 on the depth chart during minicamp/training camp, and was a starter by the end of the year. The Eagles also started Juqua Parker instead of Brandon Graham at this year’s minicamp opposite Trent Cole. The minicamp depth chart means little since rookies rarely start off as starters. They need time to learn the system, and the best way to do that is with the second or lower teams.

He was the starter by Week 1 actually.

Good catch, Serb. That’s what I meant. Also, everywhere I’ve looked, it’s spelled DeSean (as opposed to Desean). Does anyone know which is the correct one?

by Bob_Q on May 5, 2010 7:15 PM EDT up reply actions  

According to Wikipedia

its DeSean.

No I don't.

But, you know how stubborn Fatty is when it comes to starting rookies when he absolutely doesnt have to.

Perhaps

but you’re forgetting that a bag of potato chips, not even a good flavour’d bag, is indeed more capable of playing FS than Macho Harris.

especially the rippled variety.. the ripples cling to the receiver as he tries to go up for the catch and distracts the receiver with their delicious crispiness

But what if it is a "can" of pringles?

Without the pringles?

I’d still like him. We’d go from having a very weak secondary to a very good secondary with one gaping hole (RCB, of course).

i think the best part is that he took the same picture twice

and looks literally identical except for the hair, and the beard is slightly lower

Reid said Nate Allen could play cb...

if there is any truth to that statement, perhaps move allen to rcb and sign atogwe.

by Tbot86 on May 5, 2010 12:45 AM EDT reply actions  

I really think they're going to play Marlin at CB.

Hopefully he didn’t lose too much speed from fucking up his legs.

Crossing my fingers for that

About 10 minutes ago, I was pondering my own existence. Then I decided that it didn't matter.

by IronHank on May 5, 2010 12:21 PM EDT up reply actions  

Wasnt fast enough to play CB in a noncover 2 system to begin with… 10 months ago he had has left ACL repaired… Dec 1, 2008 he had surgery on his right ACL (and another ligament)… Dont see it happening.

I think Reid is giving Nate waaaay too much credit here. He would get abused in man coverage and his strength in coverage has always been playing more of a centerfielder type role.

If only there was some type of big NFL event where all of the teams and all of these young college players got together and “drafted” these young players to each team… I bet you that would have been a good place to pick up a CB (or even a ballhaking safety that actually has the abilities to play RCB in a pinch).

VOID!!!
