Anyone else upset we relased Hall?

when you look at some of the other player/pick trades leading up to the draft its hard to complain about the value received. Would a third have been nice?? Sure, but I dont think the problem is when/what picks we received its what we did with them once we got on the clock.

No one thinks Lindley is ready to challenge for the starting spot across from Asante or beat out hanson/hobbs for the nickel spot. Best case scenario… 4th/5th CB without getting much playing time unless players ahead of him get injured. Sapp, the later pick, is actually the more intriguing prospect but it just feels like weve been down this road before… trying to force a square peg into a round hole. Combine that with some of the other new talent we have coming in on the line (tapp, graham, teo) and I really dont understand the pick, no matter what the value.

Now lets take a look at what could have been…

at 105 I see two clear cut better options. First AJ Edds, a player that most had rated as the #1 SLB in the draft and would probably come into camp as the starter. This may be a novel idea to some but when you have played the position of SLB before you normally pick it up quicker at the NFL level. Second, there is Aaron Hernandez the TE out of Florida. I like Ingram but he hasnt played in 2 years and who knows how he is going to return.

At 134 I am probably going to lose a couple of you… Zoltan Mesko, punter from Michigan. No questions about whether he can play in the league, no questions about WHERE he plays in the league, and a clear cut improvement over our current choice. Sounds pretty good to me.

They had to let Hall go to make room for Allen. They can always bring Hall back as the get rid of people. They may still think Hall can help, but the numbers game was against him now. I’d tell him to sit by the phone………or another team could grab him.

I was talking more about the draft picks we got than Hall. I could care less about him but it just angers me a bit that we got rid of Sheldon for unproven players…But now that I think about it more, he was getting smoked deep a lot later in the season. I just wanted to hear what other people had to say about it. and for the people who had a problem with my grammar, go fuck yourselves because it’s a fan post and grammar had nothing to do with it…thank you guys have a nice day

If he made the roster. Thank you, have a nice day!

sheldon brown was never a guy who picked off passes he was a guy who dished out hits but what I am ticked off about is we gave away are starting linebacker cris gocong away for just about nothing

You just might learn something. S.Brown was a legend in his own mind, and he was starting to get toasted consistantly. We traded him for those picks, Hall was a consolation prize, nothing more. The EAGLES got what they wanted. Goodbye SB, Hello
new draft picks. I promise we won’t miss him like we missed B.Dawk

ya maybe because of the way our safeties played. In 08, when we had a solid safety in Dawkins, Brown gave up just ONE (1) TD all season, and that was to L. Fitzgerald in the NFCCG. Mikell had a SOLID season as well and made the All-Pro. Last year, Brown practically had no safety help and had to do everything himself while he was playing with a hamstring injury. Mikell had an awful season, ya i know he made the pro-bowl, but that is just a big illusion. Mikell really struggled last year without a SOLID safety next to him. Brown could have still played for another yr. Brown became my favorite player on the team last year. Just the way he never quite and kept giving it his all even with his injury. I was really mad when we traded him away. As for the contract, if I remember correctly, the issue was never mentioned by Brown again once the season began. Samuels gets toasted all the time as well. he makes up for it in INTS, but for every Int he gets, he gives up 2 TDS. Brown was the best CB we had last year IMO. But there is nothing we can do now, we just have to hope Hobbs can do a decent job and Allen brings stability to the secondary.
