Around SBN: Why Hockey Fans Should Root For Devils Vs. Kings

Joselio Hanson for Willis McGahee...

          I can't be the ONLY one who thinks Jose Hanson needs to get packing. He's a 5'9 185 Nickleback... and that's it. He was burned twice trying to prove himself as a starting caliber player. Quite frankly, ever since our very own Joselio stopped doping, his play has dropped off significantly. 

          I don't think it would be a bad idea to trade him over to the Ravens for Willis McGahee. The former Pro-Bowler can be an obvious help in short yardage situations (12 TD's from the Miami product last season)

 

More after the jump

Star-divide

 

    The Raven's are in desperate need of a [functional] cornerback. Looking at their roster they only have 3 corners who can cover the below average receiver (on a good day). Laurdarius Webb, Chris Carr, and Fabian Washington. Only Webb was drafted by the Ravens, and the other two had been cut (both from the Raiders no less). Behind that group of three is Marcus Paschal (Remember him? Yes... He was cut by us three years ago), Travis Fisher and a bunch of No-Names. Hanson could easily compete with them, and win a job for that matter. Lastly Ravens Head Coach John Harbaugh knows what Hanson is capable of, and how to use him, from the time the two spent here with the Eagles.

          Meanwhile, Willis McGahee has been clearly on the trading block for quite some time. Don't be surprised if another team offered them a working corner for McGahee's services. He's proved consistently that he has a nose for the end-zone. While durability may be a cause for concern, having him and Mike Bell splitting the backup carries would only lessen their chances of injury.

         Also with Hanson out of the picture, there would be room for an excellent looking group of Asante Samuel, Ellis Hobbs, Macho Harris, Trevard Lindley, and Dimitri Patterson. Thus allowing Harris, Lindley, and Patterson to develop in Scott McDermott's defense. Lindley is already looking like he could start two years from now (same goes for Patterson, and possibly Harris in the slot role that currently belongs to Hanson).

          In the long run, Hanson is just holding everyone else back, and it would be nice to see a backfield of LeSean McCoy, Willis McGahee, Mike Bell, and either Eldra Buckley or Martel Mallet. (Don't forget we'll be getting a 6th rounder for cutting J.J. Arrington!)

 

EDIT:

Throw in the 6th rd pick that comes from the J.J. Arrington / Joe Mays deal. Seems like a pretty equal trade. Remember, the Ravens are loaded at RB with Jalen Parmele showing up as thier number 2 and FB Le'Ron McClain as a very cabale runner (their leading rusher 2 years ago). They are looking to deal an RB or LB.

 

BYTHEWAY,

Sorry...

But the Ravens aren’t surrendering their #2 back who just scored 12 TDs for some scrubby nickel corner who can’t cover outside to save his life.

BTW

Mike Bell could be cut, the guy missed most of training camp, has already fought with Marty and while he misses time both Mallett and Buckley pick up the slack.

I can't think of one reason the Ravens would do this.

Let me get this straight. You want to trade a very bad player (Hanson) for a good one (McGahee)? Hell, count me in. While you’re at it, we should convince them to trade their Aquarium on the Harbor and Camden Yards for two row homes in Ogontz. And I’m not all that sure Hanson is “functional.”

Throw in a couple McMansions from Jersey and I think you could get a deal done.

hanson for mcgahee, eh?

while we’re at it, let’s attempt these trades…
omar gaither for patrick willis…
quintin demps for ed reed…
mike vick for nnamdi asomugha…
and (my favorite) stacy andrews and a conditional pick for the entire saints offensive line.

by awd777 on Aug 22, 2010 11:40 AM EDT reply actions  

that’s a bit much, don’t you think? i didn’t know mcgahee was an all-pro like the players you listed.

by Bleediots on Aug 22, 2010 1:58 PM EDT up reply actions  

failure to use sarcasm properly. as in, your lack of acknowledgment that hanson plus 6th for mcgahee could actually be a viable offer by using current all-pros to hanson-like players. but i like how you used graphics. neat.

by Bleediots on Aug 22, 2010 6:55 PM EDT up reply actions  

my apologies...

i got my degree from the university of sarcastic speech in ‘03. i guess it’ss a little out of date.

oh and since you like graphics so much, here’s another one…

by awd777 on Aug 22, 2010 8:39 PM EDT up reply actions  

it’s okay. things get out of date eventually. at least your copy and paste skills are here to stay.

I'm on my phone...

My reply was posted under the wrong comment… Oops!

But they obviously want to trade him. McGahee was great, he’s still good. Hanson is better than what they have at corner. Trading a need for a need.

Plus a 6th rounder is way more than what McGahee is worth now.

by MatKid92 on Aug 22, 2010 11:41 AM EDT reply actions  

id rather trade for marshawn lynch

by phillyeaglesfan on Aug 22, 2010 11:53 AM EDT reply actions  

Do not

Let Lynch within 200 feet of DeSean Jackson on everyday except Sunday. There are some rumblings about those two partying in college, a lot and doing other things (cough) a lot. And I don’t want DeSean being around Lynch, a guy who is DeSean’s buddy but is nothing but bad news.

by d-jackfan10 on Aug 22, 2010 1:10 PM EDT up reply actions  

Why trade anyone at all?

I hear Glen Coffee is available…

Speaking of washed up, or not elite, or whatever, we don’t need that. We need someone who can pick up some backup carries per game. All we’d need McGahee to do is double for Bell, and Bell is not remarkable in any way, except for games lost. He could easily be cut depending on what guys are on the street after final roster cut downs.

But back to the point: I agree that a Hanson for McGahee deal wouldn’t work. Hanson ain’t too goo and way too expensive…with two very public burnings now on his recent resume

I think this post is an omen — now that we have one of the best receiving corps in the league, the trade for will be all about the running back position.

Speaking of which.. any way we can get Anquan Boldin in the deal with Hanson?

Sorry.

by Greg M on Aug 22, 2010 12:40 PM EDT reply actions  

Boldin is a receiver, not a running back ;-/\

Are people forgetting that Lenoard Weaver is our 2nd RB?

He is going to share carries with McCoy just like he did last year. The players behind those two are trash. I expect them to add a RB from the waiver wire. I want to see the Eagles play someone else at nickel CB next week. Maybe Trevard Lindley or Dmitri Patterson.

by rajav on Aug 22, 2010 3:26 PM EDT reply actions  

Leonard Weaver is a fullback

And Reid has gone on record as saying that he’s going to be used more for blocking this year and less for running / receiving.
Besides, as at least 3 other BGN’ers have pointed out, he can’t block for himself.

by Rabbit T on Aug 22, 2010 4:26 PM EDT up reply actions  

ummm yeah... No...

Macho Harris is better fit to be a nickleback (played that when Hanson was suspended) because Lindley and Patterson are almost exclusively Right and Left [respectively] corners and like Rabbit stated, not only has Reid said that Weaver is going to be exclusively an FB… he can’t block for himself

Meh.

He’ll be our nickel/slot cornerback. And he excels there. So, why trade a guy who’s good at his position?

And McGahee= Leonard Weaver with a better O-line. MUCH better O-line. Getting a big RB won’t fix our redzone problems if the main culprit is our offensive line. Fix that, we fix our red zone problems.

by LegendKnight22 on Aug 22, 2010 5:43 PM EDT reply actions  

Come on are you serious

McGahee for Hanson. Your gonna get rid of a guy who at least knows our system and your D calls, to get a RB that has no place here. You think andy has four rb’s on the roster for the hell of it

by Sikahema on Aug 22, 2010 8:47 PM EDT reply actions  

LOL

McGahee would have no place on the roster? I hate to tell you this but Willis is a HUGE upgrade over Mike Bell and at least for the time being he is better than LeSean McCoy IMO. Plus would it really hurt to cut Buckley, Bell or Malett in favor of McGahee? No.

And who cares if he knows the system, if you can’t play well in the system you have no place in said system.

Good idea but even being an eagles fan

I wouldnt trade for hanson is my Secondary was made up of OLmen… that’s how bad I think he is.

thats Cobb on Kolb crime if you ask me... as said by yophillybro
