WTF? I know we can't fix everything in one year but can we get rid of the old dead wood and make an attempt to get younger across the board? Daniels is 37y/o. OMG. Wasn't he cut last year and brought back for a one year deal?

Cornelius might as well start packing.

I don't mind the move. Despite his age, he plays the run well and is a good guy to run a rotation with.

Daniels is simply terrible. He's got no quickness, no speed, he's as slow as a turtle. I just don't get it.

Maybe that's not a bad thing, but Sproles is one of the rare guys in the league who has never run behind zone blocking at any level. Not at K-State, and not with the Chargers. Marty and Norv, independantly, are two of the only offensive minded coaches who have really not embraced zone blocking concepts in any capacity, at least to this point.

Zorn's scheme was primarily zone blocking, but there were some man elements in the week to week gameplan (likely due to Bugel).

I guess I wouldn't mind it since we don't know what Portis will be able to do since his concusion. Then there's the fact that we have a guy on the team who is, I'm guessing, making 400K to 500K to pretty much play 4-7 plays the whole game. ... Cartwright.

Rolle will be a free agent he and Landry would make a nice tandem.

Unless we are going to offer Rolle a boatload of money, it sounds like Rolle is going to be back with Cardinals with different structure contract..

WHAT? Landry is terrible! We would trade him but we couldn't even get a 4th for him. He wouldn't start on half the teams in the league!!!!


I don't that signing him alone would add up to many more victories but I wouldn't be upset with it.

Wait, I am confused, and think you are being sarcastic here because in another thread you said this:

Sounds great, Vinny! I think that improving the current Super Bowl Champion and a conference opponent is a great idea. Let's throw in a 2nd and 6th too so they don't shop around...

This Laron Landry bashing is officially in the retarded stage.

Someone give me one team that he wouldn't start immediately on. In fact he would probably be the starting FS or SS on almost every team in the league.

Sorry, I was being sarcastic because some of the things that I have read in these forums portray Landry as barely worth a roster spot.

idk he's been very erratic lately lol

[GTripp0012]

Rolle becomes one of the better players in the free agent market upon his release, but it's critical that people don't think of him as a pro bowler. He doesn't consistently perform at a pro bowl level at safety, and especially not at corner. With that said, league average performance has a lot of value, and Rolle could be a valuable pickup.

The problem is that I don't think a Rolle-Landry tandem fixes anything. Landry needs to develop into a very good free safety (or just 'safety' who doesn't line up in the box 80% of the time), or he needs to hit the road. Strong safety can be an intermediate step to that getting cut part, but putting Landry at strong safety is the opposite of a career saver. Develop or get the crap out.

[GTripp0012]

By all means, if the internal evaluation comes back that Landry's problems can't be fixed, we should sign a free safety in free agency. But then the goal, obviously, is to replace Landry. And that should be clear.

Has anyone heard much about us looking to pick up Peppers? I know that our name gets thrown into most the the FA rumors because we are always looking to "make a splash," but it is briefly metioned in the Haynesworth post below.

All I've read is some in the organization think he could get a lot of sacks for us.
