Didn't say you were or weren't, just making an overall comment.

FTR, I agree. Not a fan of Franklin.

IMO, we need a couple of Lilja-like signings. Tier B guys that are going to make an impact.

Ignoring your gaping holes, or trying to fill them with trash isn't going to cut it if this team expects to improve.

Mike Tolbert and Le'Ron McClain are two other backs that no one is talking about that'd would GREAT additions to this team.

That would be against the blueprint anyway.

You and I butt heads a lot, but we're in complete agreement on this one.

A fresh rotation of Edwards, Powe and Shaun Smith isn't THAT bad. I don't feel like spending huge dollars on a NT is worth it.

Tolbert could grab his ankles & roll for more yards than Jones

You absolutely spend big money for the right one.

Franklin isn't it.

Mr. Arrowhead 07-15-2011 05:37 PM
We good, cuz we good the non reading SOB named POWE

The Bad Guy 07-15-2011 05:38 PM
I read McClain wants to be a tailback and has slimmed down considerably.

How in the **** is Franklin a marginal player?

Marginal is probably selling him short regarding his talent, but he's not Vince Wilfork, yet he's going to get paid like him.

He probably is marginal in the sense of value for the dollar.

I would LOVE it if we made a trade for Solai from Miami...they were pushing 126 million last year and I doubt they can afford to give him a good contract and stay under this new cap number of 120 million.

Send em a second and change, if that's enough.

Guy reminds me of a bigger Dan Saleamua.

Do that and sign a starting caliber OT and I'm ready to roll.

It's not that good, either.

The only addition is a guy that apparently can't read and hasn't had the luxury of getting coached up for the past 4 months.

If the defense is going to take the next step, management has to address the NT position.

I want him but not for Wilfork money. So if thats the asking price no thanks but for anything less yes please!

We got some holes needed to be filled the moto should be "Spend Baby Spend!"

I'd love Clabo, Steve Smith or Breaston or Jones, Franklin, and let's flush the Javon Belcher turd with Barrett Ruud.
