Sampson in the lead for the RT position. - Page 8

tyton75 · 06-22-2005, 08:40 AM

Vermeil was on 810 this morning talking about some stuff most of us already know..

Key Fox is ready to be a starter (whether he will be or not is yet to be determined)

Fredex is a talented reciever and good in traffic (per Vermeil)

Going to bring in some CB vets to try to shore things up.. Vermeil sounds like he isnt' comfortable with the current situation at CB

Waters is out of shape but Vermeil trusts that he will get back in shape.

But the eye opener to me was that he said Sampson would probably be the opening day RT... I was under the impression that it was Blacks job to lose.. but I guess Sampson is really looking good.

All he done was mentioned that your statement was wrond, you went on the offensive. Further more, Scanlon was mentioned and you brought it up to as a sacastic remark. In reality, you made yourself look as thou it bothered you. Telling some one he is a moron and to piss off only tells me that you do indeed take it personal and get upset/and or mad.

It has been awhile since III has mentioned Rich at all.

I don't bring it up anymore unless it's as humor on some threads( with the exception of mentioning his name here ) .

Face it you got mad because he called you on the quote, you got upset over it and called him a name and being sarcastic.

Your quote was misleading and he mentioned it.....

Remember last year we had, once again, one of the worst defenses in the history of football.

I have a bet with one of the Roy's. I don't see Scanlon making the active roster.

I do like Maz.
I like his intensity and desire.

I would be surprised if he makes this team now, though.
He was slow before he got hurt.
Chances are with age and injury, he'll be slower still.

As for Stills, he's going to have to do more than just be a ST player to make this squad.
He's going to be on the bubble, and if Gopher is as good as the Roys claim, then I don't think he makes the team either.

But I distinctly remember a coach who was so consumed by the thought of beating Denver that he struggled to beat anyone else.

I have no reason to think that he's changed.

If Fox has improved as much with pads as without, I think Fuji will be traded away.

You could be right, but Fujita is playing for near vets minimum, and is only on a one year contract. I don't think Fuj' is going anywhere.

Did I ever tell you that I like Steak Fujitas better than Chicken Fujitas?

LOL! That gets annoying when announcers pronounce Fujita's name as Fajita. How much money are you making to butcher a name like that?

LOL!

You bring up an excellent point. But what does Bell being outside have to do with beating Denver?

It's impossible to tell which linebackers will be cut, but I don't think that Barber, Fujita and Maslowski could be considered roster locks at this point. It wouldn't surprise me to see all three gone if everyone working with the team right now makes it through camp healthy. It's a numbers crunch.

You know, in season's past, I would be upset to see those 3 go. Now, it really wouldn't matter to me if we got rid of Maz, Barber, Browning, Fujita, Sims, Hicks, Woods, Wesley, and Warfield. There are some quality players, but those names scream last place D.

I'm with you for every name on that list except for Wesley and Warfield. I think Wesley's primed for a big year, and I think Warfield is irreplaceable at this point. Irreplaceable is in adding a corner (whoever that might be...) and losing him would leave us right back where we started. It's a pragmatic thing. He has value to us as an experienced CB, whether that's as a #2 or as a nickel.

Sims we have to keep for financial reasons, I suppose. Fujita I've always liked for some reason, but wouldn't bother me to see him go. Barber, Browning and especially Hicks and Maz...no tears would be shed. It's a shame, I guess, that we're not as rich in talent (or bodies, even) at positions like DE so that someone like Hicks becomes expendable.

i think you're right about barber and maz...

and you're most likely right about fuj...

didn't they let him try fa and nobody was interested?

and didn't dv say after the draft that dj would compete with fuji at the olb spot?

obviously, if they drafted someone to play his spot and only signed him after nobody else wanted him, he probably doesn't fit into gunther's plans...

plus didn't gun recently say that he didn't have any lb's that could play last year (or something very close to that)?

with the exception of mitchell and fox, i think they might get rid of all the lb's from last year...

I to think Wesley and Warfield are solid players. I just don't think any player on our D should feel complacent. With the infusion of new talent on D, I think that message has been sent loud and clear.
