You're nuts as far as our WRs go.
This argument everyone makes about them getting older is ludicrous. They are older than they were last year, yet are having better seasons. Morton has a year or two before he starts showing a huge decline, and Kennison two or three. David Terrell. You want to give KC fans something to bitch about, David Terrell is it. His hands are ATROCIOUS.

Cut 7 starters and sign 6 FA's....LOL, dude, prepare to be severly disappointed.
If KC signs 3 FA's, I'll be seriously shocked.

BTW, the only guy on your list that will be cut is Holliday.

You and I will go round and round about this as we already have. Better years than last year is not saying much. They are already declining. We would Kennison have gotten caught from behind 3 years ago? NO, but he did against TB. I've made the injury argument before. It's not they get injured (everybody does), it's that their age is causing them to recover slower. They also have huge drops. I'll conceed that Terrell may be a bad pickup. I don't follow him close enough to comment on his hands. I based signing him on the fact that he is big, fast, already working in this offense and will come relatively ccheap. If not him, then someone else. I think with Porter and another FA WR can give us the same production as Morton and Kennison with upside and longevity. |

This could be the one offseason where there is considerable movement on the defense. There is great frustration over their performance. |

As far as getting caught from behind, that's the ONLY time this year, he's had plenty of other long gainers where he DIDN'T get caught from behind. Both of them will start next year, so you might as well get used to it.

I have to admit, though, the Arizona St. QB pick is interesting...I could agree with that.

I'm guessing you are satisfied that our younger players on the OL will be able to step in and fill Roaf's and Sheilds' shoes. I agree to an extent but I'm a little worried about the LT position. Roaf is a HOF'r and, IMO, there's a big dropoff after him.
While I'd love to have Ahmad Brooks, due to me being a big UVA fan, I don't think he's coming out this year. He's a true sophomore that's 3 years beyond his HS graduation so he's eligible but I think he might stay around UVA one more year in hopes of finishing a little higher in the rankings next season. This is all just my speculation. I see your draft as a little short sighted. We definitly need to improve the defense but I don't think we should count on any rookies to make significant contributions in their first year. We should focus on BAA regardless of position for our higher draft picks. IMO, we put ourselves at a disadvantage when we draft for need. Last edited by nmt1; 12-09-2004 at 08:18 AM.. |

Like I said, I think their salary next year is large enough to offset the accelerated signing bonus cap hit so that the cap hit is close to zero. I'm to work now so I'll do some digging this evening and continue this debate then. I like the debate though. |

1) No, I'm nervous about the OL, especially LT. But if Roaf and Shields do come back, I think we have to roll the dice there this offseason. The defense and WR needs are too great. 2) I'd really be only counting on the 1st 2 picks as having an impact on the D next year: Brooks and Rogers. While they fill need positions, they are very good players. We draft high enough to get 2 playmakers out of the draft. After that I've taken a QB for the future, a 3rd RB, a backup FB, a DE coming off injury (you know about Canty than I do) who could be good in the future and a project CB. 3) Brooks has a shot at a top 10 draft pick. I think there is a very good chance he comes out. |

I won't get used to it until it happens. Until then I'll still yell and scream for their replacement. If they are back, I'll root for them and defend them tooth and nail to other teams fans. That being said, my opinion is that they need to be replaced. |

My offseason plan as of today.
Resign Fujita. Move Battle to FS. Free Agents Dream FA - Julian Peterson (if healthy). More realistic approach LB - Hartwell (fallback is Calmus if healthy). CB - Hope that Lucas or Smoot aren't tagged. SS - Donovan Darius. (All teams need veteran leadership and it doesn't get much better than this guy.) Draft Round 1: I'm going with Michigan or Georgia. Braylon Edwards, Marlin Jackson or David Pollack. |
