Clayton says we might sign a tackle - Page 5

**the Talking Can** · 09-12-2006, 06:40 AM

Mike Pearson?

Was with the Jags and someone else the last couple of years...I'm assuming he's a RT but Clayton didn't say....just heard it on Mike & Mike this morning...

We have actually tried to address the tackle position though. We draft linemen every year. We just haven't done as good of a job as usual. Svitek, Sampson, Brett Williams, Parquet, Black, etc... I don't believe we've totally avoided the situation.

This is another depth move.

This likely means Sampson is injured worse than anybody let on, and Jordan Black will be starting indefinitely.

You'd be here today bitching because Carl didn't do enough to fix the defense...

No doubt there would have been bitching. However, there also would have been a lot of people not suprised, I recall people talking quite a bit a bout a first day OT pick as a possibility.

Seriously...

Pro Bowl tackles looking for backup jobs...dozens you say?

Peterson gambles & traded a third(?) on an injured Roaf. Chances of lightening striking twice, not good

I talked about taking a tackle as early as the first round, getting Marcus McNeil. And I got crucified for it. I also suggested several guards in the 2nd and got crucified for it.

I'm sure there would be more than one level headed person that realized the value in such a move, but there also would have been a riot for the casual fan that can't see football beyond the scope of fantasy football or Madden on their playstation.

As it stands I think the picks we used in the first two (and maybe 3) rounds will be players that we get a lot of mileage out of in the next 5 years. I can't use hindsight to go back and second guess what looks like one of the more successful off-seasons we've had in quite some time.

He is out 6 games AFTER he is signed. Also, bye weeks don't count against a suspension. So, if he was signed today the first game he could play would STL on 11/5.

Also, it was a steriods suspension so he can have NO contact with team personnel during this time (this includes players, and he could not buy ticket and sit in the stands during games). This is in contrast to Warfield's suspension (for DUI) where he could practice, attend meetings, and away games.

Jeezuz. Calibrate your sarcasm meter.

It loses something when I have to spell it out on a chalkboard.

Like I said earlier. It's not unreasonable that this team thought they had our future tackles in Svitek and Sampson. They just expected to have a little more time to prepare them.

think I just need more sleep, that outa take care of it. thought it was you bitching that we didn't fix the whole world. my bad dude.

StcChief · 09-12-2006, 11:31 AM

So who/when for a 1-2 years?
Welbourne- 11/5. after suspension (hope he's staying in playing shape)

Another FA?
or a Trade?

Trial by fire with Svitek may/maynot work.

If this continues with Sampson, he is boarding on bust category.

ct · 09-12-2006, 11:31 AM

Has anyone signed Chris Liwienski, released by Minnesota?

EDIT

Chris Liwienski-T- Cardinals Sep. 9 - 8:13 am et

New Cardinal Chris Liwienski is now the team's starting right tackle.

Liwienski, who was cut by Minnesota last weekend, signed Tuesday. It's not a great sign, but for this week, the Cardinals should hold their own against what has been an anemic San Francisco pass rush.

JBucc · 09-12-2006, 11:32 AM

Didn't we sign some Ian guy a few weeks back? What's up with him?

Sampson is a 7th rounder. The fact he's competed 2 years in a row for a starting position far exceeds any expectations I had personally.

I'd like to know how a 7th round pick can be considered a "bust."
