O right... and cut Warfield.

[Hammock Parties]

O right... and cut Warfield.

Uh, why? He's finally blossoming.

[BoroChief]

Right on:clap:!!! Imagine what Gun could do with three Lawrence Taylors. I still don't know about Hartwell. I could strangle him for yanking our and every other team's chain he's visited. Being a homer I would mind us drafting Daryl Blackstock (LB UVA) in the 2nd if he's available. He reminds me of a young Lawrence Taylor, he's got that same mean streak and very similar instincts and abilites.

[4th and Long]

Uh, why? He's finally blossoming.
Oh really?

He had no more assists or INTs last year than any of his previous years. He had less tackles last year. He returned no more INTs for a TD last year than any other year. He did not have a higher forced fumble percentage last year.

He is blossoming ... how again exactly?

Yours is more realistic.

Come on man. Anyone could see he was playing much better last year.

[4th and Long]

Come on man. Anyone could see he was playing much better last year.
Not statistically sir.

[Hammock Parties]

Not statistically sir.

If you want to go by statistics Eric Warfield is better than Champ Bailey.

Can you remember Warfield giving up any long gains like he had in the past last year? I can't. His problem was always consistency. He'd make a great play one down and get burnt the next. Last year he was pretty consistent.

I never thought Chump was all that, anyway.

You might have noticed this, but maybe you didn't so I'll point it out to you. They threw to the other side of our D much more last year, thus detracting from Warfield's ability to screw up.

I have never liked that guy and I never will. Oh sure, if he makes a pick, I'll scream and holler like the next guy but in all honesty, I don't like the man as a human being. Anyone who makes the kind of cash he does should hold himself to a higher personal standard, i.e. his DUI problem. And can someone explain to me how a guy that makes that kind of dough decides he doesn't need to purchase mandatory car insurance?

[Hammock Parties]

Champ IS all that. He had a down year but Denver still finished with an awesome pass D. It sure wasn't because of Hernon or their pass rush.

And that has ... what to do exactly, with Warfield's alleged blossoming again?

Nothing, I was just refuting your statement. Bailey's very good.

[4th and Long]

Nothing, I was just refuting your statement. Bailey's very good.
And Warfield isn't. :D

[Warrior5]

I still don't know about Hartwell. I could strangle him for yankering our and every other team's chain he's visited.

yankering? :hmmm:

...the possible definitions are endless.

[BoroChief]

whoops did I say yankering. My fingers must be working faster than my mind again. lol

[Hammock Parties]

And Warfield isn't. :D

He's a #2.

[BoroChief]

I love the edit button makes me feel less like an idot

[KCinNY]

3. Fujita is resigned.


Why is that a priority?

The guy has made zero big plays in his entire career.

Good athlete, smart guy--no football instincts, whatsoever.

[Hammock Parties]

The guy has made zero big plays in his entire career.



9.5 sacks, 1 interception, 1 forced fumble

[milkman]

Mine is to trade the #2 pick for Surtain, trade down in the first, getting 2nd in addition to the lower first.
Take Marlin Jackson in the first, and Daryl Blackstock in the 2nd.

BAA after that.

[BoroChief]

Riding shotgun on the Daryl Blackstock Bandwagon.

[KCinNY]

9.5 sacks, 1 interception, 1 forced fumble

Took him 3 seasons to get those numbers.

Not impressive.

Can anybody cite a game-changing play ever made by Fujita? I can't.

[Phobia]

I remember one time he ran down a fairly speedy WR to save a TD. I was very surprised by his quickness.

Most of that is in the last two seasons. His rookie year he only had one sack.

A game-changing play? His interception against the Bears last year was a big momentum changer...but who besides Woods has made any game changing plays on this D the last two years?

The Bears? I don't remember a Bears game in 2004.

I meant the year before. Take a chill pill or we may have to ban you.

Big momentum changer?? In a game that the Chiefs won by 30 against a team that had already packed in the season and was being led by Kordell Stewart??

Sorry, but I just don't get why people think Fujita is anything other than a marginal NFL LB. He probably wouldn't start on most NFL teams.

Resigning him is not a priority, IMO.

Statistics don't always tell the whole story. He was thrown at less this year than in year's past partly because he picked up his game, and because the guys opposite him sucked. Whenever we were burnt it was Burntee and McCleon getting torched. Warfield was solid and kept on his man as well as most other of the better CBs in the league.

[4th and Long]

I'm not convinced of that. :shake: Let's see if it holds water 2 years in a row.
and because the guys opposite him sucked.
THAT's why he was thrown at less.

Resigning him is not a priority, IMO.

Oh I agree. He's nothing special. But he's a solid starter IMO and with better talent around him would look even better.

Resigning him IS a priority because we aren't going to replace the entire linebacking corps in one offseason.

[KCinNY]

That's where you and I disagree.

I think he's a special teamer and backup--not starting material (at least not on a decent defense).

We'll see how he looks with a decent MLB(Bell) playing next to him.

[Nightfyre]

Justification:
1. Hartwell will stuff the run, freeing up more people for the blitz.
2. 2 veterans to save cap space. Cut Warfield to create capspace. 4.4 mil for a #2 CB?
3. Fujita was a decent player in a shitty system. Next to Hartwell and Bell, he will look like a god.


Now: I am going to change my offseason:
4. Trade a 2nd for Howard. Cut Hicks or make him trade downs with Allen. Howard is an all around DE with more potential and a better pass rush than Hicks. I theorize we could support this financially by cutting Warfield.
5. Rd. 1 draft BACB. Nickelback, CBOTF
7. Rd. 3 comp pick draft LeftT /RG/FB/QB
8. Rd. 4 draft LeftT /RG/FB/QB
9. Rd. 5 draft LeftT /RG/FB/QB
10. Rd. 6 BAA
11. Rd. 7 BAA

Champ IS all that. He had a down year but Denver still finished with an awesome pass D. It sure wasn't because of Hernon or their pass rush.

Actually it was in large part to Herndon.

After all the "Herndon sucks" talk of last week, I just had to call my buddy and see what he had to say...

He said "Once again Shanahan screwed the pooch. Traded an arm and a leg for Champ Bailey and Herndon was the best CB on the roster last year."

[htismaqe]

My dream scenario:

1. GET PATRICK SURTAIN.

2. Don't care what happens after #1.

Herndon had a good year but do you REALLY think he's better than Champ Bailey? I don't. Bailey's a stud.

[milkman]

No, Herndon isn't better than Bailey.
But he is a good corner, underrated by most.

[htismaqe]

No, I don't believe that Herndon is better than Bailey.

But a team has to understand the "here and now". The present situation in Denver is that Bailey got burned, burned, and then burned again. Teams picked on Herndon to stay away from Bailey and he, for the most part, shut down his side of the field.
