To say that comment about the Falcons running game is not doing enough justice to what Warrick Dunn did for them last year. He averaged 5.1 yards a carry, getting 1,416 yards on the season. The year before the duo of Dunn and Duckett combined for over 1,600 yards and 17 touchdowns.
I had no idea he had re-signed...and like I said twice in the post...I never expected to sign all of those players...they are guys I said the Jets should at least look at. So you saying it was my dream scenario is bogus. I never claimed to want ALL of those players. Your attmept to make me look stupid was not needed.
My dream: (including first year cap hits: backloaded NFL style obviously) Say, conservatively we are 20 mil under Kevin Shaeffer, OLT (3 mil) LeCharles Bentely, C/G (3 mil) Kaem&$^*<*, NT (3 mil) Patrick Ramsey, QB(trade) (1.5 mil) Andre Dyson, CB (2 mil) TOTAL 12.5 mill Draft day: trade abe for # 9, trade down from #4 to #8 (for a 2nd rounder) #8: Vernon Davis, TE #9: Lendale White, RB 2a) Nick Mangold, C 2b) Manny Lawson, OLB Not THAT is a team! Afte kendall is done we can move mangold to center and bentley to gaurd. I know some HATE jones at RT but i personally think this scenario would give us one of the most athletic tackle combos in the league an an interior line that is just nasty....then they get defense gets hit by LENDALE. Have a prob with ramsey or pennington at QB? Well hello mr safety valve Vernon Davis. Then with lawson and Kemo and dyson rounding out our 3-4 defense it would be just sick. Dont laugh, this scenario IS POSSIBLE.
i would love this scenario but just change the 9th pick from white to deangelo williams.. i really do think DW has the potential to be the next tomlinson.. ive heard things like white is overweight (like 250) and immature and that may not be good at the next level.. our team would have a young explosive offense with davis and williams in there just like the chargers have with lt and gates..
I stand corrected. They definitely had a great running game. Like all, I can be guilty of making a statement before verifying it's truth. Thanks for correcting me.
But paying Bentley are large sum of money doesn't bother me because he's young and can be here for a long time. What I have a problem with is when people say we need to get someone like Terrell Owens who will command a lot of money and will not be here thru the rebuilding process. So, if we were to shell out a lot of cash to someone like Bentley I would have no problem with that at all. Also, any deal Bentley may have had with Philly, he may want to re-look at now that every team has more money to spend.
I don't think anything is a sure thing. I'm not even sure that Bentley and Philly were even allowed to speak to each other
With all the hype regarding Mangold, I'm quite sure that he'll go somewhere in the first round, probably in the area of 18-25.. I'd be shocked if he's still there for us in round 2.
I agree. Whenever everybody assumes we can pick a player in the second round, or outside of the top 10, chances are good he will be gone before that.
I would love to see LeCharles Bentley & Tank Williams..We help ot the Oline and secondary and then trade down for some picks and with the Detroit pick and ours and Get AJHawk and Lendale White
