Scoutforlife591 Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 There have been an inordinate number of near misses this year. Things that seemed like could happen, that we didn't want to, that happened. I'll name some of them. 1. Kaesviharn resigning 2. Takeo coming here 3. LaVar happening 4. Wilkinson coming here 5. Shaun Smith staying here 6. Kaesviharn resigning 7. Kaesviharn resigning 8. Justin Smith extending 9. Simmons staying I think we've done a pretty good job forcing our young roster into performing.

WhoDeyThink Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 I always liked Holcomb, and thought he could be a starter. Now it may be a couple years late. I always thought the Browns and Bills should have started him over the SHIT QB's they had/have. He has a cannon. Eagles made a good deal. The only thing good for Buff was dumping cash IMO, but what do i know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooky Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 Thanks for the info. Just in time for my mock draft pick. I was torn between DE and LB. Or strong safety. Any run stopper. Thoughts? I got a WR in the 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoutforlife591 Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 Yeah, don't take a 2nd Rd WR in the first. Then Lorenzo Booker (Reid likes to through) Victor Abiamiri (They go through ends quickly) DeMarcus Tyler (Decent value) Trent Edwards (Can never have enough franchise ability QBs) Other than that, I'm sure there are some good OLmen, I just haven't payed attention to them.

T-Dub Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 Not sure how Philly's D compares to the Bills, seems like they're pretty different... Then again if I'm not mistaken he'll be lining up behind Jevon Kearse, that should be good for a couple of sacks at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you just say Thurman [b]is[/b] too? lol, ok.... As far as Sam Adams, ummm he was injured last season. But what was Sam Adams doing for the Bengals before he got hurt in the Green Bay game? Kicking ass. And calling someone a retard for being happy the Bengals signed a guy like Sam Adams? Thats just fucking stupid. Yay! We didn't sign Spikes! Even though we don't have anyone better than him on our team. Oh...except Pollack right? Boo! We signed Adams! Even though we didn't have anyone better than him at the time. If you are trying to say Pollack is better than Spikes right now, I have to disagree. Anyone is better than Pollack right now obviously so I don't think that is what you meant. If you are trying to say Pollack was better than Spikes before he got hurt, then I may or may not agree with you there, but it is irrelevant because that was in the past. Spikes was a lot better before he got hurt too. If you are trying to say Pollack will be better than Spikes if he ever plays again, then I admire your optimism. But now we are in the realm of SEVERE speculation. And speculation as we know, is the homer's playground. lol sry couldn't resist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
