Around SBN: Dana White Announces Koscheck vs. Hendricks for UFC on FOX

Losing & Gaining.


We Lost many great talents in Dansby (to Dolphins), Rolle (to Giants), Boldin (to Ravens), and Kurt Warner. Now its time to start looking over the other FA talents and Draft choices we have. Now i know many others might not agree w/ me and critique my choices in players that i would like to lure in including not really knowing our money situation- But does anyone?

    Now, first things first. Cardinals did a superb job in replacing Rolle with the hard-hitting, Kerry Rhodes. We must adress our very sad LB problem. In my oppinion, make a strong, strong push for Joey Porter and Larry Foote, and a possible pick-up for Will Witherspoon. Bulluck would seem out of the question but, hes going to be hurt some of the season, Titans might be willing to give him up for a player and a mid-round?

    Next, address the QB issue, honestly I would rather have a part-time rock start in place of Leinart, then again, i haven't seen much action from him, so who am i to judge? But, i think now that Warner is gone, a push for Vick and Tebow would be clever, now bear with me. The wild-cat offense and run game would be smart on the Cards part, aim for McCluster, a projected late second- third round pick, and master mind at the WC. Beanie, McCluster, Hightower, Rhodes, Vick and Tebow would quite possibly make the best tandem for the wild cat, but idk, not seeing much in Leinart. I want to see a team that can devise plays w/ the amazing cast around, and do trick plays, Winning games in exciting fashion. If you dont agree then its okay, but im just putting oppinion out. Thinking it would be a good fit to the System.

Wildcat? Really?

Not going to happen. No way. No how. But since your drafting Tebow and picking up Vick via trade you might as well give the Eagles Fitz because he’ll be pointless in that offense.

I agree

The wildcat is just a fad. A few years from now, it will become a distant memory in the archives of the NFL network or NFL films. Besides, if you go that route, what kind of message are you sending to your WRs. The Dolphins have mastered that scheme because they have the personnell to do it (a good pass catching and throwing RB in Brown and crappy WRs). If you want the team to change their philosophy to something like this, Fitz and even Breaston become irrelevent. Makes no sense whatsoever.

It’s not that you’re the only one who “loved” it, it’s that it doesn’t make any sense to continue with it if Leinart under center. If we trade for a McNabb or something, though, then by all means.. lets air it out.

But, smashmouth. I think the Bears game last year is the perfect blueprint to build the offense around (strong running game, multiple TE sets using play action, simply but effective routes by our WR’s). I’d love to see what Beanie can do if he is the featured player of our offense, though I also hope his injury history doesn’t come back and bite us in the ass. Lott better be working his ass off with Beanie.

Buh...wha...huh?

McNabb?

Speak ye not the name in this house!

agreeth...

I want Leinart to start. If he fails than at least we will have come closure on it, no more of well he didn’t have the same team now, he got injured, no first team reps, etc.

They are who we thought they were!

I would hate for us to bring someone else in, trade Leinart, and see him win elsewhere.

Never do card tricks for the group you play poker with.

I’m not a fan of bringing McNabb in, either, but it WAS a rumor for a bit before it became clear that Andy Reid wants way too much of Donovan’s services, and is in no rush to get rid of him just yet.

by Chg91 on Mar 14, 2010 8:34 PM MDT up reply actions  

No way they are getting Tebow or Vick.

I’m going with a more balanced Pass/Run ratio for the offense.

Lifelong Arizona Cardinals/Chicago Bears fan.

I can't stand fair-weather/bandwagon fans, stick with your team, throughout the good and the bad.

OP is forgetting that Tyler Thigpen and Pat White could soon become available

And they’d be a heck of a lot cheaper to toy around with than anything listed above.
