Nope. BTW, KzooMike I love the Terna Nande pick. If we´re running the Cover2 (in the 4-3) it makes a lot of sense, the guy is an athletic freak.

Fabini plays LT and is what Fina was for Buffalo in his later years. Old. Kendal was a steal for them (Arizona) and only play well last year. IIRC he had neck problems in the past. Mawae, IMO, is past his prime. I´d sign him only for depth.

All in all, it´s not far fetched, though I don´t think Backus would be an upgrade over Gandy. I´ve been reading some things about him via fans or past articles that indicates he´s not a reliable player and that Detroit won´t try to keep him. If he´s signed for depth, I´m okay with the move but not for a lot of money or with the promise to start. TC battle between him and Gandy. Stamer is a good player and would fit the fast, not too big LB for the defense Fewell will try to run here. He´s great in ST. I´d sign Bentley and Backus as FA but Hutch would be a pipe dream. Instead of him I´d bring a DE, Raheem Brock, Kalimba Edwards or Carlos Hall. Grady Jackson or Rocky Bernard would be the interior help I´d seriously look into. Grady for one year and Bernard as more long term answer. Draft: Mario won´t be there at #8. If he is it´s a no brainer. If he´s not there Hali, Ngata or Kiawanuka. I know he didn´t look to good at the Senior bowl but the potential he has is huge and he would fit the system. with our second pick the "Deuce" Lutui or Mark Setterstrom to start at LG. then grab a LT (Trueblood if he falls) for future years, a SS, a CB, WR and LB depth.

What Royal Tennenbaum it is? the tennis player, the unwanted daughter or the paranoid one. Very disfunctional franchise.

Maybe now that he´ s in the NFL he´s targeting yachts to steal instead of little boats.

Sam is quick and is great guessing the snap count, having said that he´s undiciplined and it seems it´s all about himself first and the team second. Once he didn´t have the guy making things happen for him (Big Pat) he wasn´t as effective as he was in 2005. I´m all for keeping him if a) the DC keeps him in check in terms of the defensive system, and b) if we get a Ngata type of player, hence a guy that can occupy two OLs for him to roam free getting to the QB.

that right there is crazy talk

If he´s there at 8 trade down and get those wide bodies so that TD´s bling bling can finally shine in the field.

Eric Winston T Miami FL Position: OT Height: 6' 7" School: Univ. of Miami Weight: 316 lbs. General Variables: 33 out of 40 Position Variables: 29 out of 40 Size: 9 Run blocking: 8 Strength: 8 Pass blocking: 7 Speed: 8 Footwork/Technique: 7 Athleticism: 8 Attitude: 7 Positives Eric Winston came to Miami as a TE, and you can see that in how he plays. He’s very athletic, and although he’s added upwards of 35 lbs. to his frame, he’s shown no drop off in athletic talent. Last season, he really blossomed as a player, demonstrating a great balance of dominant run blocking and, more importantly, developing into a very good pass protector. Winston isn’t an overpowering player, like Jamaal Brown, but he’s very sound technically, and is able to get his job done with skill and athleticism, rather than raw power. He’s got plenty of room to continue growing, getting stronger, and with only one year at OT, this could be a breakout year. He’s got good speed, possessing an ability to pull and pick up blitzers, as well as any tackle in the country. Negatives: Winston is still learning how to play offensive tackle. He made a huge jump last spring, stepping into the starting role, but there’s no doubt that he’s got a lot of learning to do. Winston also needs to play much stronger, particularly in his upper body, where he’s a little lanky. From an athletic standpoint, Winston is very good, but physically, and technically, he’s still got a lot of developing to do. Overall: This kid, along with Jon Scott are my two juniors to really watch this year. Both are poised to make huge progress in their games. I don’t think even the Hurricane fans could have expected Winston to become as good as he has, as quickly as he did. He’s not a finished product by any means, but after only one season, he’s come along very well. This year, Winston will need to continue to improve, especially in terms of his power and strength, to be included in that top tier of offensive tackle prospects. There’s no doubt in my mind he will, and with that, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if he declared early. He’s already learned that being an NFL OT will make him more money than a TE. Games that matter: 9/6 Florida State, 11/13 @ Virginia and 12/4 Virginia Tech — No better way for an OT to develop in a hurry, than playing in the ACC. Virginia’s defense against any o-line is fun to watch, and Winston can really make a name for himself by playing well against that band of athletes. Final word: GROWTH — I hesitated putting Winston into the top 5, because for all I know, last season may have been an anomaly, and he could flop this year. Yeah, right. This kid’s a stud in the making, and after this year, everyone is going to know who he is. Would it shock me if he saw the chance to be a high first round pick, and declare early? Nope, not at all. He’s got to get stronger and play with a little more fire, but this kid deserves to be in the conversation with guys like Brown and Barron. ------------------------------------ Eric Winston, 6-7, 315, Miami Winston is probably the quickest tackle in the country. He has been clocked at 4.91 in the forty. No surprise for a former tight end. He has a ton of upside considering how good he is at such a young age. As a freshman he was a devastating run-blocking tight end and after he moved to tackle he only got better. In 2003 he was selected to be on the All-Big East second team and chosen by his teammates as the Hurricanes’ offensive lineman of the year. He bulked up in the weight room but didn’t lose any quickness, in fact Winston was so good Miami moved Vernon Carey back to guard. He slides very well in pass protection and he is stout enough to stop any bull rush. He has good initial pop in the running game but like almost all college players could look to get a little stronger. He missed 2004 with a knee injury but if he would have been healthy and entered into the 2005 draft he probably would have been a top ten pick. --------------------------- Eric Winston Height: 6-7 Weight: 312 40-Time: 5.10 Strengths: Has excellent size with long arms and the frame to add some additional weight...Extremely athletic and quick for the position...Has amazing feet...Mobility is outstanding...Can pull and block in space...Competitive and physical...Uses his hands well and has a good initial punch...Very smart and a hard worker with top intangibles...Gets better each game and still has a ton of upside and potential. Weaknesses: Suffered a major knee injury as a junior in 2004 and didn't appear to be fully recovered yet...Has some trouble with speed rushers...Can he play left tackle or will he have to move to the right side?...Raw and is still mastering the nuances and technique of the position...Needs to get stronger and continue to develop physically...Can he get much bigger without losing his quickness and mobility? Notes: Came to college as a tight end...Looked like a future elite left tackle prospect prior to the injury...Stock dropped in 2005 but that downturn in play might be attributed to his not yet being 100% healthy...It usually takes two seasons to come back from the type of surgery he had so some team may get a steal if he slips a little on Draft Day and then reverts back to the form he showed in 2003 and 2004. ---------------------- Eric Winston Position: Offensive Tackle School: Miami (FL) Status: Senior Height: 6-7 Weight: 310 40-Yard Dash: 5.10 (EST) Positives: Eric Winston possesses great size and the intelligence to play the offensive tackle position, either on the left or right side. He is an all around athlete with great agility for his tall stature. Winston has great speed and quick feet to keep up with the intense pressure from defenses at the next level. Negatives: Winston tore his anterior cruciate ligament in the fourth game last season against Georgia Tech, but should be fully recovered. Lost a year of experience from the injury. Overview: Winston, who has already graduated, was a recruit at TE, but made the transition to offensive tackle before the 2003 season. He didn’t play offensive tackle in high school or his freshman year, but he has made an amazing transition to the O-line

that leave us with Kiawanuka, I´m all for it. As I said on another post, I´ll be happy if we end up with one of the following Hawk Super Mario Williams Haloti Ngata Kiwi Three of them would fill a need and Hawk while not so necessary, is too good to pass up. I´m not worried

And to think that GW said he had no knees and too much of a belly in 2000.

To me Williams let him go, the same guy that thought Keion Carpenter was not the right Safety for his defense.

I´d do it only if he has the arm to fake a punt and throw it to one of the gunners, Moorman has legs but he has no arm strenght.

"Much too learn, he still has" Good luck Jerry.

I´d pass, I´d target Lepsis (OT) from the Broncos instead of him.

That´s what I´d do. Next year will be all new, coaches, system players and expectations in reality won´t be to high. Move Peters now to LT to see if he can be the man who can finally put some stability to the position. Back up play would be Gandy. While he´s not great he did have a solid year. If Peters can handle the position, you then sign Hutch to play LG, if you can´t, move Gandy there and try to sign Bentley. If we don´t keep Williams draft a RT and let him battle the position with McFarland.

Old Ralphie has a two head coin, courtesy of his pal Al Davis, it´s win-win situation for him.

My list in order would be McGee Evans Schobel Clements Crowell McGahee Losman Everett Parrish

I like the guy, he seems to be very passionate on the sidelines and I read he´s respected by his players. Other than that I don´t know much about the guy.

I´d be very happy if we end up with one of the following with our 1st round pick, and chances are one of these guys WILL be available: D´Brickashaw Fergusson Mario Williams Haloti Ngata Mathias Kiawanuka So I´m not worried.

Great indoor kicker (minus kicks that matter), a big ? outdoor kicker, who doesn´t kick-off and with a big mouth. I´d rather keep Lindell.

Campo looked clueless on the Dallas sidelines, please don´t hire this guy. He´s nothing more than a DC.

I guess he didn´t party before the big game.

Hey, I loved the guy and the Patsies failed yesterday as much as everyone here (I was cheering for the Broncos as if they were my Bills) but that doesn´t change the fact that Brady is a great QB.

I said to my brother he would miss it, and he did. Though I called it wide left.
