So far I've seen scenarios where we sign Edge James and move Westbrook to WR, draft VD and move LJ to WR. We sign Randal El and have him play every position in a trick play offense. Moats is going to be our back up QB and will play under center on certain Randal El driven trick plays. Mike McMahon is probably going to move to WR since that's what all of the rest of the players who occupy a position that we could upgrade are doing. We could draft a DT or LB or something with the first pick, but why not trade the pick to Min for Culpepper and move him to LB?

Die.

We're getting Culpepper?

rjs246 · February 28, 2006, 05:54:42 PM

yep. He'll be our nickel LB, punt returner and wedge buster on kickoffs. He'll also be responsible for defensive adjustments and will be the lone man back with the hands team when defending onside kicks.

Sweet!

this may have been posted here but i love this...re: veedee

When Davis completed 33-reps on the bench yesterday he purposely went last. Davis admitted showing up late so he could find out what the previous best by a tight end was and beat the number.

I have no doubts that if the previous best was 35 or 37, he would have beaten that too. Would love to have that mean sonovabitch laying brick and catching balls for Donovan next year. Farg L.J.

Retard Young says retarded Wonderlics tests are totally retarded disrespectful.

Young calls Wonderlic reports 'disrespectful'
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. -- For nearly a week, University of Texas quarterback Vince Young has had his intelligence discussed, dissected and demeaned in the wake of reported Wonderlic test scores at the NFL scouting combine.

Young, who was honored Friday at the 69th annual Maxwell Award ceremonies, would not answer specific questions about the Wonderlic test but did acknowledge how upsetting the reports have been.

"It hurts a little bit, and I think it's very disrespectful. But it's cool, it's cool," Young said. "I know what I can do, and I'm going to continue doing what I'm doing."

Young's agent, Major Adams, brushed off criticism of Young, saying some of it was expected.

"People are going to try to bring him down between the Rose Bowl and the draft day," Adams said. "They will try to take shots at him, and he hasn't done anything wrong, so we just take it with a grain of salt."

The 6-foot-5, 230-pound Young led Texas to a 41-38 Rose Bowl victory over USC in college football's national championship game. He could be a potential No. 1 overall pick by the Houston Texans in next month's NFL draft.

"A rumor is a rumor to me, it's just like high school, they say you kissed some girl, but you really didn't, so that's how I feel about it," said Young, referring to the reported Wonderlic test scores.

Young has kept his sense of humor, and relied on advice from players like Steve McNair, who also faced his share of doubters coming out of college. He's also gotten the support of reigning NFL MVP Shaun Alexander, a fellow honoree at Friday's Maxwell Awards.

"Tests are tests to me," Alexander said. "The key thing with any football player is, what can he do when he gets on the field."

Scouting directors around the league have emphasized the Wonderlic is just a small part of their overall evaluation of Young, and are giving him plenty of tests of their own.

"I don't really care about the criticism, because I'm pretty much used to it," young said. "There's always something about Vince. ... I feel like I've overcome all of that, turned out pretty good, so I want to continue to do that in the NFL as well."

Nice to see the guy is already speaking in the third person. Did I mention he was retarded?

If the Eagles literally only have 10 guys on the roster that play defense, I still take Vernon the D.

So what you guys are saying is that you want the Eagles to draft Vernon Davis, right?

One thing I haven't seen mentioned about VD that I saw from him at Maryland, is his blocking. He makes LJ look sick there, not that it's hard to do. He doesn't take plays off. He is simply a beast. He'd knock any linebacker who would blitz on his ass.

PoopyfaceMcGee · March 05, 2006, 09:39:31 AM

Yep, I've mentioned it. If the kid wasn't a monster blocker, I wouldn't see a reason to get him at all. The key is that he's everything L.J. could hope to be as a playmaker and then some, and he's also a physical, angry blocker... which L.J. is not and is never going to be.
