Re: Free Agency '06 continued

[Wingspan]

IGY,

You kind of took what he said out of context

really...is that a surprise at all?

when i heard banner would be on...i decided to tune in. and i though banner answered questions well enough. for once he did not stick his foot in his mouth.

however, you can take any one of two dozen statements made, forget the context, and shtein on the guy and the front office...and that is just what some will do.

he did dance around some questions, but he's not going to go and divulge everything.

you wont here the same people cry about his comments say that one thing banner DID say, that ultimately, every season has been a failure because they have not won a superbowl.

CHARGERS, FINS SWAP FORMER FIRST-ROUNDERS

We reported earlier on Wednesday that the Chargers were shopping cornerback Sammy Davis, a 2003 first-round selection of the team.

It didn't take them long to find a suitor.

San Diego has shipped Davis to San Francisco for 49ers receiver Rashaun Woods, a 2004 first-rounder.

The Chargers also are trying to move linebacker Donnie Edwards and safety Hanik Milligan.

This is what I was referring to in the Tracker in the ATNFL forum about the Chargers dealing Davis and looking to deal Edwards.

I would LOVE Donnie Edwards here. He's older (33) and he's also 227 pounds (which goes against those of you who believe that small LBs don't exist in the NFL and can be successful) but he is one of, if not the most underrated LBs in the NFL.

He could play SAM.

Give them a 4th and a player.

my bad bud, Howard was pretty blunt to the fact in asking Banner if we have an interest in Walker and Banner gave why he couldnt elaborate. Banner gave him a "competitve advantage" reason with other teams, he wont reveal their plans and if any player can help the team out at any position, they will take a strong look at them..blah blah blah

Howard then asked him again, "why not?" The info's already out there about Walker....how do we value 3rd rounders, what would we give up for him? Banner acted clueless like he didnt understand the question and he doesnt handle that type of stuff, again...blah, blah, blah.

I like the fact that Howard beared down on him and tried to at least get a solid answer, rather than dance around it like Tony Manero. Nothing new that we dont already know about this drawn out topic

Does this mean we are getting Urlacher?

thanks for the interview info Phreak.

Donnie Edwards is a bad ass that would bring the attitude back to this D.

I remember being so high on Rashan Woods and praying the birds would draft him back in 04.  Hasn't done squat to date.

[Seabiscuit36]

I felt the same way about Woods coming out of OK State, but he also hasnt had a QB since he was drafted.

FINS = 49ers?

Also, did anyone else put together that both Davis and Woods were taken with 1st round picks the Eagles originally owned and used to trade up for McDougle and Andrews, respectively?  What are the odds of that?

now he goes to Phillip Rivers (a true unknown)---huge upgrade for him--I wish him luck

here is a 9.5 min highlight of soon-to-be All Pro with the Eagles  Jabar Gaffney. Its worth the download because its gives you a good indication of how he can be used in this offense. Although there are alot of routine hitch plays, 5 and outs, and not alot of YAC (which is probably based on the defenses playing shallow due to the bad OL in Houston), he does have a knack for getting behind the defenders--especially against some good defenses in INDY and Seattle. He does fall down alot after the catch, but so does Holt, Bruce and Harrison. The boy does have some very good hands, which Reid should utilize him for in the slot alot.

[MURP]

that might be the most pathetic highlight reel i've ever seen.   

[ice grillin you]

lol @ murp

is it the same one someone posted here after he signed?

[MURP]

that end around against the Titans was amazing though.  I can see why it made the highlight reel.  Looks like we have our gadget guy.

[SunMo]

MURP, if you can't get excited about an end around for a 1 yard loss in April, when can you get excited about i?

[MURP]

possibly May. 

[hbionic]

Just watched the highlight reel MURP... ...unexciting is what comes to mind. A musicless reel. Anyways....I almost threw up what I had thrown up in my mouth after hearing "...if you give this kid some time" when referring to Carr twice or any other god damned QB in the NFL for that matter. NO shtein!
