The 2007 Offseason Thread

Michael Lewis didn't wanna play the pass either.

mike nolan and a 10 million dollar sb disagrees with you

like i said before free agency began lewis will sign for big money and play well for someone next year...a team that wont expect him to play deep and cover wr's one on one...a team that wont put him on an island knowing thats not his game and then benching him for doing it...used correctly hes a damn good nfl safety...close to the level of a roy willams but not quite there...keep painting him as a scrub tho and maybe he will become one one day

Archuleta got a big deal from the Skins, that doesn't make the Rams wrong for letting him go.

It wouldn't surprise me to see him do well in SF,  but it also wouldn't surprise me if TRUCK_RATHMAN came in here midseason saying he blows in coverage.

skins dont count

of course the size of a contract doesnt always mirror the players talent...and i suppose an argument can be made that lewis was overpaid...the 49ers had more money than god this offseason...

my point is the guy is a good nfl player and will do well in sf...the over the top hate for lewis by eagle fans because he had a couple bad games is ridiculous...

Lewis was overpaid, but so was Clements. That's the nature of free agency, I suppose.

As for the over the top hatred for Lewis, he was bad in 2005, so most of us thought he'd bounce back (especially since it was a contract year). I feel he didn't. You know how this town is, he let Glenn stroll right by him on a 4th and 26 and had to make a PI to keep him from scoring. Then the next week old ass Horn puts a slight juke on him and he gives up the game winning TD. Thats enough for any town to hate him, but in Philly he sealed his fate.

And just an FYI, I've had a Michael Lewis jersey since his second season, loved the guy. Loved the way he hit, but he was too big a liability, and I'm not just judging that from this season.

..and I'm not just judging that from this season.

Yes you are.  vigy says so.

I'm assuming everyone heard that the Jets are shopping Vilma. Of course it might not be true...but would anyone not trade the 26th pick for him? I'd do it with the quickness.

Yes...he could play any of the 3 LB positions in my opinion. Eagles wouldn't depart from a 1st round pick for anyone, especially a LB.

whats the reason? last i heard was that he did not fit into their defense?

i would love to have him.

i noticed ive said "i would love to have him" to many players already. so i know it wont happen.

[PhillyPhreak54]

I'd trade the 1st round pick and a player for him. Send the Jets Ryan Moats or something.

are you nuts? with that 1st round pick we can draft another bust at the Dline.

If something happens, like they were banking on Willis and he's gone, it could happen. It isn't likely though. Maybe something like #26, Rayburn and Moats.

just a few visits from Truck Rathman during the season will probably be the highlight of the 2007 season.

as much shtein as Lelie gets, the local news showed some highlights from last year in Atlanta.  He actually had some incredible catches.  I was shocked.  I had to do a double take and make sure it was #87.  I know he only had one td last year but I have to admit I was impressed.  I always thought he was soft but they showed about 10 highlight reel catches last night.  Even the people in Hawaii have buried this guy.  now that he's in SF the microscope will be even more focused on him in this state.
