What Up With Dat?: Submit Your Questions

I agree

lets find out who these weirdos are once and for all.

Don’t disguise it.
The only one we all want to know is Kat.

Since the Colts got revenge for us, much like Eli did just this last week, I rather enjoyed the 07 Super Bowl. The notion of the Saints making it to the Super Bowl just seemed so much like a lark, to me anyway, back then. Now I’ve come to expect it!

I couldn’t watch the NFCCG until the very end. Once it was late in the 4th quarter I just had to know if the fartywhiners would lose, but I could barely stand to watch at all.

Now that the Giants got revenge for us, I can manage to watch the Super Bowl after all. Last time I cheered for the Giants because I didn’t want “Bellicheat” to get away with giving a giant middle finger salute to the entire NFL after he got caught cheating. This time, I don’t really care who wins, but I suppose I’d prefer the Patriots, since we did beat the Giants during the season.

but, the biggest reason is that the Giants winning will make Eagles fans suicidal. Gotta love that.

or, maybe those people followed the instructions and provided only constructive/positive criticism?
or, maybe it was the poll version of reply fail?

Personally, I don’t think we should be voting in polls, because that’s “Politics in General” and therefore banned.

How can he possibly explain what other people answered? I answered no….and I explained why. Was a good initial effort…but it seemed obvious to me that the person was just throwing things at a dart board to see what stuck with some of the off the wall comparisons. It did not seem very indepth at all…which is what I’d prefer to read. Hence I voted no.

Not everyone is going to explain why/how they voted. There are people who don’t comment but still vote. Just the way it is.

Brees might get creative with his contract. Everybody else is going to want to get paid.

…on who they re-sign among our own free agents, and who they might be able to sign on the free agent market. That’s going to determine who we might target in the draft, and when.

And if anyone even suggests that maybe Pierre Thomas is the person to trade, I’ll have Dave hunt you down and kill you with a spoon. Dave, that goes for you, too.

I like the last scenario you brought up. Definitely a realistic possibility.

Pectoral muscle, I think, W. Phillips put in the 3-4, he’s was playing upright, OLB, then gets hurt, he needs a 4-3, but he’s had 1 really good yr, he gets double teamed a lot, the nagging injuries he plays thru. But it’s a risk , imo. I’ll say this, I don’t think the guy’s had a quality D-Coord til this yr. but he wasn’t a factor. Antonio Smith is the disruptor we need, he’s played better, but I think he’s under contract, him or someone like him.

BTW, in this scenario I’m assuming we lose at least one of Meachem and Porter. Since we kept Colston, somebody else will outbid us for Meachem. Alternately, if you want, somebody can outbid us for Colston but we do keep Meachem.

I was also too greedy. Instead of “at least 5” minor-players I should have said 3-4. After the “big five” of Drew, Nicks, Colston, Meachem, and Porter (by name recognition far more than recent performance), we only have seven others who aren’t currently signed. (We’ve apparently already quietly resigned Canfield, and TE Daniel Hardy was apparently not on the roster at all or was on the practice squad and was snapped up by the WhineQueens. We apparently already did similarly with two CBs and two offensive linemen from other teams practice squads as well.)

So of our minor-players we retain, let’s say at least two are RFAs (options: Chase Daniel, Justin Drescher, and Jonathan Casillas), plus then probably only one (if we even want any) of our remaining options (Alex Brown, Aubreyo Franklin, Shaun Rogers, Fabian Washington).

So now that I’ve fixed the base settings, we have already a decent set of people around… but once we sign the three or four “major” people of our own we really want to keep, who can we bring in from the outside from that “second tier” of still pretty good players that would help us out?

Waiting for the other party to blink ;)

He would still get guarenteed money but it would free up space to front load some other contracts and sign some of our free agents

Tom Condon

One of them is. I wouldn’t keep both. I’d flip a coin.

Keep Franklin at a reasonable price, if some else offers him the world, tell him see ya. Brown was and is a waste, in my opinion, especially after the injury. Didn’t live up to draft hopes and just seemed lost trying to protect Drew. Cut him and pick up a decent back-up in free agency.

1. Release Shanle
2. Quit putting them in coverages they have no business being in.
3. Spend at least 2 draft picks on LB’s and preferably our second round pick.
4. Quit bringing in journeymen Free Agent LB’s

Rotate Vilma Wilson and casstillo outside

Stop putting them in one on one coverage due to blitzing.

some teams have 2 safeties that are poor at coverage. That’s why teams have CBs and nickel coverage

Don’t have enough data to analyze. Give Rodgers a couple more years and then we would have a better resume to go by.

I imagine Hartley will be back and I wouldn’t be surprised if we carry two kickers at the beginning of the season.

/holds out hand

I actually believe he had nothing to do with the Vicodin

Sweet! A shout out (sorta).

For a first rounder I think Ingram is a complete bust. Heck, he’d be unimpressive as a UFA. The guy just has no power, no speed, no capability for the pro game from what I can see. I can’t believe we wasted a pick on him. Did I mention that he’s injured ALL THE TIME? Anyway, I didn’t want to bring him up yet again because I’ve been complaining about him all over the place. But seriously, he is terrible so far. I know everyone doesn’t agree with me so I’m taking my ball and going home with this one.

I just wanted to check in again and say thanks for all the excellent answers to my questions. Excellent information and discussion. Thanks, fellas!
