So Demps and Howard are both FA's? Look like good pick ups. Demps has never been a big int guy, and I've seen him drop some. But I like the idea of him and Roy vs Roy and anybody else we have hehe. I wonder if the Aints would give us Will Smith instead? :p

What is everyone's fascination with Will Demps?

He's the weak link on the Ravens D, and he doesn't get exposed that often because of the players he's surrounded by. Not much of an upgrade over Scott/Dixon.

Anyway, this is what I kinda think will happen mixed with what I'm hoping for.

QB - Drew Bledsoe (FA)
RB - Jones
FB - Barnes
WR - Johnson/Morgan
WR - Glenn
TE - Witten/Campbell

LT - Adams
LG - Allen
C - Johnson
RG - Gurode
RT - Rogers

DE - Ellis
DT - Glover
DT - Anttaj Hawthorne (1b)
DE - Reggie Hayward, Broncos (FA)

OLB - Ahmad Brooks (1a)
MLB - Nguyen
OLB - James

CB - Newman,
CB - Anthony Henry, Browns (FA), Pete Hunter

FS - Dwight Smith, Bucs (FA)
SS - Roy Williams

I don't have a fascination with him, like I said, he's not a ball hawk. I do think he's better than what we have. This draft is said to be weak for S's, so I'm not sure we should look for an upgrade there. I don't know what other S's are available through free agency.

D#1Cowboyfan · 12-23-2004

I think Drew Henson could be possibly traded off diffently if Romo shows some promise this season and if the Cowboys sign Matt Hassleback it won't be no room for Henson so Cowboys might just trade Henson off while they have a chance and Matt Jones could be drafted to get more time...Heard the talk about Emmit might come back...

QB - Matt Hassleback (FA)/Tony Romo/Matt Jones, Arkansas (4b)
RB - Jones/E.Smith, Cardinals (FA)/Rashad Lee
FB - Lousank Polite (Practice Squad)/ Richie Anderson
WR - Johnson/Morgan/Crayton
WR - Mike Williams/Glenn/Cooper USC (1a)
TE - Witten/Campbell

LT - Adams/Vollers
LG - Allen/Walter
C - Johnson/Dinapoli/Lehr
RG - Elton Brown, VA (1b)/Gurode
RT - Rogers/Tucker

DE - Ellis/Chris Canty, VA (2nd Rd)
DT - Glover/Albert Means, Memphis (4a)
DT - Shaun Rogers, Lions (FA)/Leo Carson
DE - Wiley/Eric Obogu

OLB - D.Coakley/Kalen Thorton
MLB - D.Nguyen
MLB - E. Hartwell, Ravens (FA)
OLB - B. James (switch sides)

CB - T.Newman
NB - Lance Frazier
CB - Fred Smoot, Redskins (FA)

FS - P.Hunter, W.Demps, Ravens (FA)/
SS - R.Williams, K.Davis<---*SWITCH*

Dwight Smith although he's talking of trying to get CB money is better
Chris Hope is a good player on Pittsburgh's D young with better coverage skills than Demps.

I'm a believer in Baxter over Lucas thats me though. After watching Baxter you could switch his jersey with McAllister and it would be hard to tell them apart by the way they moved and played.

I think Hartwell is JAG as long as we don't overspend.
Pool and Johnson are flat out studs and think the nachos would be safe with those two picks. Two impact playmakers
Pool has a little Ed Reed with 3 more inches in height as a Sooner fan though I hope he stays.

First Round DT are scary I'd rather have a FA than Hawthorne

I've heard rumors that Emmitt may want to return for one final season with Dallas. I wouldn't mind. He's better than Eddie and would would be a decent backup.
Plus I think it would be good to see him go out a Cowboy...and not just one of those one day contract deals.

I didn't realize he was a free agent. Nice option to have if we can't land Lucas. Throw in Hartwell at LB and we start out FA with a bang!

I disagree. Baxter doesn't make many plays although he is surrounded by nothing but pro bowl players. He doesn't make many INT's and he gets picked on more than anyone else in that secondary IMO.

The30YardSlant · 12-23-2004

This isnt neccessarily what I want it to be, but this is what I would predict:

QB: Drew Henson
RB: Julius Jones
FB: Richie Anderdson
WR1: Jerry Porter (FA)
WR2: Keyshawn Johnson
WR3: Quincy Morgan
WR4: Terry Glenn
TE1: Jason Witten
TE2: Dan Campbell
OT: Flozell Adams
OT: Jacob Rogers
OG: Larry Allen
OG: Stephen Peterman
C: Al Johnson

DE: Greg Ellis
DE: John Abraham (FA)
DT: La'Roi Glover
DT: Anttaj Hawthorne
OLB: Ahmad Brooks (starting to really like this guy)
OLB: Jerry Porter (FA)
MLB: Dat Nguyen
CB1: Terence Newman
CB2: Ken Lucas (FA)
CB3: Gary Baxter (FA)
CB4: Lance Frazier
FS: Will Demps (FA)
SS: Roy Williams

Now that I think about it, if Henson is good thats a great lineup.

QB: Drew Henson
RB: Julius Jones
FB: Lousaka Polite
WR: Keyshawn Johnson
WR: Mike Williams (Round 1) Terry Glenn as #3.

C: Al Johnson
RG: Stephen Peterman
RT: Jacob Rogers

RDE: Simeon Rice (waived by Tampa for Cap reasons)
DT: Shaun Rogers (Won't be franchised by Detroit I hope.)
DT:Laroi Glover
LDE:Greg Ellis
OLB:Bradie James
MLB Dat Nguyen
OLB: Derrick Johnson (Round 1)

Demps is also a RFA.

There's a guy named Donte Nicholson that's a pretty damn good safety.
