Shaun Rogers is not going to play every snap obviously, but he is a catalytic player. You'd probably see that if your nose wasn't so far up your own ***.

Rogers still makes more plays than Spears, Olshansky and Canty_COMBINED.

You know that he plays for the GIANTS?

Total Solo Asst Sacks
Spears 7 6 1 1
Igor 14 11 3 1


Rogers 19 16 3 1

Symour is not a 3-4 defensive end and it would be a downgrade to put him there. Olshanzky and Spears are beasts at stopping the run. Everything isn't about the pass rush. You get rid of the ability to stop the run for the ability to pass rush and you have a problem surfacing.

Seymour was a 3-4 end in New England, a pretty good one.

You do realize that New England runs the 3-4 right?

you mean we could get mcfadden?
He hasn't done anything....
Plus we have 3 starting quality backs already....
We need a safety and a LT.

between Cleveland and Oakland, we ought to be able to find another OLB or MLB who has produced and better than Carp. I'll be willing to give up a 4th rounder to get someone that may eventually take over for one of the ILB spots or OLB.

4th rounder to me is a big gamble. I rather pick up someone who has NFL experience and has shown some ability at this level.

problem is we HAVE a pro bowl NT. Ratliff isn't a DE. How often do we need to discuss this.
Where are you going to put Rogers when you have Rat? You can't pay two players top salary at same position.

I am actually one of the few who likes Rat at NT. But the additions of Rogers and Seymour would allow the Cowboys THREE catalytic d-lineman who could be moved around to create spectacular mismatches. All 3 are strong against the run and pass rushing beasts.

Besides Rogers is not a full time player, Rat would still get plenty of reps at NT. In fact, when they go to a 46 or under 4-3, Rat and Rogers would play DT with Seymour at strongside DE and Ware at weakside DE. That lineup would wreak havoc.

Again, this is pure dreamcasting_with the upcoming uncapped year, salaries be damned. Make a run for the SB NOW, figure out if you want to pay em or let em go AFTER WINNING THE RING. My thinking is Instead of looking to shore up a weakness, I would rather muscle up a strength. Even Hamlin can look like a pro bowler behind this front 7.
