Does Wade really think Greg Ellis will be an effective starter next season?

[fanfromvirginia]

I think we're okay at Ellis' position. Ideally, we'd shore this position up on Day 2.

My point is exactly what I said it was.

Don't whine because I answered your question and you didn't like the answer. Also, please look up in the dictionary of internet terms and phrases, the usage of the phrase "hijacking of posts" so you can apply it correctly.

If you feel my responses are "garbage", feel free to put me on ignore.

Sultan, your initial response to me is shown above. You did not answer the question of my original post, as I was looking for prospective replacements for Ellis in the draft. Anyway, my apolgies if this post upset you and led you to respond to me in such a manner. Yes, I am well aware that Wade is in a much better position to know who can me more effective than any of us on this board. That could be said about any discussion about any player on this forum.
Anyway, make it a great day!

Okay, thanks for your thoughts.

However, I also had requested this: Let's hear some names of prospective guys we should look at in the draft to replace one Mr. Ellis.

Anyway, like I said, make it a great day!

Ellis has always been a good guy and steady performer. Nothing exceptional, but fairly reliable. However, coming off the type of injury he had, I'd say to expect a big or even average year out of the guy could be a reach. No matter how well his rehab has progressed, I believe all can agree he will have lost a step or two. He's no longer a spring chicken as well. It would be a mistake to put to much faith into him at this point.
The solution? Burning a draft pick for his replacement would obviously be a wise move. Perhaps even a trade should be considered. Our D cannot afford a slow moving LB to be our top pash rusher.

Thanks guys.

As I have stated before, take it from me.
I sustained the same injury and it was very, very tough to rehab and then return to 100%
And I am not even an athlete (though I was in college).
Even -- EVEN -- when such an injury heals, there is a psychological barrier in just planting the foot. Pivoting the foot. You become afraid to put too much stress on it and you shift your weight to the other foot as much as possible. After a while, your mind tells you to not trust your healing foot and you begin using it even less as you progress.
Athletic medicine has come a long way, but Ellis faces a tough one in coming back.
I wish the big lug well and his presence on the sidelines will be welcome for the the young ones.
But even as a backup, it will be a long, hard row to hoe as we used to say in the Mississippi penal system farm.

Good luck, Greg. Get well soon.

btw: as far as a trade goes, forget it. No one will bite on an aging DE coming off a catastrophic injury like this.
It would be great, though, for Ellis to return the following season as a coach. I am sure he'd be great with the young linemen.

Does Wade use a four man front on passing downs like Parcells?

 

[NeonNinja]

Ware is our best pass rusher for one thing and Ellis will be just fine, I think he will be a nickel rusher till he is at full health, if he makes it there.

Julian Peterson must have you on ignore.
