Nate Clements is going to be a FA

[MichaelWinicki]

I don't think it is. Henry is ALWAYS giving up big plays. You don't see Champ getting out runned consistently. Burned a few times hehe

When he is healthy excuses excuses. The guy is getting primo bucks and hasn't done squat but pick a few balls off.

Offenses constantly scheme him against speed guys and he gets eaten alive.

Just watch Henry vs. Lloyd and that sums up Henry's existence here.

I think you're over-reacting quite frankly.

You seem to be suggesting I want draft highly for that position or sign a high profile FA. All I'm saying is that we need to decide if we have an answer for that position in 2008.

I realize we might and I realize you can sometimes fill positions with late picks and Undrafted rooks. I see that as more of a worry than CB.

I think some people forget pre Henry at the CB position. Glenn is damn solid and I even like Reeves. My point on my post is that CB is way down the list of issues on this team and unlike most I think Adams will be at LT in 2007. I don't want to go into the 2008 season with no options at LT

I think it's easy to say that RG and FS have been abysmal at times this year. The LB core has had some serious issues as well and that concerns me because James and Akin should be long term fixtures, but something isn't working there.

I think we'll know by next preseason if McQ has a future or not. If the Cowboys don't draft an OT early or sign a FA then that will tell me they have some confidence in the kid. And that'll be good enough for me until proven otherwise.

Clements is going to demand around a 15-20 million dollar signing bonus. We need to concentrate on the lines, and maybe add a free agent WR.

I hope the kid works out, and I don't want us just drafting a body because we have a need. That is why I wasn't upset that we didn't draft OL last yr. I didn't see anyone I wanted them to draft so I couldn't fault them.

Hopefully this draft will be rich and Olinemen, Tweeners, Sateies with tons of range and late round wR porspoects, we'll have to wait another month or so to see how it shakes out though.

Clements should be our top priority this offseason. He is a playmaker. I would move Henry to safety and let's go...

Absolutely. :starspin

We have a difference of opinion which is cool.

You should be a coach because BP keeps saying that everyone is over-reacting and because of that no changes need to be made. We have been doing the same thing all year so the over-reacting excuse is out the window. The team is not reacting ENOUGH! When you have this many weeks of the same problems it would be wise not to coin what the Dallas coaches are saying. Over-reacting sometimes creates results and shakes things up. Ever heard of the term playing scared? What do you think fear is but over-reacting to a situation.

I over-react because this team is not doing anything to alter the course of mediocrity. I over-react because I care.

It is no secret I can't stand Henry.

Henry is a solid #2 corner. but he is getting paid like a number one..

Henry doesnt have exceptional speed but enough to get it done with an adequate pass rush. Problem is that he gets exposed with our LACK of a Pass rush.

Clements on the other hand is a better cover corner and has MUCH BETTER speed than Henry. Once someone runs with A. Henry, unless its underthrown he is burnt. He doesnt have that catch up speed.. But sould be a Pro Bowl FS if he moved back there. He WONT take a pay cut though.. Why would he??? Would you.......??

Mediocrity?

With a win today we'll be 10-6, since when is 10-6 mediocre? I don't remember too many 10-6 seasons over the last 10 years-- how about you?

There is no way we are signing Clement.

How about the first NYG game? How about both Philly games? How about NO?

Just because we have a certain record it will never cover the truth that those games revealed.

Regardless enjoy the game let's hope they made some changes for the better.

At least 8 teams will go hard after him from what ive read and so if we want him fine but its gonna cost a hell lot of money. If he helps us win which i think he would then get him here but damn thats gonna be a lot of money tied to the secondary...

If we were one cb away from a SB I'd agree. But I think we have deeper issues on defense.

i agree, i can see the team going after one of the pats cb's instead asante samuel or randall gay

I was sitting here thinking about what we need to make us a better team. Henry has been looking a little stiff and more than a little slow for a CB. I know some people want to move him to FS but he is getting paid WAY to much to have him playing S. If we were to go after Clements in the offseason and sign him then our draft needs would be reduced to 1) a bonafide, playmaking DE, 2) WR and 3) FS.

What do you guys think? What should be done with Henry? Move him to FS and restructure his deal? Cut him? Let him be a highly overpaid FS? Would you be for going after Clements?

Obviously, you are all brain dead or just haven't been paying attention...It doesn't matter who you bring in here with regards to personnel, until we change the leadership (or the defensive coordinator at least) it will not matter.

We have a wealth of talent on this defense but it doesn't show because the defense is poorly concieved, coached and consequently, executed.

Another thing that you guys don't seem to get is that players talk to one another. Whether in passing in the offseason, before or after games but one thing is for sure...anyone that watches any of our games knows that our defense is BS, schemewise. (Can I say "BS", Gestappo?) That includes said defensive Free Agents. Which brings me to the point: Why is Nate Clements going to come here and get burned regularly because we can't get to the quarterback when we rush 8 defenders?
