Probably the moderator's Zone barbeque at Reality's house.

I dunno about the other guys but I felt kinda uncomfortable watching Winicki run through the spinkler in his plaid shorts and "I Love Reality" t-shirt. And that high pitched giggle of his didn't help. :eek:

Other than that, I'm not sure how Ritz crackers with Chez Whiz qualifies as a "barbeque"

But we almost taught Hos how to tap his foot to music...although Reality's "Don Ho sings the Classics" CD was a bit of a distraction.

I can't wait 'til the Christmas party.
:eek:

Exactly. I wanted to take Jason Jefferson on day two for depth. If Ferguson goes down or is ineffective, we're back to where we were before. That was mistake we made last year with Marcellus Wiley, not drafting a youngster to back him up in case he didn't work out. We seem to assume that just because sign someone, they'll automatically work out. That's why I wanted to draft in conjunction with the Henry signing. This way we'd have competent veterans to hold down the fort until the youngsters are ready. Aaron Glen adds depth, but he want help us in the future.

The difference between Ferguson and Wiley is that Ferguson produced last season, and the season before, etc. Wiley had been going colder and colder for 2 seasons.

I don't fear that Ferguson won't work out, rather his health. I would just like to have a nother 1 technique tackle on the roster.

Sign Boulware. Cut Singleton. Could still happen? :pray2:
boulware hasn't played in a year you can't expect him to still be as good as he once was

I agree with you on the Bledsoe part, but Henson is relearning football. Guys like him almost never work out. That's why udfa Romo is second on the depth chart on just about any publication you can find. Our scouts should focused on getting us a real QB in the draft next year.

More BS, prove it.

Romo is listed 2nd at Fox, on a depth chart that has Singleton and Dat starting at OLB in the 3-4, Ellis at LDE, Coleman at RDE, and what would be an inactive Henson as the first team holder.

Every publication I've seen, and I've looked at Lindy's, PFW, and the Sporting News, and all talk about Bledsoe holding down the fort for Henson.

Too bad Romo didn't finish the season there.

Which player aren't we drafting to make this happen?

Every player we took filled a major need, yep great idea, let's draft for depth and not have any starters at DE or OLB.:rolleyes:

Hard to complain as who knew at the time....but If I knew we were going to get ATrain....I think I would have looked at what WRs were available in the 4th over Barber (don't get me wrong I really wanted barber at the time).

Once again that is with the idea that we knew we would get A-Train down the road....without knowing that at the time then the Barber pick was fine with me.

Nope, at least Nors knows about football and what he makes up is all stuff that could happen, Kartr makes up stuff that he claims did happen that didn't.

I think we had a very simple plan. We thought DL, DS, LB and back up RB were our biggest needs and we loaded up at those spots by adding possible starters and depth.

I think we will do the same next year at WR and DT.

What's it going to be then, eh?

  • Given the back injury to Rivera and our inability to get a RT in the draft - I would have signed Mike Wahle, who can play G and T.
  • Given the fact we were able to get Aaron Glenn - I would have gone after a FS harder than a RCB (Darren Sharper). I think we might regret paying Henry the type of money we balked at paying last year. I don't think he is that great.
  • If I knew we would get Anthony Thomas - I would have drafted OG Elton Brown or WR Jerome Mathis in the 4th round. Barber is okay, but I don't know if he is going to be special and help us right away. I also would have liked Sproles if I knew that Thomas was going to come aboard.
I am sure there are more, but those come to mind immediately.

I don't think they new Atrain was going to be there for them or that he would sign with them.....or I think they would have went in a different direction with that 4th round pick (barber)....I am not complaining about it so don't get me wrong there....but if there was one thing that could be changed (as the question was asked) if I knew about ATrain coming on I would hope they would have looked for a WR or another position with that pick..

No big deal as it is only a what if scenario. :cool:

I don't think we would have done it any differently, though.

We had zip at RB last year without Jones, EG had nothing left, Lee had trust issues and Anderson got hurt. None are back, so we had 3 holes at RB to fill.

A-Train takes on that vet experience void and Barber seems to be our 3rd down back, in a sense they are combining to replace Anderson.

If we had more picks I'd have taken a WR and big DT for sure, but I would not change who we drafted in the 2nd thru 7th to do it.

But remember the night I took all you guys out for fish-frys?

Brain thought he got drunk from the fish because he ordered it "beer battered"... what a maroon!

And every time a bus came by you wanted Trick to go outside with you...

You might be right...however I think they may have went with a different type of RB later in the draft...more of a shifty speed back ala sproles.

But either way I am not complaining at all as I liked barber going into the draft.

Yeah, I kept saying to trick "Hey, I think I hear the Good Humor Man. Quick, let's go outside and buy a popsicle"

BP had a fish hangover the next day...he was upset with you...he kept saying "I've haddock with Winicki"

:)

LOL!

Brain doesn't have haddock down in WV. They just take a pig, toss it in water, pull it out and call it "fish".
