Will We Make A Trade?

[realtick]

Maybe, but I would rather have Carp on this roster right now than Barron. Barron is worthless. Carp could at least hold his own at Nickle LB and he did play pretty well on ST's.

The way I see it, he would be an asset, however slight. Barron is no more than a liability.

If we had the luxury of foresight, I agree, I would much rather have Carp at this point. I just don't think the coaching staff could have predicted (along with the rest of us) that neither Sean Lee or Jason Williams would not be ready to fill that role.

When the trade was made I liked our side of the deal mostly. We received a backup swing-tackle with 70+ games of starting experience (however inept those starts may have been...). And for that reason alone, I still like the trade.

Folks might not want to acknowledge it, but outside of the penalties, Barron was pretty decent. Now I know that's a bit like saying the Elephant Man was pretty handsome dude without the deformities, but I think you get the idea.

We really are giving Carp faint praise here. Remember, this is the same guy who lacked any requisite tenacity, aggression and instincts for the linebacking position and has essentially been released by two NFL teams. He was a decent (not even "good," IMO) special teamer. Basically, what we're saying is that we miss his ability to run alongside a TE, lol.

Having said all that, I guess what I'm saying is that I don't blame the organization for trading away Carpenter.

I think we trade Romo and Roy for P. Manning, straight up.

I would try Barry Church at nickle LB. He's a big body at safety.

Wade Phillips was asked about Barry Church possibly playing nickel 'backer last week during one of his pressers and he said no.

The "Horseman" will want you to take Rampage's place.

I have the four Horsemen on ignore. What happened to Rampage? Did he leave willingly, or are his recent posts just not dumb enough to stay in the kiddie club? Was there a slap fight that I missed?

Rumor has it they started a commotion at the Texans game last week.....then some guys got involved and things got worse. Maybe Rampage was arrested....I'm thinking "Caged Heat".

No wonder Idgit hasn't been following me around lately...

Brooking is the nickel LBer, his backup is McCray.

 

[dbair1967]

Will we make any trades this year? I think we should look for a nickel LB and Guard thoughts.

Coakley can be had for a 3rd.

I am :leave: before you get slaughtered.

I doubt very seriously we make a trade but if a team like Buffalo, who is already debating on whether they draft Andrew Luck, Jake Locker, or Ryan Mallett, is willing to move Jairus Byrd or Donte Whitner, I'd at least pick up the phone.

Who are the 4 Horsemen? Did I miss something??

 

[jazzcat22]

Don't see any reason why we should. Who we really going to get that will make an impact and without disrupting any futre cap probems. When that issue gets resolved for next year.

Oops. I lied. I don't have you on ignore, Bob, because you crack me up. But the other guys don't have your redeeming qualities.

I think no trades. I think that getting Brady and Keith off the field more on the base D and save those reps for the nickel D is our best option.

The only nickel backer out there that would work for us would be Kevin Burnett. He plays in the 3/4 scheme and nows our defense, but I believe he is starting for them now.

Rampage got banned?

A while back.

I think if we can get our hands on some Guard thoughts we should pull the trigger.
