SS Position

Ken Hamlin.

 

Adrian signed a 5 year contract extension to be with the Cardinals back in 2005. Roy Williams, while I love watching him play, is possibly the worst coverage safety in the game. No doubt he can help with the run, but their secondary is far better than ours is and he still gives up big plays. I think both Yeremiah and Renaldo will be ok to go by training camp but I do wonder how much that achilles injury will effect Bells speed to make plays.

I wonder how he's coming along we are in dire need of that 2nd WR.

 

Hamlin would be my first choice.. I dont like williams. For as many plays he makes he takes away with his penatlies...

FYI - On a run play last night Ahmad Bradshaw was being run down by 3 Cowboys, Williams tried to make the tackly but missed him by inches, but it didnt matter because bradshaw was tackled immediately after Williams went for him.. The replay showed williams extend his arm and his fingers came inches from the back of bradshaws shoulder pads...If Williams was the one who made the tackle he would have definately been flagged for a horsecollar. Williams doesnt learn and is one of the dirtiest players in the league.

My point is he take almost as many plays off the field as he makes

 

I never said he lost the ability to play the game, it's obvious he still plays at a high level. But his coverage skills are severely lacking to the point that he gets taken out numerous times a game for a "coverage" safety. He gets beaten alot by TE's and forget what would ever happen if he had to cover a WR. Comparing him to Rodney Harrison because they both hit hard isn't exactly fair. I think Rodney has more talent than Roy and Rodney is capable of covering while also delivering a hit. Roy goes out of his way to intimidate, which usually ends in a penalty but he still gets picked on when he's in coverage. Don't get me wrong, like I said before, I love watching Roy play but our secondary can't afford to have someone with worse coverage skills than what we possess now.

 

haha seriously!!!

 

imo renaldo hill should be replaced as a starter...j.allen is still on the team?..ok he has picked it up a bit late in the season lets give him one more complete camp but im not sold on him being a starter..yerimiah would be great if he could stay healthy..we kept saying that about poole at cb. i would love to draft a ss..it would have to be in round 4-down but i wouldn't mind getting scheltz from lsu..he is good in coverage and can lay the wood..he should also come affordably cheap.

 

He is the answer to all of our needs.

Why trade for Roy Williams so he could give up huge plays in the passing game when we could just drat Tommy Zbikowski out of Notre Dame and he could do the exact same things that Roy does minus the dirty plays.

 

Atari Bigby this guy as on our team he is now a stud for the packers we are morons this guy is quick and loves to hit

 

he has turned into a solid player..or actually, is TURNING. However it took him all year to do it. Until recently he was flagged for at least 1 huge PI call a game. He just became to get good recently...

 

Hey! How about Jake Plummer?

 

100% agree. This would be an excellent addition to our team!

 

One thing about Roy Williams, his next horsecollar and he sits for how long??

and he almost had one on a bradshaw run last night that I saw. The replay showed he reached for the collar but missed it. I hope he gets a 4 game suspension

 

wow. you think he would learn by now.

 

he missed it by inches. You could totally see him reaching for the back of bradshaws shoulder pads..

 

Same goes for Rodney Harrison. How many times does that guy have to draw penalties for late hits before he gets ejected?

 

Jason Allen and Hamlin as our two starting safetys wouldnt sound so bad. But then again where is Bell in that picture.

 

on IR

 

Hahaha. Hilarious how this kid's name still keeps popping up in threads.

 

I can't believe everyone has bought into the Ken Hamlin hype just because he made the pro bowl. Gibril Wilson is a stud and is at least as good as Hamlin. He's dang good in run support and can still cover as well. Plus, he's only 26 and will come for half the price Hamlin would.

 

We are in rebuilding mode. We should keep FA's to a minimum and build through the draft. The few FA's we get should be young , promising players. This draft has several good safties in it , we don't need a FA there.

Here are a few I like

Craig Steltz, SS, LSU (8/30)
Height: 6-2. Weight: 204.
40 Time: 4.52.
Projected Round: 2.
I guess LSU has an OK replacement for LaRon Landry. I'm being sarcastic of course; Steltz picked off three passes in LSU's 45-0 victory over Mississippi State. Even when he wasn't intercepting Michael Henig, he was always at the right place at the right time. He definitely helped his draft stock.

Played behind LaRon Landry, so hasn't gotten much exposure. That'll change in 2007. Steltz is a smart safety, who picked off four passes despite starting only one game.



Josh Barrett, SS, Arizona State
Height: 6-3. Weight: 231.
40 Time: 4.49.
Projected Round: 2-3.
A monstrous safety, Josh Barrett is one of the top defensive backs in the Pac 10. He started every game in 2006, notching three picks and 82 tackles.



Caleb Campbell, SS, Army
Height: 6-2. Weight: 223.
40 Time: 4.47.
Projected Round: 3-4.
You have to love the 40 that comes with Caleb Campbell's size. Given his background, I think we can assume that he has a great work ethic.

 

Bell is a FA this year. He will also be 30 this year, it's time to get younger.

 

I asked about this in another thread and never found my way back for the answer... the Army guy has several years of commitment to the Army before he can play civilian footbal.. or do you know something I don't about his circumstance?

 

No insider knowledge however usually part of there term is in the reserves. He wouldnt be the first service guy drafted.

 

Bell's durability is closer to Shaquille O'Neal than any football player I've ever seen.

 

I'd love for us to get Zbikowski. He's one tough SOB and the can make a play once he gets the ball in his hands.

 

I've wanted Ken Hamlin to be a Dolphin since before he was drafted out of Arkansas. You see, that's the HOG in me, being from Arkansas, myself!

 

We can move Zach Thomas there!

 

Jason Allen/Yeremiah bell Depth: Travis Daniel(2 slow to play cornerback) and a free agent pickup.

 

For the record, Jason Allen did not simply "pick it up" late in the season. He actually posted extremely solid numbers after getting the starting nod midway through the season. He's also heading into just his third season. I definitely think he deserves to go into the '08 training camp as the starter at FS.

 

i would love to have Ken Hamlin Especially if we dont resign Y.Bell

 

And you think we had holes in the secondary this year. Zbikowski is better at ST than starter material in the pros IMO.

The army is considering him to be a national recruiter and gave said he can play in the NFL.
