Merriman is a monster

Wouldve loved it if Skins drafted him or Ware over Rogers

And passed on Jason Campbell for Roddy White and drafted Derek Anderson in a later round

alas hindsight is 20/20

merriman needs to get out of that party town thats is san diego.[/quote]

He is maybe 6'1...

Also, he doesn't party much in SD. He spends most of his free time in Los Angeles.

[quote=skins89moss;585548]Why are you trying to compare Chris Brown, Kobe and OJ to Shawn Merriman's incident? Every situation has its on factors and we should not lump him in with those other High Profile Stars. When your in the Media Spot Light no matter how big or small the incident is, its going to be News Worthy. Merriman had other witnesses at his residence who also witnessed the incident . This case isn't going any where, and the victim was highly intoxicated according to SD Sheriff spokesperson.

Maybe you should judge every case on a case by case bases. You sound like a Hater who hates to see people get paid more than you make.[/quote]

Im simply stating that MANY times society in general ignores the fact that someone is guilty, or might be, just because he can dunk a basketball, or sacks the quarterback for your favorite team. I feel like in alot of these situations people are walking around with blinders on. Race doesnt matter, there are ignorant people of every color.

Also.....Tila Tequila is a stupid slut, and most likely made all this crap up.

And if somewhat we could have end up with Drew Brees when he left SD, it would have been great.

Re: Shawn Merriman Arrested
 

I mean...those two were drafted right after Rogers, we couldve taken either of em and been better off...thats all Im saying....

Re: Shawn Merriman Arrested
 

^^ if my memory serves correct i thought we were def going cb that year and we had pacman jones ahead of carlos. so....yeah.

belicheck even said if hes such a genuis for picking brady he wouldnt have waited until the 6th round. not sure what this is worth or even relevant.

the idea of merriman joining the skins has passed my mind. heard espn speculate it wouldnt even take a 1st rounder at this point but in no way do i think we make a trade at this stage, especialy with merriman having some many question marks that need to be answered this year.

go skins!!

Re: Shawn Merriman Arrested
 

thats where I disagree with the draft for need over the best talent available (to an extent) theory. Obviously it depends...but in this case we missed out.

drafting for talent always puts you in position to stockpile and later trade for needs if so inclined, but at least it gives you both options

I've heard that from Bellicheck also, but why would he draft him much higher when he didn't really have to, I doubt he was projected much higher on anyone elses boards, coming out of Michigan

I'm just more thinking out loud...after I saw it mentioned that someone would rather have Rogers over Shawne, or something to that effect

I think that Rogers is quite talented. He strikes me as both a need pick and a talent pick. Many folks had him very high on their draft boards.

Agreed and we could have been stuck with another top CB in that draft.......Pac-man Jones, lol.

Re: Shawn Merriman Arrested
 

Jones got drafted ahead of em so that isnt really an issue

I think he is talented as well, but he hasn't proven to be the talent that Shawne or Ware are

Someone said early in the post they would rather have Rogers than Merriman

I have to disagree

Every time I see Drew Brees I think about how the Dolphins worked out him and Culpepper and decided Culpepper was the better choice for their QB moving forward. Oops.

Re: Shawn Merriman Arrested
 

supposedly he wouldnt take the less guaranteed money they were offering...but yeah....lol

Re: Shawn Merriman Arrested
 

side note

The Chargers stock pile talent at rb and qb like none other in recent memory via the draft...

Re: Shawn Merriman Arrested
 

I have a hard time believing Merriman is only 6'1

Re: Shawn Merriman Arrested
 

My god, what would our defense look like if we had Merriman at SLB. Would that be incredible. Not even sure he can play the position, but wow.

Re: Shawn Merriman Arrested
 

For what it's worth I think Shawne Merriman should change his sack dance to this.

Re: Shawn Merriman Arrested
 

Merriman at SLB in a 4-3? Really? He's a 3-4 LB through and through. He is schemed around and is excellent at getting to the QB. If put at LB in a 4-3 or DE in a 4-3 I think he would be far less successful than he has been in the past.

I agree. Both Merriman and Ware are good players and I do not want to diminish them. But both thrive because of the systems they are in. They are like defensive versions of a "system quarterback."

Well I think he could play SLB, maybe I am wrong. For some reason I thought he played MLB in a 4-3. They always said we would have drafted him if we had not lost Champ. I still would love to see him try.

Re: Shawn Merriman Arrested
 

We have Orakpo now so no need to even try to get Merriman from the Chargers. We need O-Lineman to make us a Super Bowl contender.

Re: Shawn Merriman Arrested
 

I was just saying it would be awsome. I think what we need is JC to be the star and we have what we need right now.

I agree Jason Campbell is going to shine this year do to his learning curve of the WC offense being his 2nd year. He does have the Big Arm, now lets give him time to make the throws.

Most of the time an OLB in a 3-4 becomes a DE when he switches to a 4-3. Of course it can go either way. Joey Porter for example played OLB when he played in a 4-3 of course that didn't work out for him and when the team switched to a 3-4 he went absolutely nuts in opposing teams backfield.

I'd imagine though that Ware and Merriman go to a DE spot if they ever switch to a 4-3. Merriman though was touted as one of the most versitle players in a long time when he came out in the 2005 draft. So versitle in fact that he spent time at each position in the front 7 of Marylands defense during 2004 (though I don't remember if thats true or not). I think if he had to Merriman could succeed as a 4-3 OLB of course his biggest asset is his ability to get after the passer.

[quote=Mattyk72;585777]I have a hard time believing Merriman is only 6'1[/quote]

He's not 6'1". His measured height at the NFL combine (which is statistically obsessed) is 6'4". See it [URL="http://www.thehogs.net/Draft/combine/2005_Combine2.html"]here[/URL]. I've stood next to the man. I'm 6'3" and he was definitely a bit taller.


[quote=over the mountain;585658]i seen merriman in person too, stood next to him. i was surprised how small he looked and wondered how the hell does he play linebacker in the nfl. this was a few months after the roid suspension.

What kind of beast are you then? I'm not a small dude at all, but I sure felt that way standing next to this guy:

Agreed, The O line will probably keep us out of the playoffs this year

But it wouldve been sweet, and yeah he played de for the terps...not sure if Ware ever did.

Why did we give up Champ and a second rounder for Portis...was Gibbs just fiending for a rb for his offense or was he going to bail? I can't remember.

Our defense couldve been legendary if not for freak occurences and several key bad personnel moves.

We didn't "give up" Champ, he wanted out and went public. The trade for CP would have been fine straight up, adding a second rounder was a little much...

In any case, ancient history by now.

[quote=skins89moss;585287]I'm a retired Deputy Sheriff in California so let me put some light on this situation. The San Diego County Sheriff's responded to his residence reguarding a possible battery and kidnapping. She stated to the Deputies that he chocked her and stopped her from leaving his residence. The Deputies saw no signs of phyiscal injuire to her , but she insisted and she made a citizens arrest from what i heard from a Department spokes person. Anyone can make a citzen arrests which forces a police officer to make an arrest. This puts the liablity on her if he is innocent because she made a citizen or private persons arrests. As a retired Deputy you have to advise people that when they make a citizens arrests they can be sued for false arrest. This case will not even get filed by the DA'S OFFICE due to lack of evidence but because he is a High Profile suspect it will get more attention.
He may get suspended by the league if anything and i doubt that if the case doesnt get filed. Any woman or man can call the police and file a criminal complaint that he or she assualted them.[/quote]

Well like I thought this case wasn't going to get filed on by the San Diego Da's office.
