My Defensive Makeover

I would like to play GM here and Makeover our defense here is what I would do with each position:

DT: I would draft Alan Branch I think he could come in and make in impact right away for us, I would keep Griffin as our other starter, and I would also like to groom Golston to become our starter once Griffin leaves. I would rotate Salava'e, and Montgomery.

DE: I would like to sign Justin Smith from the Bengals to become our starter at LDE, I would keep Andre Carter our starter at RDE, I would draft a DE as a project in the later rounds maybe Justin Hickman from UCLA, and Daniels and Evans would make a good rotation here.

LB: I would like to sign either Kawika Mitchell, Lance Briggs, or Adalius Thomas to come in and play MLB, I would keep Marcus Washington at SLB, and start Rocky McIntosh at WLB. Lemar Marshall and Khary Campbell would rotate and serve as backups.

CB: I like Shawn Springs and Carlos Rogers as our starters here for one more year I think the changes made up front will greatly improve their play. I would keep Kenny Wright and Ade Jimoh to serve as backups, and maybe draft C.J. Gaddis from Clemson in the draft, but I think in 2008 we will have to look at signing or drafting somebody to take over for Springs.

S: I would have Sean Taylor start at FS, and I would sign Ken Hamlin from the Seahawks to come in and start at SS I think Taylor and him would get along greatly with Hamlin being our new Ryan Clark. I would keep Prioleau, Fox, and Doughty as backups.

Re: My Defensive Makeover

that's a lot of free agent signings for a team that is projected $1 million under the cap.

Re: My Defensive Makeover

Well the free agent signings that I would make would be Kawika Mitchell at MLB, Justin Smith at DE, and Ken Hamlin at SS, I think we can make this happen we always seem to be able to get free agent signings done, and I don't think these players will be commanding huge money.

Re: My Defensive Makeover

This could work....if we go arena football style and have players play both offense and defense. Taylor at WR/S. Washington at FB/LB, etc.

Re: My Defensive Makeover

I wonder if it'll come down to a Smith or Clements decision. I'll say Clements if that's what we have to choose from.

Re: My Defensive Makeover

I've been hearing a lot about Lance Briggs -- there was a short piece on him the other day on NFL Network. Very underrated, in the shadow of Urlacher, but quietly has a huge impact for the Bears D.

He'll command top dollar, no doubt -- and if I'm wrong, the Skins will offer him double.

How about Jared Allen? I still haven't forgotten his 3 sack 2 forced fumble game against us last year. He has a tremendous motor and I believe is also a FA.

i expect many players to restructure and some guys to be released to free up cap room. the fletcher signing is dependant on how much he wants

Re: My Defensive Makeover

maybe to teach a few tricks of the trade from the nfl to the drafted d line maybe get Warren Sapp and Randy Moss (#1 reciever we need a true one) for Clinton Portis and archuleta brandon loyd?
cant release archuleta cause itll cost 8 mil against next years cap so hes trade bait, betts fits better with the coordinater we have now raiders need a RB. and loyd cause raiders would need a WR if traded.
sapp was with the RAIDERS hes proven to be awesome defensive player alot better than fat man salavea and griffen the joke. maybe even switch to the 3/4. fire gregg williams and if cowher leaves pitt get him as a defensive coach. hes proven he can handle injuries astill have a good defense.they gotta shake up alot of stuff itll make people think i gotta do alot better or im GONE!!!

for other defensive peeps like linebackers and our sucky corners
free agent nobodies and drafties.move sean taylor 2 FS he cant cover worth crap,latly hes been in position to stop the play and hasnt done the job out of position and everyting when did he go from almost probowl to this??? put him through some drills or something. fox is a keeper 1st day on the job and already impresses me and im very skeptical,shawn aint worth the money he gets most of them folks are OVERPAYED!!!! big namers anybody? heck no cause they get all that money and do nothing!!!!! nobodies play harder and have to so they get another contract
once we get over the big name illusion and stick with nobodies we'll be just fine.

Re: My Defensive Makeover

Smith is gonna cost too much, we just can't afford to be signing free agents this year, it's just gonna kill us even more down the road. We gotta take our licks now, and recover later on, so we can get out of this mess that we are in.
