Drafting a safety.

[Pocket$ $traight]

Safety is the last thing they need to worry about right now. D-line and MLB are much bigger holes. They will do fine with the guys that are already on the team. Just like any sport, you need to be strong in the middle. Stopping the run is goal #1 just listen to any of the embarrassing press conferences.

I agree. I think our safety solution is in house. The D-Line is a much bigger problem. We are old at the ends, weak at the tackles. We also need to bring in a veteran MLB with good cover skills.

This year our line was being blown off the ball in the run game and getting little push in the pass game. I think Andre Carter is bad for our philosophy, but we could build a different philosophy around his skills. That would require us to replace the other 3 guys. Sign a CB, Sign a MLB, draft on the DL.

Prioleau Optimistic About Rehab

This is an interesting article on our Safety situation (Prioleau). For better or worse our coaching guru's put allot of our chips into the AA pot. Prioleau was never more than a special teams type fill in player for us anyway. No telling how well he would have played if healty. Granted, I assume he would have been much better than what we got at that position. I don't know about you guys but this article does not make me feel good about Prioleau making an impact on our D.

I disagree that Andre Carter isn't good for our style of D. He did come on very slowly but had some excellent games at that position.

We need another big time DE at # 6 or a huge impact MLB.

I actually think if our front 7 comes together and our Secondary stays healthy we'll be right back into the top 10 next season.

What do you think?

TEAMS WANTED COLT BRENNAN?

Rich Miano, UH's liaison to the the NFL, said the Washington Redskins and Miami Dolphins were interested in taking Brennan in the first round of the 2007 draft.
A Miami official told Miano: "We have the ninth pick, and we'd love to take him."
A Washington official said: "We'll take him in the first round."
The Redskins have the sixth pick in the first round.

this bewildering information came from the honolulu advertiser (i was unable to post the actual link because my account is a noob...that is definatley retarded. Why can't I post the link admins?)

You have to scroll down a bit to Jan. 18, 2007. It all sounds so odd though

[IHATECOVER2]

I totally agree with you. That tidbit made me scratch my head. As if all we need to gel the team is the addition of a quarterback. Campbell is the guy, this is his team. I hope our quarterback situation stays the way it is, with Brunell our number two and Collins, the number three guy. If Vinny is smart he will stay away from qb's. I'm pulling for Anderson at #6...

Heres a suggestion, why dont we see what we have in Reed Doughty, sometimes other teams develop there young guys. There is no way he could be worse than Arch, hell he could be the guy we have been looking for. I dont know what way this team will go in the draft, but unless we trade down there is no way we will pick a safety.

He's really stepped it up on Special Teams enough that some of the coaches have taken notice especially after Gibb's gave his "we're going to see who wants to remain here" speech....he's also a hard hitter. . I'm personally rooting for him after reading the WP article about his kid. Hopefully he'll have a breakthrough in the offseason and he'll earn a spot...he's still a risk though...hard decision.

kinda doubt it. he's a bit slow for the NFL. he was taken mainly as a backup and special teamer.
