The plan is to use Warren Sapp as a defensive end along with John Parella, with big Ted Washington in the middle in a 3-4 on running downs. Washington would come out on passing downs and Sapp and Parella would go into the middle on a 4-3. Buddy Ryan's son is the defensive coordinator in Oakland now, having moved over from New England.

Sapp is NOT the player he was. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that McFarland has carried him the past season. He's still good but he isn't worth the hype of the money. I am SO PLEASED that the Skins didn't sign him. It means progress is being made. Last year we would have signed him and outbid ourselves for his services. Let his fat ass block the road into Oaklnad and his fat mouth block out the sun.

Quote:
"I think people just viewed me as a Buccaneer for life," Sapp said. "They've cut another Buc for life in (John) Lynch and they aren't negotiating with me at all. I'm an unrestricted free agent and I'm open to offers and visits from whoever wants to bring me in. At this point, I want to finish my career with the right team and the right situation for me and win another championship. That last part is what I'm after.

Sapp isn't even the best DT in the league anymore. I'll take Kris Jenkins over him any day.

Ted Washington and Warren Sapp means that Ok does not have to worry about tackle for a while.

I'm so glad we didn't get Sapp. We have made the mistake of getting "great" players and then they come in here and stink up the joint. Remember Deion Sanders? Jeff George? Bruce Smith? Dana Stubblefield? Sean Gilbert?
Eventhough Oakland's D-fense might be better now....they will still go 6-10. I guarantee that! |

These are not exactly a rebuild with youth move! Seems to me they should have gutted the team and gone young.

JW.... Al Davis doesn't know the meaning of young. Ever since they cryogenically froze him he's gone after vets.
