Thank you Matty. I don't mean to be critical of others but this group we have right now is just worthless. Are you guys retarted? I don't mean to be unfairly critical but I honestly think that none of you got past 2nd grade. You are blights on society. Again not being critical but you guys are nothing without me.

Him, Cullen Jenkins, Ryan Harris, Lyle Sendline, and Davin Joseph would look good in skin uniforms, however, we shouldn't sign all these guys, since we need to build through the draft.

Franklin may not be the ideal ideal cut diamond like Paul Soliai but he does count as an ideal cut. He's the type of player where he's going to remind teams that Centers are usually their worst blockers and by not double teaming him you're risking a play in the backfield.

I will not blink if this teams backs up the money truck for Franklin

Carriker-J. Jenkins
Franklin-Neild-Bryant
C. Jenkins-Daniels-Holiday

Great rotation there and our linebackers suddenly don't have to pay roaming chargers. Every last one of those guys is capable of playing 2 gap defense.

By the way does anyone realize that Cullen Jenkins got 7 sacks last year as a 3-4 end?

Ryan Harris - Brown/Harris is probably a harder decision then Young/Beck. Brown has the higher ceiling and is capable of playing LT if god forbid something happens to Trent.

Harris on the other hand is younger and has experience in this system. However Harris has been oft injured lately and only played 16 games once in 4 years. I'm hoping that part of the reason he missed so many is McDaniels bias against zone blockers but I think it had more to do with injury.

In the end Harris/Brown is a situation where you will be dead in the water if you end up with neither player. I think Gaither is the failsafe option but I think I would prefer Brown mainly because I know he's healthy again and he's also the better player.

Lyle Sendline - Guilty by association. Cardinals have one of the worst O-Lines in the league so when I see one listed I find myself skeptical. However Arizona Cardinals center Lyle Sendlein flourishes in anonymity. Sadly though I think this team plans on staying with Rabach on top of the fact that we already have 4 centers, 5 if you count Silverback (Cook, Kory L, Montgomery, Rabach).

Davin Joesph - Want him on this team so badly. Even more then Franklin and Jenkins combined. However when the lockout is lifted we're likely to see 2010 rules which means theres now a 95% chance Joesph gets tendered.
