First off who says we need a "speed back" yea I seen Sproles too and yea it would be nice to have "him" but Betts is no Ward and never will be.

A Portis/Ward combo would knock the crap out of any defense.

Wards stats Derrick Ward - New York Giants - NFL - Yahoo! Sports
Betts stats Ladell Betts - Washington Redskins - NFL - Yahoo! Sports

Ward put up over 1000 yards and he had to share the stage with Jacobs who only put up 60 more yards than Ward. Jacobs put up 1089 yards. Together they put up 2100 yards.

If you put Portis and Ward together in 2008 with there respected yardage we would have had 2500 rushing yards. Ill take that any day.

Ward also avg 5.6 YPC vs Betts 3.4 YPC
No contest here my friend.

FYI Ward is not my FA pick. I was just responding to 53fan post on Jacobs. But I wouldnt say no to Ward thats for sure

Ward has one of the best, if not the best lines in the league, that's pretty much why he has such good stats...

So the Giants o-line comes as a package deal with Derrick Ward?

Ladell Betts statistics 2006: Ladell Betts - Washington Redskins - Game Log - NFL - Yahoo! Sports

Ward is a fine player, and someone should sign him to be their lead back for a couple of years (he is nearing the age when running backs tend to wear out, though he does not have a lot of carries on his body). The Redskins already have plenty of money committed to the running back position, though, so whatever you think of the current players it is not in the cards to add anyone of consequence there. Everyone knows that the O-Line is where they need to concentrate resources. It is obvious, it has been said over and over, but it is the simple truth.

I think his name has come up before, but I wonder if it would be worth looking at Stacy Andrews if he doesn't sign with Cincy. He could come fairly cheap, since he's rehabbing from an injury. However, if the team sets up a contract with incentive clauses, we may be able to snag him up. Well, unless there's a team dumb enough to sign him to a big contract. It sounds like he would be ready to go by the time training camp comes around.

Why bring another Shawn Springs. McAllister has had back-to-back season ending injuries.

53Fan · 02-16-2009, 05:35 PM

Shayne Graham. Kicker for Cincinatti has been tagged.

ChickenMonkey · 02-16-2009, 05:52 PM

Id kill to get McCallister,cut Springs and his 8 million salary
as well as Smoot....McCallister can play the nickle with Hall and Rogers starting
McCallister brings a real tough veteran presence and he knows how to win....

Nflnick11 · 02-16-2009, 06:25 PM

Why get another Springs (McCallister), and we could always go for a cheap deal for stacy andrews, especially if andrews plays G and T.

Dude, are you recycling my posts? LOL.

Ruhskins · 02-17-2009, 10:43 AM

Robertson went from a 3-4 defense, where he wasn't a good fit to a terrible defense in Denver. I wonder if it would be worth picking him up for cheap. He's 27 yrs. old and he seems to be talented. He has had a history of injuries, but played 15 games last season. Any thoughts?

I don't think it'd hurt to talk to him. He's been a disappointment considering where he was drafted but he's young and he's got talent

Plus he played in a terrible Denver defense, maybe he'd do better for us. But once again, for the right price.

On another note, here's another link about AZ tagging Dansby...

it couldnt hurt, but i dont see him as being an upgrade over either Golston or Monty. Between Golston, Monty, Alexander, and Evans, we have plenty of "depth" on our d-line. what we need a truly dominant starter... something i doubt we find this year in free agency and the draft.
