Larry Foote signs with Detroit (updated)

Well another team did cut him, so we certainly should bring him in. Let Danny spend money on him, that way we can have some more FO Bashing if he doesn't pan out.

I am not saying we should or shouldn't. It just amazes me, we just spent a draft trying to bring in some guys that might contribute as LB's and the FO gets bashed for not meeting a need. Another team releases a LB that does not meet the exact need, and who we have a good track record of, and the reaction is knee jerk to go get him. If a starting OT gets released then call me, as for LB, lets get MW back, and go forward with the ones we are building.

Will you please stop making sense? How can I bash the FO when you talk like that?

Another funny thing is that people bitch about not getting an offensive lineman in the draft, yet they're jumping the gun on a defensive FA.

I think You have a point about Timmmons.. He's alot quicker and less money.

When I first read the title I saw it as Larrys Foot Cut.

CRedskinsRule · 04-28-2009, 06:37 PM

Somewhere I saw the Title
Steelers amputate Foote

Thought that was funny

Or in lieu of the one guy who cut his hand with a straight razor:

Steelers give Foote the boot.

Masshole · 04-28-2009, 07:40 PM

I think we should definitely look into adding him though I don't know how well he'd fit our scheme, he's been an ILB in the 3-4 for most of his career.

This has nothing to do with his ability, Foote's a really good player, actually. It has everything to do with the fact that the Steelers believe Lawrence Timmons is going to be better than both Harrison and Woodley... which is scary quite frankly.

Again, Foote can play and play well but I don't know what the record is on guys who played in a 3-4 for their entire careers and then switch to the 4-3 or even what position he'd play for us.

It's like we're brothers from a different mother lol.

I wouldn't be surprise; it would be good move for Jets.. I wonder how will Rex Ryan do with Jets defense, just as how will Ravens defense will do without him..

RedskinPete · 04-29-2009, 07:04 AM

Hill is a better fit then Foot for the Skins. Foot is so so againest the pass. More a inside LB in a 3-4 D! As for cost isn't next season a uncap season most likley? So pay Hill what we can this year and make it bigger in 2010 were the cap is no longer in play!

GhettoDogAllStars · 04-29-2009, 11:52 AM

He's solid. I'd be happy if he came here for a reasonable price -- even for just depth.

If we spend 5th round picks on RBs turned LBs with shady pasts; why not a future 6th or 7th for a solid starter like Foote?
