What would you trade for secondary help?

I would trade Duckett for Ryan Clark.

I'm still willing to give guys like Rumph and Wright more time to get up to speed. Plus Rogers is still developing.

Our secondary needs help, but we need someone that already knows the system or a trade is pointless. The Steelers need Duckett. We need help in the secondary. The Steelers would be getting the better deal, but it still may be a deal that would work for us.

Thoughts?

Ryan Clark is under contract with the Steelers and I haven't heard anything about them considering trading him. Trade talk is easy, but often time difficult to pull off in the league. TJ is a free agent at the end of this season, any trade involving him or Betts (who incidently is in the same situation) would require more than just a notion. We had the opportunity to retain Clark before he departed and chose to spend considerably more to upgrade the position, We could have kept him for much less than we're paying Arch. Further, I think that with a little more time, the players we have here will pan out, we're going through a few growing pains now because we have three new starters working in the defense and there's a process they have to go through to get better. I believe they will.

Not really sure why we traded for TJ Duckett, espicially since you don't need a day 1 draft pick to get a guy of that quality at RB. Coulda had a lineman with that choice.

With that said, I doubt we will trade Duckett, and I expect him to get more involved in the offense as we go along. He's a pretty damn good 3rd RB.

The Steelers are not going to trade clark to us . Besides , no way Dan and Vinny make that trade , then bench the highest paid safety in football ; and admit that they f'd up . Maybe trade Duckett for a corner , but I would not bet on a team trading a good cover corner now . I just hope if our db's improve soon ! And if we still have problems covering throughout the season , someone tell Vinny ,,, NOT to go out and bring in some f/a bum of a corner and give him a 10 million dollar signing bonus

For secondary help I would trade Derek Smith, Jeff Ulbrich, Kwame Harris, Taylor Jacobs, Sammy Davis and Chris Hetherington. Garbage...

Derek Smith? Is he that bad? It's amazing he stuck around this long. I know one thing for sure, we never take back what we tossed. That would make us Indian givers.

Yes he is that bad I have no idea how that POS has stayed around. Maybe because he has a beautiful soul and Mike Nolan has a man crush on him?

Redskin · 10-07-2006, 09:51 PM

id trade betts cuase he shows so much promise we could possible get a better corner, i kno thats horrible becuase betts is my man.

Besides i think our secoundary is looking better and the situation isnt as dire as you guys make it seem

Sammy Davis is a POS corner that is a Chargers 1st round bust. We traded Rashaun Woods who is a bigger POS for him.

What needs to happen is S. Springs needs to get back on the field soon before this season is lost. I like Rumph more than Wright and the other guy we have playing corner. However Rogers has been a bit of a disapointment this year. Arch has been playing better here of late but, he still has a ways to go. As of now for what we payed for this guy we have not gotten a good return. The contract that this guy signed really scares me when S. Taylors contract is due for negotiation. Taylor is a guy we need back there handling buisness. But, all in all I think that the players we have back in the secondary will be fine. Once Springs comes back, it should give the defense a lift similar to when Portis came back. No more loses from here on out.
