Loomis on trading down interest

FatiusJeebs · 03-27-2006, 12:32 PM

What a predicament....on one hand we need a good o-line....especially with Brees at the helm. We NEED to protect that shoulder. But...like I have said in many other threads.....a good D will get you places. I think we should get Hawk also. The way I see it....a tenacious D does not only produce results in the game itself....it also plays with the minds of opposing QB's and offenses. I remember the Saints-Dolphins game of '89. Marino was blitzed time and time again. Pass coverage was so tight it was ridiculous. All that pressure forced Marino to make some bad passes. You could see he was shaken. A guy like Hawk can bring that kind of intimidation to our defense.

I almost want to flip a coin to resolve this one.

Sign Arrington, that will take care of an intimidating force on defence. Then, draft brick first and next draft Mangold. After that go after cornerbacks for the rest of the draft.

You know......if he does not get released until draft day...I think trading our spot with the packers along with J. Walker does not sound so bad anymore huh?
