Screw AJ Hawk, we're getting Ray Lewis...

BJSim · 02-14-2006, 09:31 AM

I'm hoping, instead of paying for Ray Lewis and his cocky addittude, that our coaches can teach Buckwoldt to do his job better. We're looking for outside saviors when we still don't know what these players can do with real coaching. I watched a boatload of football this year (thank god for DirectTV) and I would hear ex-Saints names called and the announcers praise how good they were. It's time to let our coaches do their jobs and teach OUR GUYS to be the announcers darlings.

I'd like to get him, but no max contract or nothing. He makes players around him better, and willing to teach them what he knows (Ed Reed!).... I think I would take him and spend the 1st rounder on something else.

Ok...let me see....Lewis...McKinnon, Hawk, and one more good OLB? We have the slow beginnings of a good 3-4...;0) I know I am a pain for pushin this but....I would like to see it happen.

FatiusJeebs,
I could shoot counterpoints all day, but at the end of the day you will still want Hawk and I want to see Leinart. I will say I am with you I would love to see the 3-4 in NO, but without 2 first round picks this year there will be no 3-4 in NO for the next year or so, unless we are very active in FA.

FatiusJeebs · 02-14-2006, 03:47 PM

Well...I must admit....all this talk has definitely allowed me to really see how important this draft year is for this team. We can only pray that Payton gets it right. Well...if we free up 6 mil. with Brooks i think we can have an active FA. I hope Payton thinks like Jimmie Johnson...speed, speed, speed!

I would love it! One of the greatest LB's of all time & a natural born leader. This guy is known for making everybody else on the defense better. He studies game film at his own home w/ the younger guys. This would be the perfect scenario for our defense. Well, that & drafting Bobby Carpenter in round 2.

Nicely put gandhi. I think his clubhouse presence is being extremely underrated. Sure, he might have gotten a bad rap like 7 years ago, but that was a long time ago, and he didn't even do anything. More importantly, the guys on his team don't care about all that crap, they care about football. This guy loves the game, he loves studying the game, and perhaps most importantly, he's really good at the game.

HE DOES NOT WANT TO COME HERE! HE WANTS A RING IN HIS FINAL YEARS! Take AJ and leave the ray out of it. Kendrick Clancy DT 6-1 305 lbs. is the defensive F/A we should look at.

FatiusJeebs · 02-16-2006, 09:47 AM

Ray Lewis or not...this team needs to seriously beef up the defense. I say get AJ and a host of nasty defensive players. That with a decent FA QB and I think we can go very far.

Remember, Lewis is frome the south. I've been to Baltimore, & believe me, etoufee, gumbo, & boiled crawfish could get just about anybody from the south whose lived in Baltimore for 12 years to jump ship!
