Our draft sucked... but what's new?

i gotta believe there is a trade in the works for smith. gleason is gone. scott could be cut as well. that trade was more about dumping a fat contract than anything else.

Agreed on Smith. Agreed on Gleason. Unknown on Scott. But I also think Bellamy will be cut. So five safeties is my guess for the season.

The thing is... didn't Kiper said he wasn't that good of a hitter but then again... it is Kiper. He's on the team now so whether I liked the pick anymore doesn't really matter. He's a Saint and I hope he pans out.

i will say this about bellamy. i was never fond of this guy as a long term solution at ss. there were times he would miss a tackle that would have my jaw hit the floor. but he is a resilient little ****er, and has fought to stay on this roster, and start, when healthy....i've kinda changed my tune on him.

that being said, he'll probably be cut on monday and sign with the rams on tuesday.

i have a scratch pad where i write various notes during college games. under the senior bowl, i have written, verbatim, "harper- big pop- stood rb up"

Bellamy's driven me crazy on occassion. Remember the time he got juked out of his shoes by a QB at the 3 yard line? Other times, he's persevered and shined against all odd. But he's just too old to remain when we have young un's in the fold. He's gone.

that QB was Delhomme, and yes i remember, i was standing a foot away from my tv screen, cursing bellamy's name.

I cant believe that we will let Smith go.. It realy doesn't make sence to me unless we get a trade offer from somebody shopping a decent run stopping DT. If we let Smith go, considering the cheap ass contract we have him signed to, for anything but a extreme need, I'll be pissed.

pakowitz · 04-30-2006, 11:45 AM

delhomme? i thought it was david carr.....

carr incident happened more recently. the carr run was all over the media.....that was another ugly example.
