Strief could probably step in...does everything else

Don't care at all about getting you mad and that's my opinion and it lunacy for you to think it won't happen. Look at the draft so far

Re: Saints Select C Matt Tennant w/#158
 

canton; the problem with your position is it does not match the Saints FO. They speak often about versitility!

There are more cases than just Nicks.

All that being said, I like the Tennant pick.

Re: Saints Select C Matt Tennant w/#158
 

Trading a Pro Bowl LT for an Outside Linebacker isn't lunacy as much as it is just plain stupid. You don't want to come off as stupid do you?

I've already told you Haynesworth isn't happening. Is it that you just don't believe that I know what I'm talking about or that your deaf?

a bit more detail about Tennant. Note; "Tennant has had just 1.5 quarterback sacks and two pressures registered against him in his last two seasons."


from cbs sports
Overview
Comparing Tennant to active NFL centers, professional scouts can see parts of many players -- the intelligence of Matt Birk (Baltimore), the tenaciousness of Olin Kreutz (Chicago), the trap-blocking ability of Brad Meester (Jacksonville) and the consistent effort of Jeff Saturday (Indianapolis).

Older scouts also see the aggressive and combative nature of Tim Grunhard (ex-Kansas City), the explosiveness off the snap of Dwight Stephenson (ex-Miami), the field vision of Jim Langer (ex-Miami) and the hand placement ability of Jay Hilgenberg (ex-Chicago). With all of those skills combined into one player, it is no small wonder than many talent evaluators regard the Boston College blocker as one of the elite prospects at his position heading into the 2010 NFL Draft.

Since taking over the center position as a sophomore, what once was a revolving door for defensive linemen to get to BC quarterbacks (from 2002-06, Eagles centers had allowed a total of 34 sacks) has all but shut down, as Tennant has had just 1.5 quarterback sacks and two pressures registered against him in his last two seasons. To further impress upon his importance to the Eagles' offensive success, during those last 27 contests, his fellow line-mates have given up 41 sacks along with 36 pressures.

Tennant was a highly regarded prospect during his playing days at powerhouse Arch-bishop Moeller High School. The Super Prep All-American added All-State honors from the Associated Press as a senior in 2004. He was also named to the All-Southwest Ohio, All-District and All-City first-team squads.

So you wouldn't trade a JB for a pro bowl OLB, now in my book thats just plain stupid if that's what you need. I don't care who you think you are but if you ain't coach you don't know.

Re: Saints Select C Matt Tennant w/#158
 

defense is a bit different than offense but i agree that there are a ton of examples of it working out........thats just my personal opinion that players that play a position in college should project to that same position in the pros

technically he can be deaf and still be able to read

Re: Saints Select C Matt Tennant w/#158
 

thats high praise for a 5th round pick

hopefully he pans out

Re: Saints Select C Matt Tennant w/#158
 

now that's some funny ****e right there! roflmao

Re: Saints Select C Matt Tennant w/#158
 

No team is going to trade a Pro Bowl Outside Linebacker for a player coming off of season ending injury. Who is this mystery SAM Pro Bowl Linebacker out there that is on the trading blocks???

You understand how trading works right??

Your Haynesworth comment made a lot more sense, but I've heard from enough people now that I KNOW for a fact that the Saints want no part of his contract. I'm not a coach and I DO KNOW. I could probably fill the Grand Canyon with all of the information you don't know however.
