Trade Deadline!!! (Wishlist)
 

OK so i've been waiting all off season and now 5 games in to see if we re really going to go by the our D bends but don't break attitude...Yep WE ARE!

News flash...It does break and often!

Now with the trade deadline upcoming are we going to make moves?

We got a 4 man RB crew don't tell me P Thomas can t get us a decent LB in return?

I'm happy with Ingram,Sproles, Ivory...You?

Now waiting on this, The Seahawks already moved Curry a former high draft pick to Oakland for a few picks and Now With the Texans Williams out they too are in the market for a LB!

That's my wishlist, Love Vilma ( 20 tackles ) but i want a Monster , Tackling, Run stuffing MLB

What's your wishlist, what is your take on D needs?

BTW where were we when N barnett ( 42 Tackles already ) and B Ruud ( 37 Tackles already ) were available! DAMN!

Trades don't happen much in the NFL and blockbuster deals during the season certainly don't happen (and trading Thomas for an LB of comparable impact would qualify as a blockbuster).

To me our best lineup at LB would be Vilma on the weak side, Dunbar in the middle, Casillas at the strong side.

And no thanks to trading Pierre. He's the only back we have who's been around long enough to know all the protections.

Maybe we can get Sean's friend

TE Shockey

Too late. Curry has been traded. I don't know of anyone else on the block.

I'd trade Ivory before P.T.

FA

LB Lofa Tatupu

He leaves after anchoring the middle of Seattle's defense for most of six seasons, including three Pro Bowl appearances and a major hand in taking the Seahawks to their only Super Bowl appearance following his rookie season in 2005.

Well - if he has all that why is he available? What ISN'T this telling us about him??

CURRY GOT MAILED OFF BECAUSE HE WAS AVG. AT BEST. THE NO4 PICK OVERALL HAS NOT LIVED UP TO HIS BILLING. AP NEWS

I wouldn't trade PT at this point. Maybe in the offseason, but we have no idea how Ivory will do coming off injury. When he was healthy he could not make it through one game without injury and I don't know how much being injured during a lockout year will help as far as his conditioning. I like the guy and all and want him to do well and get the whole underdog thing, but I don't want another running back who cannot stay on the field.

lynwood, I will KNOCK YOU OUT!!!

LOL

Jus' kiddin', of course, bro...

As was mentioned before, big time trades are rare in the middle of the season... And as this season continues we will be glad that we have a bunch of RB's ... We can keep them fresh, and hopefully we can keep them healthy.. I agree the LB situation is a concern for us, also we might need a little more depth on the Offensive line... But compared to other teams we are in good shape... 4-1 is a good start.. We need to win this game to get a good hold on the lead in this division.

GEAUX SAINTS!!!!!!!

The word out there is that his knees are shot after the surgeries and, because of it, he has lost much of his former speed that made him the player he was. Also he is a MLB, which the Saints have no need for.

As for Barnett, he's 30 and from what I've heard, he had a fairly big price tag.

And as for Ruud, he's a pure MLB and would've played the same spot as Vilma... and Dunbar in his most natural position.

Curry would've been an interesting decision, since I for some reason have a really good "feeling" about him. Granted I only saw two Seattle games last year, but he was definitely not the weak link on the defensive side. But I guess there had to be a reason why Seattle decided to trade him, although it could've been salary related instead of skill for all we know.

I'm not sure I would like to see PT traded away, even though the RB corps looks strong at the moment. As we know, that can change in a heartbeat and it can effectively ruin your season - the case and point being last season for the Saints. Now if the Saints could trade PT for a comparable OLB then I wouldn't be upset, but that's just not going to happen.

Casillas...

Martez Wilson...

Hello, McFly...?

Quit trying to sell off one of our RB's for over the hill LB's already.

Man some of you guys need to lay off the hurricanes. lol

The TEAM will be fine.
No they're not perfect.
Yes they give up big plays
No Sean Rogers hasn't morphed back into his former self (shocker)
Yes Cam Jordan is a rookie
Yes Will Smith has played two football games this year
No Harper won't cover top TE's and WR's every play
Yes Shanle is aged

I mean, feel free to add your own thoughts, but this team is 5-1. Maybe not BECAUSE of the defense, but certainly a PART of the defense. (and Drew freakin' Brees)

A good LB and O-Lineman is what i would go after..

Ivory could be used sparingly while building up his value then trade him during the off season. He doesn't have the "it factor" like the rest of our backs.jmho
He can't stay on the field and he is one dimensional.........I know Ingram hasn't shown us all that much yet but his ceiling is much higher.

Although the Saints go into the game against the Bucs as the favorite, it's hardly going to be automatic for the Saints.

Largely agree with your other thoughts though.

Were 4-1..no?

is it a coming out party for ingram against yucs

Um. No. You have 5 years of history to know how the FO is going to operate.

No um this time... Hell No!

If you haven't noticed, Ivory seems to stay broken?

PT23 when he's healthy (which he seems to be this season) is a consistent ground gainer and killer on screens.

The RB rotation is working right now. Don't mess with that mojo.

(muttering...) Refrain from calling it crazy talk... Refrain from calling it crazy talk... (muttering...)

Vilma is the field general for the defense. Watch how fast the defense disintegrates without him there to make the calls.

My wishlist is simple: Get Shanle off the field and get outside LBs out there that are both fast and can think. A lot of times on run plays, they simply run themselves out of the play. Dunbar does it a lot.

Second wish: The D simply needs to play smarter. A ton of drives are sustained by stupid penalties. The D actually does their job, then penalize themselves back on the field.

Last wish: crank up the turnover machine. Dropped interceptions are killing me. Just catch the ball.

None of these require personnel changes (other than getting Shanle off the field).

SFIAH

We'll be fine. Once we make the playoffs, a new season starts. All those statistics can go down the poop shoot. Remember we won the Superbowl with a mediocre defense and with Drew Brees running the show. As far as I'm concerned, it looks like the same recipe... with some better ingredients on both sides of the ball.

Juar stir it up and let it simmer. I always find gumbo to taste better the next day.

I agree, relax.

Dont think Ive ever heard ANYONE say " I love Vilma, BUT"....jeeze man..chill

With what money? They haven't even signed Brees yet...

We are wishing here..right?

lol

So 5-1 was okay then too?

LOL..yeah..i like the confidence..

Chill out?

Relax?

lots of accusations and interpretation of mal intent here?

It was a simple wishlist with observations on our D, you watching the game today? Beautiful tackling and nice LB play, great coverage i'm glad your all happy with the D, but reality check, WE WILL NOT won a SB with this D, that's all i'll say about that....TB longest play since 08 LOL yeah that'll get it done.....

There is much football left to play.

Yes, relax.
