What about Andre Dyson?

kannon315 · 03-09-2005, 10:41 AM

Last year he was solid with 41 tkls, 9 pass def, and 6 ints.
Would he be worth going after?

i call it realism not pessimism lord. how so many people and apparrently the organization itself can put so much weight into those miraculous four wins is beyond me. for the first 12 games they weren\'t just bad. they were one of the worst defenses in the history of the league. if just counting the last four weeks they were about #5 in total d if i remember. get this... #5 for 25%, one quarter of the season and they still totaled dead last in d, 32nd. the carolina finale was a real legit win but not a season. edging out the 2nd string falcons? (i think mora was helping his old bud jim) beating the 5-8 bucs? the erratic cowboys? get real, it could have just as easily been a 5-11 or 6-10 year more realistically. loomis talks like we just need a little tinkering on d and we are off to the races. one free agent and one impact rookie on defense isnt enough to get out of the bottom third ranking on defense imo. and that is needed to seriously contend.

Many of us have wanted to since the Smoots and Surtains and Rolles were out of our price range, but it doesn\'t seem that the team sees it as big a need, kinda like LB.

Oh, and welcome.

Oh, and welcome.

S\'up Whodi? Welcome Kannon!! Who does Dyson play for??

saintswhodi · 03-09-2005, 10:56 AM

He played for the Titans and was pretty good as a #2 corner. He is fast and a good tackler from what I have seen. He is a UFA right now, I believe so we can sign him if we wanted him. I think he would be a big upgrade in our secondary. And he is young, like Smith.

kannon315 · 03-09-2005, 10:57 AM

He played for the Titans along side Samari Rollle. He\'s 26 and we would have a young secondary. With good deep coverage we could let our young linebackers loose.

Damn kannon you said the same thing as me. YOUNG and GOOD, two words this team needs to associate with more when seekig FAs.

Well if they insist on ignoring DT and LB then heck yea. I like him. Good player. Might be a bit pricey but he\'d improve our defense.

Exactly we tried the old veteran thing last year and it didn\'t work!
