Resign either Spears or Canty, move Ratliff to the other end, and get a plugger for the middle, and you’ve potentially improved 4 positions (end, NT, and both ILBs who will be better protected by a wide body)

Right now, Spears and Canty are in a six week sprint to see who will be re-upped.

Canty by a mile……Spears shows up about twice a year in games. That’s not going to cut it. Sacks aren’t everything, but he hasn’t shown much in 4 years to keep him around, especially when the alternative can be Ratliff.

Ratliff made most of his plays when he moved around. He is playing out of position and should be moved to DE where he would be such a distruptive force. He is too inconsistant to be a good, solid NT in a 3-4 defense. We need a big space eater that can’t be pushed off the ball. We saw that too often from Ratliff in the first half before they changed things up. NT in the draft needs to be a major priority..

but we will have 11 picks to play with when it’s all said and done so…….

He will be selected anywhere from #20 – #50 …..We need to trade our 2nd and a 4th to move to end of round 1 to get him…….

and wasn’t really impressed with Cody. I was actually watching just to eyeball him and was surprised by how often the center went 1 on 1 with him. Even the announcers noticed it. I wonder if he’s still feeling that injury (ankle) He doesn’t seem like the same force from earlier in the season.

The fact is, Julius Jones is Seattle’s starter and leading rusher on his way to a 1,000 yard season. I really think we may get/ and deserve a 3rd rounder as compensation for him. At the very worst, a fourth rounder. They also account for the size of contract he signed, and I believe it was for better than average money.
 Reeves has also started all season for Houston, and has some fairly decent numbers, tackles, pass break ups, and a pick six….He also signed a fairly decent contract, but was originally a 7th round draft pick….so I figure him netting us a 5th or 6th rounder, and quit possibly a 4th if we’re lucky, but I think it’ll be a 5th rounder…..

It is up to them to pressure Shaun Hill and terrorize SF’s O-lineman. And they have to contain Gore.

I think the game will depend on our D-Line. It’s a chance to dominate, but they can also lose the game for us if they let the Niners push them around.

I demand all out, full scale, humiliating, demoralizing blitz packages, and plenty of them….run blitz, LB blitz, CB blitz, S blitz, …..the whole package….This is our statement game….You beat down the teams your supposed to beat down, especially at home….Another week of offensive cohesiveness should right the ship…My prediction:

Dallas 38 – San Fran 10

that’s a name I haven’t heard inna while….really thought he was going to breakthrough this year and doesn’t seem like it’s happened yet…

The last Parcells-Ireland draft, has bust stamped all over it. Barbie Carpenter; hands of stone Fasano; Jason “the invisible man” Hatcher; Skyler Green; Pat Watkins; Montavious Stanley; Pat McQuistan and E.J. Whitley.

Two special teams players, a non-factor rotation DE and a backup tackle.

Compare that with the drafts from New England, Green Bay and the Giants. Night and day.

He had a nice game against the Redskins. He hasn’t had much of an opportunity.

Its odd being at a new site, but the material is still great.

in preseason, they spent so much time rotating tank and spears at NT and putting Ratliff at DE. what happened? seems like if Spears is a bust at DE (if not a bust, merely a solid role-player. it depends on your stance) and Ratliff is out of place at NT, switching them may, in fact, free them both to perform at a higher level.

has anyone asked anything to WP in any of the pressers about this?
