They can't do anything if they can't throw the ball. And they can't.

Hey, if the Jets continue to try to resurrect HoF QBs, why not bring back Broadway Joe?

I guess Ray Lewis is not going to Dallas. They signed Kieth Brooking. Ray will end up back in Baltimore.

They also signed Jon Kitna so Detroit must be building around Donte.

Housh went to Seattle and is now visiting Minnesota then Philly.

6'3 240...former 2nd round pick sounds like Torbor may be history. KB looks like a ST's guy and 3rd down LB who could push Ayodele but be cheaper than Torbor.

I've read that his listed weight of 240 is more than he really weighs. He also hasn't been able to stay healthy. And he's a former 2nd rd pick who has not become a starter during a 4 year NFL career. He had some success blitzing as an OLB last year. He could figure as competition for Roth and Wake outside, but doesn't sound like an ILB at all.

I think Torbor's days are numbered anyway. He's a waste of money.

When anybody who isn't on the D-Line rushes, it's a blitz.

Exactly right.

"When you suck long enough, you get a Hickey"

not in a 3-4. The WOLB is the designated pass rusher.

not necessarily....he can step back into coverage all he wants. Happens all the time.

"When you suck long enough, you get a Hickey"

but then the SOLB usually rushes. Usually 4 people are rushing the passer. Any more than that and it is a blitz.

It is interesting that the Dolphins have been in the back of all the attention this free agent period but I think we made the biggest splash so far. Not with a ridiculous contract signings like Haynesworth but for preparing for the 2009 season.

So far we have signed...

1. one of the top two tackles on the market.
2,3. TWO of the top three safeties.
4. one of the top 5 LB'ers.
5. a back up lineman.

One move I wish we would have made is signing Lito Sheppard for 3 million a year like the Jets did. He gets a one year tryout with the Jets for bottom dollar.

I realize that but I never said he was a free agent. A 27 year old, two time Pro Bowl, starting CB from U of Florida for a late second day pick plus conditional...not a bad deal.
