do any of the moderators know if any quality vetrans still avialable. i have an idea switch taylor to SS and sign Rod Woodson if he passes our physical.
we wouldnt want to make taylor play SS, when he is a FS, and impede his development. if anything wed change rod to SS

Rod is like 40 and he can't even pass a physical. The only way I see the Skins getting someone is thru a trade.

if woodson was somehow brought in if healthy enough, I'd rather use him as our nickleback.

next year's draft should have quite a few solid d-lineman and like I've been saying for a while, check out chris canty of UVA if u get a chance this fall. the dude has a similar frame and playing style to that of jason taylor except canty's got more muscle mass and strength while still having similar speed and acceleration to that of taylor. even if your not a fan of UVA or the acc, u can't deny this guys talent both against the run and the pass.

va tech fans really hate uva huh? i was with my fellow SC buddies at the FedEx Field parking lot after the game saturday night and some UVA guy had his stickers scraped off his car and his bbq stolen (probably his fault for sporting his gear at a Tech game hehehe)...
btw- it gets freaking loud at FedEx- I haven't been to FedEx before (only to RFK) and I couldn't believe the thunder rocking the seats.

jim davis is a pretty good dlineman as well(has a very good burst towards the qb some of the time), but lets not kid ourselves here with uva and tech's teams this year. I like both Va Tech and UVA, but tech is going to be hard to watch this year while UVA could be a dark horse in contention for the ACC title.
chris canty has a nose for the ball and that shows in his stats since he's been a starter the past 2 years: 104 tackles in 2003 and 86 tackles while missing 3 and a half games in 2002(broke his leg in the spring and missed the first 2 games, then hurt his arm early in the second half of the finale vs VA Tech[in which he already had 10 tackles when the injury occured], and subsequently he missed their bowl game that year because of his arm.)

wait wait wait...i am confident that we would have pulled through that game against the #1 ranked USC trojans if it wasnt for that bs call...would have led to at least a field goal with the way bryan randall played. we went neck and neck with the best team in the country, dont count us out of anyhting

Spears is a very good call to try and catch next season, but he's gonna go high if he has a good season and if we have a good season he'll be gone before we come up. We need to fill a hole with a good blocking and recieving fullback that we can possibly convert to an H-Back and I say we pick up Kieth Josephfrom Texas A&M.
With this season everything left is going to be a gamble. Guys like Tony Brackens and Hugh Douglas (nabbed by the Eagles) get cut in the 1st go-around, and you have to figure if they were a "great pick up" then they wouldn't be cut from their teams. No one buys the "going a different direction" crap and saying they're too old. If they can play, you keep them around to help you win. I would have to say they are both pretty inconsistant at this point in their carreers. Zach Bronson was released by the 49ers earlier this year, he may still be available but isn't wowing anyone, don't know if he's any better than Bowen right now.

I agree Big C. I was really impressed with Techs defense. The only thing that bothers me is that Adibi is out for the year, but still that defense played pretty good against the no.1 ranked team. Randall needs a supporting cast. He can't do it himself. Hopefully the receivers will step up. They already have two good TE's, and don't forget about Imoh once he comes back.
