Bryant McFadden yo... Darren would get his ass handed to him at corner i'm pretty sure.
Lol my bad, sorry my mind isn't working right today.. Regardless of my mistake, think it would be good choice if things ren't going right with Carlos?

Yeah the FA market for corner actually looks deeper than any other position. Maybe this is what the FO has in mind wrt Los... trade him for a draft pick and then grab a young talented guy in FA for less money. Problem is we're unlikely to get better than a 3rd round pick for him and we used a 1st round pick originally... bad value.

Wow the Duece McCalister thread got closed fast. lol. Someone said something about a poll and I was racing to the bottom to ask if ladies came with it but found it closed. lol.
Also, I found it supprising that the Eagles fan popped out of no where. I know we get other teams fans but it's even funnier when you don't see any other fans for a while then out of the blue one shows up for one topic. lol. or better yet for a day then gone. lol.

Cards.
If im not mistaken, the cards base defense is a 4-3, although they do alot more 3-4 too. they brought in alot of versitile players the past year to be flexible.

Okay, so there are 3 teams in the NFC that run a 3-4, as opposed to 9 in the AFC. Any insight into why it's 3x more popular in the other conference? That whole "it's a copycat league" thing?

Yeah, that's what I thought. This link suggests the same. CBS Sportsline's team capsules have their base defensive alignments:

Leroy Hill and Dunta Robinson both just got franchised, apparently Nnamdi Asomugha is close to a 2-3 year deal with Oakland, and Jordan Gross is wrapping up a new 6 year deal with Carolina. All of this per PFT and ESPN.

I know this is off-topic but i really dont know why they fired their d-coordinator. the defense played exceptionally well late in the season and they really don't have a very talented defense overall. I cant think of a single defensive player who would be considered in the top 5 at their position and only a couple who could be considered top 15.

Well, I would say Darnell Dockett, Adrian Wilson, and Karlos Dansby are all top 10 at their positions for sure. And Rogers-Cromartie is definitely a star on the rise. I heard Wisenhunt didn't really get along too well with Clancy Pendergrast (sp?).

Dockett had one strong year and thats it. hes certainly better than all our our tackles, but thats not saying much. Adrian Wilson is definitely top 10... dansby maybe, but there are alot of OLBs in the league... its kind of hard for me to rank them in my mind. I guess Wisenhut has the right to pick who he wants on his staff, but unless they get the LB coach from Pittsburg, i dont expect their defense to be nearly as good in 09.
