2010 NFL Off-Season Rumors and Reports (Week 8)

Well, the aging RBs we've gotten have had either not-so-great 2009 season (LJ) or had injury issues (Parker). However, Mawae had a solid season last year and given the needs of our line, he could be a solid stop gap. I would go out on a limb and say that he is a better lineman than Hicks.

This team puzzles me when it comes to the offensive line. Don't get me wrong, it's great that they got T. Williams, and hell you could say Capers is nice future depth. But, I see things like this and wonder if the coaches are putting too much trust in the returning linemen. I guess the only thing I imagine as to why Mawae hasn't been picked up is maybe because he doesn't fit MS' locking scheme?

I don't know how well he cuts but he's from a ZBS and can get upfield quite well. There's a vid of a Chris Johnson run where Mawae and another lineman are still trucking 30 yards past the line of scrimmage. I know that you can't base everything on one play, but it just shows that he's got the motor still.

We should have traded two first round picks for Galloway. :)
I read that we traded a 1st in 2011 and a conditional 4th from 2012. Since he is a free agent, we gave the picks to Goodell as a thank you for calling TW Silverback.

Don't forget a 7th rounder in 2020.

Yeah i agree, T.O. IMO is by far a better route runner.

LOL. I said it once I'll say it again. I totally believe the Skins are manipulating the fan base's feelings so when they do sign T.O. the majority of the fan base will be happy.

Rumor was the skins were in talks with T.O.
That rumor got shot down.
Then McNabb endorsed picking up T.O.
That rumor was shot down.
Now Joey Galloway is signed.
Half the fans would prefer T.O.

Pretty soon the rumor will be Skins in talks with T.O. and everyone will be singing a different toon. ;)

I doubt Allen and Shanahan really give two shits about the fan's opinion regarding any players.

If that's the case, FINE, IM MANIPULATED, GOT ME, now let's go out and sign this dude. Watch, somebodies gonna sign TO for vet. min. and he is going to get his shit off this season.




Oh yeah, Skins signed Bobby Wade

i havent seen this bobby wade signing reported anywhere yet?

LOL. I think your right but DS holds it in high opinion. Just imagine all the jerseys he could sell. LOL.

You think DS cares what we think? This is the guy that brought Deion Sanders here.

It all depends on if it benifits him. If the jersey will sell and make him money I think he's do it no matter what.

No honestly I don't sit here with the mind set that the team is thinking... "hay I wonder if the fans would be on board with this signing." But I do think the fan base had some play in Fassel not getting signed. As much as I didn't like Fassel I can't imagine he wouldn't have been as good or better then Zorn who had no HCing experience. Maybe not since he most likely would not be able to pick up his own coaching staff.

I'm mostly joking about the team trying to build support for T.O. It sounds good. :)
