For those who want a DE

DE Jerry Deloach: Deloach, like Bradford, also owns a little piece of Texans history -- his arrival was the result of the team's first-ever trade. And Deloach has been a steady player in the trenches, averaging 106 tackles over his first two seasons. That number dipped to 49 in 2004 with the return of Seth Payne and the arrival of Robaire Smith, but Deloach remained a key part of the defensive line rotation.

Deloach is now a free agent he might leave the texans. Who knows.

Didn't the Skins offload DeLoach to the Texans?

Sure did...

rdsknfn2003 · 01-27-2005, 11:47 AM

yes in 2000 and we got him for Danny Wuerffel . But why not take him back we got Thrash back didn't we.

No dice. I don't want another Renaldo Wynn or Regan Upshaw. We WANT a Julius Peppers type of player and that can only be had via the Draft.

Daseal · 01-27-2005, 12:09 PM

Because Pepper like players are so common...

I assure you, there isn't a Peppers in this years draft =p

Don't dash my hopes and dreams man...

There is one peppers that is in the making if not better Georgia's David Pollack. Now this boy can hit and take yr head off at the same time. He plays a mean game and is very fast.

Hogster · 01-27-2005, 12:49 PM

I believe if we draft any D-lineman it should be Shawn Merriman from the university of MD. I think he is a J. Peppers type of player that could really help us, not to mention that he works out w/ Lavar Arrington in the offseason. He is a guy who you could do so many things with!

rdsknfn2003 · 01-27-2005, 12:53 PM

and where have you gotten the info on him?

Isn't he a bit small for an NFL DE?

e16bball · 01-27-2005, 01:46 PM

With regard to DeLoach, he is a 3-4 DE, which means hes probably not a good fit for DE for the skins...in fact, hes probably closer to a DT in the 4-3...

With regard to Pollack, he is listed as 6'5" and 276 lbs by Georgia...now this is of course more than he actually weighs, but assuming he could get his weight up to that point by the start of next season, he would actually be only 7lbs smaller than Peppers's listed playing weight.

DCopper04 · 01-27-2005, 04:32 PM

I don't think DeLoach is an option for the Skins. As was already mentioned, he has been playing in a 3-4 scheme. I don't see DeLoach being a great upgrade over the guys we already have, even after we say bye to Renaldo. There is a solid chance we will take a DE in the draft, and even if we don't, there won't be much pressure to go out and sign a top-tier DE. Our defense has shown that it doesn't need top-tier players in order to work. Plus, Daniels was out for the vast majority of the year this past season. Getting him back will give our pass rush a boost.

Very true, I forgot all about Daniels. He might make a big impact if he could come back healthy.
