why panic about our backfield????

[bronx_2003]

i think our backfield is under-rated. i have posted here saying that we need to draft a CB in round 1 and i still believe that (i think we will sort out the contracts but have no money left for any free agents). BUT i really like our 2 safties ( kennedy and ferguson) and i think ferguson was HUGELY under-rated last season and still is by some ppl.

also, i like walls as a CB espeically now he has had a years experience, i believe we need to take herndon out as a starting CB and replace him with our #1 draft pick.


so how do each of you feel about our backfield????

same thing I think...

i wouldnt mind either a 1st round CB or WR but i think the rookie should not start because he will make mental mistakes and we have no time for that. besides that, herndon had like 14 breakups which is good for his first year and i think he will definitely improve, he is the only DB who can actually catch for us right now. i just think they should all return as starters so they can gel as a secondary unit.

hmm...isn't kelly going to the free agency..????

[bronx_2003]

a good point.

i have said all along we need to use our 1st 2 picks on a CB and WR (in that order). and then get a DL. then BAP.

i did think about the problems in starting a rookie CB next year but if we draft a good CB then he should get the opputunity and i thought back to dallas last year and what a gr8 job rookie CB newman did for them.

no, i dont think so

also let me add, deltha needs to move back to CB, its freakin pointless for him to play WR he isnt tall enough or heavy enough to go get a ball. as a CB, he gets int's though.

if the rookie can come battle herndon for the spot and win, more power to him maybe he can be a shutdown or a playmaker like manning was for the panthers.

YEAH! that was stupid of them to do that but I think they had one more CB on the roster and they didn't have enough WR's so they had to move one to the WR's because we didn't have enough cap to sign a WR, or that's what I heard at least...

i feel quite strongly about this - deltha is NOT a WR but was a really good pro bowl CB, i want to see him back there next year but it wont happen. i am dissapointed that we quit on him after 1 bad year!!!

if that was the reason then you take 1 of our other CB'S!!! not our playmaker. i know he had a bad year but he has alot of potential.

it wasnt just this year that he was badddddd it was also 1/2 of last year when tyrone poole replaced him "he'll never play DB for us again" thats a quote from shanny.....i agree he isnt a WR but thats the only position he can make the roster....IMO he'll b cut if we cant trade him....

[bronx_2003]

1 - whats his history?
2 - where did he play in college and
3 - for what college???
4 - where was he drafted (round,pick)

Yea, I'm really dissapointed..I really feel he can be a huge playmaker we need...He had 9 ints three yrs ago and 5 ints two yrs ago!

deltha is a wash at CB. Doesn't play with enough confidence and will play out of position. Steve Smith isn't very tall and big either, or for that matter is Santana Moss. You can play WR small, you just have to be faster than everyone else on the field which Deltha would be.
