Don't forget we still have Howard who will see the field from time to time. Scott proved he's worthy of being an every down player and was surprisingly not a liability in any situation. Scott, if I'm not mistaken, ran a 4.6 coming out of UB and is quite fluid in space.

He's got a great frame. It's remarkable how he went from a solid pass rushing end to our best LB in a few weeks.

Well, he was a TE during most of his Buffalo career. Dude can move.

[RaiderNation]

Still to many drops from our WRs

[EvilNixon]

Watching practices???

[RaiderNation]

From the reports Im reading it seems like it.

[EvilNixon]

Meh. DHB dropping any?

Ya but they said he looks better from last year though.

[RaiderNation]

Seymour hasnt signed a contract yet but sources say things are moving in the right direction and theres a good chance he will show up for practice tomarrow

Ah, the cut blocking, dive at knee-level drill . . . yep, zone system will still have its place

Well there you go, although I guess Campbell playing RG in the 2nd team should have been the most obvious tipoff.

IDK if there is any truth to this but Adam Shefter said there is a rumor of Nnamdi to Baltimore?

You said strictly rumor about Nmandi to BLT but heard it again from Ravens employee. Still hearing nothing? ... Not happening.

I wonder what we'd get in return? Suggs? Ngata? Maybe I'm dreaming.

first round draft pick? Wouldnt even want to do that. We cant start our secondary over Id be pissed. Ngata would be insane but unrealistic Suggs maybe but we have too many LBS and DEs right now as it is. Give us Gaither and Fox, or Webb?

[EvilNixon]

I wouldn't be mad with Jared Gaither and a 2nd..

I would. Before the draft, before we took Veldheer and Campbell, maybe I would have bought into it. But Gaither is a UFA after this season and if you ask me who I'd rather have one year of, it's Asomugha by a ******* mile.

Gaither would step in and give us the best LT we've had in a very long time. It takes a ton of pressure off Veldheer to develop faster. Not to mention he's younger so locking him up long term would be a great idea.

[SwagU]

I would rather start one of our current LT's then trade away Nnamdi, and have to start one of our other CB's. I think Nnamdi's value to our team completely trumps Gaither's. IDK about any of you, but I still think there is a good chance we can sign Aso long term. We are atleast showing we have a want to win now attitude, and that is one thing that he really wanted the franchise to show him.

[EvilNixon]

We're not going to win in his prime, and he's just going to be another overpaid over the hill player. Why not get a great young LT and a draft pick? Gaither would be a huge piece to the puzzle on O.

Agreed. And Evilnixon you make a great point but drafting 2 OL plays a huge roll in this. I want Aso and we could go to the playoffs while he is here, it is about coaching and drive for success, the talent is there obviously. Like I said I would want a huge package.. something like Gaither, Webb and a 3rd or4th.

[EvilNixon]

I just don't believe Veldheer or Campbell will be as good as Gaither is right now, and he's only 24 years old. I think I value lineman more than most, but this is a blue chip player and can solidify our LT spot for 10 years. I can't pass that up, but Al can and will.

O I agree I just think drafting two makes it harder to believe we make a move like trading him.

[EvilNixon]

I agree it won't happen, but it should. Let the other 2 develop, then trade em later on. I wish we would've went G or NT instead of going for 2 tackles that are so far away from contributing.
