GiantsFanMan Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Good, bad and ugly of free agency Adam Schein / Special to FOXSports.com Posted: 12 hours ago Click link for rest of article Now that a full week has passed in the NFL's business season, it is time to break down the good, bad, and 49ers in the start of free agency. 10 worst moves [...] Terrell Owens to Dallas — So let me get this straight ... Dallas gives Owens a 3 year, $25 million deal with a $5 million bonus. Did anyone survey Jeff Garcia, Donovan McNabb, Andy Reid, Brad Childress, Ozzie Newsome, or anybody else Owens drove batty? How in the world could Jerry Jones not remember TO blowing up the Eagles season a year ago? And to give him this type of money without any provisions if he acts just like he did with the 49ers and Eagles is beyond foolish. How can TO get along with Drew Bledsoe, he of the thin-skin and the ill-timed pick, when he couldn't deal with the affable Donovan McNabb? And I wonder what Bill Parcells thinks of TO wanting to be a reality TV star? This is going to be a disaster. Just like it was in San Francisco. And Philadelphia. [...] Brandon Lloyd to Washington — Being fair, when I talked to Lloyd he said all the right things about playing for the Redskins and being enamored with Joe Gibbs. But after smartly signing Antwaan Randle El to team with Santana Moss and Chris Cooley, I just didn't understand why the Redskins needed another down the field threat. To get the restricted free agent, the Redskins had to give up a 3rd-round pick this season and next year's 4th round pick. Remember, Washington doesn't have its first round pick this year after trading for Jason Campbell. Lloyd has the ability to make the incredible catch, but with the Niners he dropped too many balls in his hands and seemed to be a bit too interested in his rap career. [...] Six underrated moves [...] Will Demps to N.Y. Giants — Regarded as one of the smartest and hardest-working players in the NFL, Demps is a perfect fit playing for Tom Coughlin. The safety is healthy after a partially torn ACL kept him out of the final month of the season for the Ravens. Giants general manager Ernie Accorsi smartly gave his new starting safety a five-year deal worth $12 million and a $3 million signing bonus. Darren Howard to Philadelphia — Eagles owner Jeff Lurie raised some eyebrows when he said, "I can't think of a player we've tried to get harder over the past several years." Now while that might just be hyperbole, Jim Johnson's defense is getting a bookend rusher to Jevon Kerse. And while Howard, like so many Saints, underachieved last season with the chaos surrounding the team, the defensive end does have two seasons where he has sacked the quarterback 11 times. Look for a rebirth in Philadelphia. Akin Ayodele to Dallas — The former Cowboys ball boy goes home to play outside linebacker for Bill Parcells in the 3-4 defense. I think Dallas got a major bargain and a player who will thrive in this next chapter of his career. Ryan Clark to Pittsburgh — Clark told me he was looking to start, play for a winner, and continue to play for an aggressive defensive coordinator after drinking the Gregg Williams' Kool-Aid in Washington. The savvy and hard hitting safety hit the jackpot on all wishes, giving the Steelers a suitable replacement for Chris Hope.

Big Weirdo Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Howard and Kearse will be sick as hell IF, IF they can stay healthy. Now pair a stud at DT with Patterson and we have a very scary DLine next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arsenic Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Cant be true. Anytime you make a splash in March, it's always a smart move. We were criticized just as much last year, when we hardly did anything at all. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrockster21 Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 He didn't trash the Skins, he even gave us props for signing Antwaan Randle El. He just didn't understand what the coaching staff saw in Llloyd. I agree....wasn't that negative. In Lloyd's defense...he was playing for San Francisco. Not really a lot to be interested in or much reason to give your all. And he still had some pretty nice stats for being in the worst offense ever (has there been a worse offense?) with some pretty bad players around him.

Westbrook36 Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 I would have liked the Skins more if they waited and signed Keyshawn, once he got cut. The problem I see is you don't have a possession type receiver who can keep the chains moving. You are boom or bust on offense. That is fine for September when the sun is shining but what about the rough NFC East games in December, in the snow, when you have a finesse offense.

He just didn't understand what the coaching staff saw in Llloyd. I agree. It didn't seem that negative. However, as far as his comments on Lloyd go, well, a lot of folks wondered last off-season why we traded Coles away for Moss. They wonder no more.

I disagree...I think Lloyd is the perfect possesion receiver. And lest you forget, Cooley did his fair-share of catching first downs last season, and was very clutch in third and long situations. And I don't think we're going to be a "finesse" offense...KC was always a grind it out kind of team, always near the top of the league in rushing offense. Skins are the same way...can't really call that finesse, imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Redskins would never sign Keyshawn while Gibbs is here. He's too big a head case. The Redskins will do fine with the guys they have. It'll be Smurfs II. Be afraid.

That is fine for September when the sun is shining but what about the rough NFC East games in December, in the snow, when you have a finesse offense. Our Playoff Death March was in December weather. Of the three cold weather games(first two were dome in St.Louis and in the Arizona desert)we scored 35, 35, and 24 points. Weather is SO OVERRATED. Unless it's -43028 degreeswith 2380248 feet of snow falling, it matters very little on the offense how warm or cold it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlitzFiftySix Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 I actually think that Lloyd will be the more productive of the 3 WR other than Moss by seasons end. I see Lloyd as being a redzone WR threat much like Darkarian (Spurrier joke) McCants was when he was here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 I dont see the diss in the article. So what he doesnt think Lloyd is a Gibbs type of guy, he is wrong and will be shown that this year. He hit the nail on the head with T.O though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
