Renegade7 Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 Now here's a brilliant idea. Both Daryl Gardener and Ted Washington are UFA this year. Both of which are proven veterans. Gardener has 8 seasons and Washington has 13. And it would be almost impossible for anyone to run up the middle on us. Given their age, i would expect them to be overly expensive either. Anyone who saw the super bowl could vouch for Ted Washington being an absolute monster in the middle. Everytime CAR ran up the middle Ted was there to either slow it down or shut it down all by himself. The fact is, even at 13 years pro he's a monster. Even if he doesn't start, he would definetly be somone i'd want on my team, say maybe for sure running plays or goal line stances. Just nothing gets through him. He 365 lbs for cryin out loud!!!:thud: Grag Blache also was the D cordinator in Chicago when Ted was there and they went to the playoffs. I'm not exactly sure of this but i belive Greg Williams coached Ted for a year when he was in Buffalo as well As for Gardener, ya he had a bad year at Denver. But when he was here last year, he was voted team mvp. And for good reason. He was just huge, almost always took on a double team and was just as much of a force in the middle as washington. I remember one game i was sitting down with my dad and he was totally shocked when he took on a double team and with one hand grabbed a running back who hand the ball. I can't remember if he took him down or not, but just the sight of him doin that just made my jaw drop. Remember, team mvp. So if we're goin to work on the d-line and we want to make it dominant, i believe that we should start with signing these to guys.

goldenster95 Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 Gardener isn't a UFA, but he might be cut soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yomar Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 Y we should get T. Washington and D. Gardener Because you can never have too many fat old injury prone DTs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prosperity Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 That would be awesome, but for some reason I don't see it happening. I would just be happy if we landed Washington (is he a UFA?) he would be able to stuff all run up the middle, even if he could only do it for a couple of years.

Renegade7 Posted February 8, 2004 Author Share Posted February 8, 2004 Gardener only missed one game while he was here, and he didn't start that many games this year because he was either suspened or at it with Shanahan. Ted just got a super bowl ring, and before this season and that horrible injury that cause him to miss 14 games in 2002 he had 7 straight seasons where he played all 16 games of the season. So what are u talking about their injury prone fat asses. Their fat asses that shut up the run, and that's what we need and can get. -------------------------------- 0-16, 19-0, skins fan till i die!!!

hctrble Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 What about Ted Washington and Warren Sapp in the middle for us. Now that would really be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade7 Posted February 8, 2004 Author Share Posted February 8, 2004 That'd be even better! Sapp is one of the best all around DTs in the leauge. If we had him and Washington in the middle, or say we had 5 downline men, with Sapp Gardener and Washington, that would be the end of anyone running up the middle on us. I'm sold, make it happen Danny! -------------------------- 0-16, 19-0, skins fan till i die!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade7 Posted February 8, 2004 Author Share Posted February 8, 2004 Washington is UFA, but ya, gardener has to be cut first. My bad ya'll. Its still a grand idea to atleast have one of them here. ---------------------------------- 0-16, 19-0, skins fan till i die!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper Dave Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 OK. No one is against both of them coming here. End of discussion. This is like trying to start a debate about why babies shouldn't drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Master Jay Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 Both of those D tackles with Noble in the rotation there would be no more running against us. Then our run defense would be tight and I mean tight. Put Udeze on the end and we're mean with Lavar coming from the other side. Watch out here they come.

RabidFan Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 Ted Washington or Sam Adams would be a key addition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J33Edwards Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 I think Washington and Gardener would be great additions for the line...I would be happy if we can get at least one of them. Overjoyed if we got both...although I think there are others out there that could be just as good of additions...In addition to Washington and potentially Gardener these guys should be available as well.
