Buddha Posted April 21, 2002 Share Posted April 21, 2002 According to Sal Palantonio via Marvin Lewis, coming out of retirement to play for the Skins. Hmm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeSkin Posted April 21, 2002 Share Posted April 21, 2002 Sal Palantonio said that Marvin Lewis really wants to bring Woodson out of retirement...Sounds like a plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen-like Todd Posted April 21, 2002 Share Posted April 21, 2002 Teehee. Wonder how much he's willing to play for. That guy doesnt suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeSkin Posted April 21, 2002 Share Posted April 21, 2002 Sal also said that we have basically had a horrid draft so far. He looked like he was broadcasting from a funeral or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted April 21, 2002 Share Posted April 21, 2002 Woodson, I'd heard, wanted to play for the Steelers or retire as a Steeler. He'd be a nice add though to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montilar Posted April 21, 2002 Share Posted April 21, 2002 That's great!!! So now we will have darrell, Champ, Smoot, Greer, Shade, Ohalete, Terrell, Bauman, the 5th rounder, and woodson for the D. Add one more in the 6th and/or 7th and we have our eleven starters on D. :high: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeSkin Posted April 21, 2002 Share Posted April 21, 2002 Plug Woodson in at guard, and we will be set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. D Posted April 21, 2002 Share Posted April 21, 2002 so what does that say exactly about the current state of affaris with our safeties? we need to coax Woodson out of retirement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeB Posted April 21, 2002 Share Posted April 21, 2002 Sal Pal is a total Philly homer. This guy hates the Skins. He is a frequent guest on 610 WIP, often commenting on the Eagles and the state of affairs for the NFC East. He never pulls a punch when the Skins come up. He loves to talk nasty about the Skins to the Philly crowd, and does so often. Why he reports on the Skins, with his attitude, is beyond me.

JoeSkins Posted April 21, 2002 Share Posted April 21, 2002 Originally posted by Art Woodson, I'd heard, wanted to play for the Steelers or retire as a Steeler. He'd be a nice add though to be sure. Actually, he's said that he wanted one of two teams. The Steelers, obviously, were one choice, and we were the other. This is a match made in heaven, I just hope he doesn't "go Deion" on us, especially if we over-pay him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riggins44 Posted April 21, 2002 Share Posted April 21, 2002 Woodson would be a good "on the field coach", but last year he began to show his age. Still, will be an upgrade for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyDave Posted April 21, 2002 Share Posted April 21, 2002 Marv wants Woodson here to do on defensive backfield what Waffle will do with the offensive passing game which is basically help transition the team to the new scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Posted April 21, 2002 Share Posted April 21, 2002 Seriously, I think this must be a case of Lewis wanting to bring in one of his own guys to help the rest with his system. I can't see Woodsen signing for much more than the vet minimum. At least I hope not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted April 21, 2002 Share Posted April 21, 2002 well, since the draft didn't deliver any saviors, we are going to have to take a close look at guys like Woodson and Ray Brown who may be 38 or 39 but good enough to get us through the 2002 season. we also will be in the market for a veteran defensive tackle for what, the third year in a row? this is getting old. :hammer: I thought after signing Dorian Boose and Michael Bankston last year that the team would learn its lesson and make an investment in a DT in the draft where you get talent cheaply. Instead, we are back to square one looking for someone 'serviceable'. Maybe someone has to explain it to me, but I don't see Betts coming in and being much of a changeup for Davis the way Carter was. Davis is actually quicker to the hole and faster in the open than Betts. Betts supposedly has good hands, but only had 15 receptions. Hardly enough to make a judgment in my opinion.

inmate running the asylum Posted April 21, 2002 Share Posted April 21, 2002 Do not despair Bulldog. Miss Cleo just informed me that the Skins are going to sign G Bob Hallen as a free agent, to be their starting left guard. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
