Bump...

 

[abomb]

I wish just once, someone would slip up prior to the presser when the feed is on and say something like "I cant wait until Denny takes Carlos Rogers #8" or "I cant believe there is copper in the new unis".

I am waiting for someone to announce Hunk Montenegro already.

Is he going to say anything different from Alfred Floridas presser yesterday.

Ha ha. Mexicoed!

[abomb]

So basically the draft is deep at the positions we need.

[Russ Smith]

Green spoke VERY highly of Derrick Johnson just now for what it's worth.

 

[SweetD]

is it over?

 

[abomb]

is it over?

Nope, still rolling.

I got that too. Do you think he is in the top 8 on DG's board?

A-Bomb

 

[SweetD]

is he talking about moving down?

 

[abomb]

is he talking about moving down?

No mention of that.

A-Bomb

 

[abomb]

No one ruled out at starting QB.

A-Bomb

 

[imaCafan]

Don't have sound here at work........whadhesay, whadhesay, whadhesay????

 

[Russ Smith]

is he talking about moving down?

Not yet. Right now he's talking about how well prepared the "group" of 2005 draft prospects is. I "think" he's praising them but I'm not sure he's not being sarcastic about all the trainers for the combine stuff.

Keeps saying best player, don't rule anybody out, "you can always use a guy who can play."

The sucky part is I can't hear the questions just Green answering them.

 

[joeshmo]

Green spoke VERY highly of Derrick Johnson just now for what it's worth.

He also mentioned Justin Miller in the CB mix with the top 3. Looking at possible trade down scenerios maybe.

 

[abomb]

When asked if he could come out of the draft w/o an OLB, he said certainly. The question is "Is this player going to help us be better?"

"We want to be a significant entity."

A-Bomb

 

[abomb]

"I would never make a move that I didnt believe would make us better"

"every man has to carry his own water"

A-Bomb

 

[40yearfan]

Jim, I wish you guys would get something besides RealPlayer for your hook-up. I don't have it on either computer (work or home). I can't put any software on my work computer and putting RealPlayer on Windows 2000ME does strange things to it, so I can't load it on my home computer either. The Cards should use the Windows Media Player as everyone has that.

 

[abomb]

"Travis Henry is the best second-stringer in the NFL."

"Deal still possible"

A-Bomb

 

[joeshmo]

Henry deal still on the table for the right trade scenerio.

Called Henry the best backup RB in the league, posturing?

 

[Russ Smith]

"Travis Henry is probably the best backup RB in the National Football League" right now. Said he hopes the trade can be resolved because he's a good football league. Also says he thinks that Henry has long felt he was drafted too low, didn't make as much money as he should have, and is looking for a new home now.

Seems to genuinely like Henry but clearly doesn't want to imply he's going to bend over for Buffalo.

 

[abomb]

Carlos Dansby was 25th best player on his board last year, taken at 32. It can happen again.

A-Bomb

 

[abomb]

Benson and Brown more workhorse style backs.

Bennett is fast and DG raves about him.

Caddy is a combo.

A-Bomb

 

[joeshmo]

Said Dansby was the 25th ranked player on their board last year and was the highest player left on our baord when we picked him up. Same thing will happen with the #44 pick and so on.
