Pick a player

Assume that you can pluck any player off of any other NFL roster and put him on your team.
There will be no salary cap implications.
It is strictly a FOOTBALL move.
Who do you want to take ..... ?
In the 'training camp' thread Toos' chimed in and made mention of Oakland's question mark in the middle of the d-line.
I love the youth and speed that they've got assembled in the 'back 7' of the defense, but Toos' is right.
We need to see somebody do a job in the middle of the d-line or the unit is gonna have it's problems ..... again.
With that in mind I would thieve Tommie Harris from the Chicao Bears roster.
Young kid is a beast in the middle of the defense and he showed his worth last season.
Size, youth, energy and game.
Marcus Stroud of the Jags (for the same reasons as Tommie Harris) would be choice 1a.
Free safety Bob Sanders of Indy would be 1b.
LOVE that kid's game.
None of those names are really the kind of 'sexy' names one might expect to see if you could take ANY player in the leauge, but for Oakland's cause, they look good to me.
Your choice(s) .... ?

Shawne Merriman damn near killed Priest Holmes. I'll take him.

While I don't dislike Harris he wouldn't be my first choice to bring into Oakland.
Richard Seymour would be a real nice fit.
Plug that monster in and our whole defensive outlook changes.
The back seven looks to be improved but our lack of depth in the front is a real concern to me going into the season.

The Bucs Def is always solid, so I guess I would take someone on the offensive side of the ball. I would probably go w/ a QB b/c I am not truly sold on Simms yet.
1- Brady
2- P Manning

Julius Peppers would be an absolute monster in the Eagles blitzing style defense.

^^^ Yep.
Peppers is the shit.
If he stays healthy he has a good chance to eventually overtake Strahan for the sack record

Does he have any QBs willing to lie down for him?

I'd love to have Mike Wahle back in Green & Gold. The o-line took a big hit when he left and doesn't look too much better heading into this season.

Pats receiving depth is questionable. Im not a big fan of the flashy guys. I would take Hines Ward. Plays all phases of the game well and gives 150%.

Rack Hoontah.
As for me, under the thread's guidelines, I'll take T.O. every day of the week and twice on Sunday.
You can preach about his antics until you're blue in the face, but you can't knock his game between the stripes.
One year ... no contract issues ... easy choice.

This is a no brainer.
Al Wilson the guy is a monster on the field and must be accounted for on each play. Our LBs are so so and we lack a true defensive leader out on the field. dont give me any jive that Warren Sap pserves as that leader because thats simply not the case. Leaders dont come to play overweight and not giving their all. Al Wilson would improve our defense immediately.

Cowboys - Troy Polamalu. Throw that fucker in the secondary and allow Roy Williams to play up on the line and not cover and the Cowboys secondary is REAL fucking scary.

The Niners need help everywhere, but most importantly, they need to get back the winning mentality they used to have. In that regard, give me Tom Brady.

1c.) Donnie Edwards/Gary Stills/Eric Warfield- ANY of those guys would vastly improve the Chiefs' defense just by atttitude ALONE. Each guy will flat out knock any WR the fuck out if they dare go over the middle, and most RBs that have faced them have experienced some of their most lethal hits as well.

The only difference is that when I did it, it was actually funny. Subtle difference, but a difference nonetheless.

"Speaking of Donnie, what was all that shit I was reading ang hearing about the Bolts wanting to trade or CUT him??? WTF???"
...they already lost Ben Leber, if they decide that Donnie is over the hill and cut him loose I will be hugely pissed. :twisted:

Donnie Edwards is very close to becoming a Cowboy.
:D

No arguments here, other than TORCHfield- PatFan will find out about that guy soon enough. Four years after the fact it STILL sucks that we cut Donnie Edwards- one of the worst mistakes the
Chiefs have made in the last few years. Speaking of Donnie, what was all that shit I was reading ang hearing about the Bolts wanting to trade or CUT him??? WTF???
Dude won't be a starter here. A backup or maybe a nickel/dime guy. Injury contingency more then anytyhing. Hell we might have Ty Law back any day now......

Make it a 3rd. Easily the first and only name that popped into my head.
Well, besides Reggie Bush.

The Bolts have some talent, the biggest questions being Rivers & the OL IMO. I'd probably go with LT Walter Jones. He's the premier LT in the game now and having Rivers blind side protected will no doubt get him and the OL as a whole up to speed faster. To me, it's about time San Diego improves their OL, but unfortunately I don't think they've done enough to date.

Nope, we're about $9 million under, BUT we still have to sign our first three picks in this year's draft. However, Willie Roaf just redid his contract, so MAYBE there will be room left to sign Law.
...in other words...we'll be about 10 mill over by the time we get the three under contract!

Given how much help the Pack need everywhere, I'm thinking they would probably be helped most by Mitch Berger.

It's not so much an indictment against Plummer... well, maybe it is a little bit... but give me Tom Brady. He's a straight-up winner.
If it has to be a defensive guy, I'm feeling pretty good about Denver's back seven, but the front four is lacking - I'm taking Richard Seymour.
