Sapp & Johnson
Strongly disagree. If this is only about this year's team, we don't need a DT who excells at getting to the passer. We need a DT who can plug the running lanes and keep opposing olines from mauling us upfield. There's was absolutely ZERO negating Vince in that capacity. He was unstoppable and that is exactly what this team needs. Very few Dt in the history of the game were as explosive to the passer as Warren. Just sticking to the options presented the only option is Vince. If we stuck to two period it would be Cortez or Jerome & Bennie or SeanIn the same breath, Vince couldn't get to the QB the same way either. Sapp you have to double team every rep. Vince you could go away from and negate to a degree.
You just move Meesh back over to corner the position he was just playing in Natty.Rolle and Sapp (Sean Taylor honorable mention) because we need a hoss in the trenches on D and some CB help. I also recognize we need some Safety help - hence ST - but I have more faith in what we have on hand for safety than I do CB. I think Zaquan is gonna be a Day 1 starter and we have Big Meesh coming in.
Andre Johnson and Wilford
Wilfork and McGahee.
Almost went with this but wanted a game breaking tailback.Andre Johnson and Wilford
Fair enough.Safety is a far bigger issue. I was tempted to say ST & trelle. To really lock it up and trelle was a ball hawk with lock down skills. But then you have holes in your run defense. CB will only become an issue if we match up against better passing teams. I get people's concerns with cb play. But honestly cb play is heightened by a strong front. If we get that level of production out of the front 7 the cb group will play beyond its skill level regardless.
Wasn't he playing out of position though? I'm not being snarky, I honestly don't know and I thought I heard on podcasts that safety was his "natural" position.You just move Meesh back over to corner the position he was just playing in Natty.
… and Jerome Brown was better than both.Is it an age thing with people picking Wilfork over Sapp or what? There's no comparison between the two and that's not a slight to Wilfork, but instead speaks to how good Sapp was.
