2011 NFL Season rumblings thread

The Niners get Namdi and they should win the NFC West by default.

I see Sam Bradford and the Rams taking the division this year. Even if the 9ers got Nnamdi.

in addition to alex smith being your quarterback... youre letting go your 2nd and 3rd best defensive players in franklin and clements. obviously, clements would be replaced with asomugha in your situation... but aubrayo being gone hinders that d immensely, as pat willis is only so willing to admit, and has already.

Agree, Niners need to sign Franklin, he's a big ass clog in the middle like literally and figuritivly.

reggie bush traded to miami pending him coming to terms on a new deal

Just what Florida needs. Another Bush.

I don't suppose Albert Haynesworth will be a little bitch in New England. That's just interesting.


Pittsburgh is really one of the teams in the running for Burress? Really? Fuck me upside down.

[Trendy Bastard]

Didn't see that one coming. (Haynsworth to NE)

[Porter]

I just pray Kapernick gets better real quick. Jackson is also a bum, if he gets hurt its Whitehurst or Lineart.

Have the rams found a WR to throw to yet?

I'm sure they're looking, but it's not as though the competition is great.

Getting Donnie Avery back will also help a lot.

[HollywoodLeo]

Oh, and don't laugh but the addition of Josh McDaniels will help them as well. He's only the offensive coordinator...which is what he excels at. He's not in position to trade Steven Jackson for Jimmy Clausen so the Rams don't have to worry about his shortfalls. He only has to focus on what he's good at. Even despite everything wrong he did in Denver he still managed to make Kyle freakin Orton look like a star with his offensive scheme.

Is Amendola the next Welker?: The comparisons are obvious between Wes Welker and Danny Amendola. Both are just under six feet tall and 190 pounds. Both play in the slot more often than not. Both have good hands. Both have starred on special teams. And now they'll have an offensive playcaller they've both worked for: Josh McDaniels. As Pro Football Weekly noted, the Rams' new OC is enamored with Amendola and will be considered as a key weapon in the offense. Amendola had 85 catches last season (Welker had 86) for 689 yards (8.1 avg.) and three touchdowns.

Denver still has better WRs than what St Louis has outside of Avery. Im not sold on the Rams WR core, they couldn't torch the Hawks craptastic secondary.

[HollywoodLeo]

Denver's WRs were a bunch of no-names. McDaniels had to resurrect Brandon Lloyd...another no-name who had a career year under Josh's scheme.

The one guy from Virginia Tech... damn I am bad with names.
