skylive5 Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 do they really want to franchise an offensive lineman? 1320694[/snapback] They did for several years. (2002-2004.) His name: Walter Jones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Swerski Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 im not sure...look what tiki has done the past 3 years with a horrible o-line 1320435[/snapback] They couldn't pass-block for crap until last season, but Tiki's numbers show that they could clear holes for him. Tiki's a good back, but he ain't exactly Barry Sanders. Offensive lines make all the difference. Look at what happened to GB's running game after Wahle and Rivera left last year. Look at how Portis' numbers nose-dived after going from Denver to Washington. If Edge goes to ARI, he'd be lucky to see 1,200 rushing yds and 6 TDs.

bushwacked Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 do they really want to franchise an offensive lineman? 1320694[/snapback] Why wouldn't they? They can't use it on SA, and he is the next key free agent. I'm about 90% sure that Hutchinson isn't going anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cunning Runt Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Note to all: Edge is just not as good as some people think he is. Not saying he sucks mind you - far from it - but it is the offensive system he's in that inflates his numbers, NOT the other way around. A lot of backs would look excellent in that offense. And I'm a Colts fan. Peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Holliday Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Note to all: Edge is just not as good as some people think he is.

And I'm a Colts fan. Peace. 1321331[/snapback] I agree with this totally. I also think it would the beginning of the end of Edge's career, because he WON'T do good on Arizona. If Arizona wants to make their run game better they better spend the money it would cost to get James on the offensive line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not the most athletically-gifted back out there, but he's definitely one of the smartest. His vision is second-to-none. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 He could gbab Lendale White in the draft to go with Arrngton. That would cost far less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has plenty of athletic ability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clubfoothead Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 I don't know Denny Green and I don't know James. James seems like Denny Green kind of guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
