uh... and im sure when listing the TEs we all count Zelenka too.

last year their opening day 53 only had three guys who would actually line up in the secondary and play safety. so going back to the original point, I dont see the point in grabbing Wesley to replace Prioleau when Prioleau probably will be the last safety cut.

did we carry4 last year? Nelson, Sensabaugh, Knight, and who else? I wasnt conting Nkang. Fudge and Gattis were cut before the opener. If there was a 4th guy I cant remember.[/quote]

So "not counting Nkang"? Well, he's a safety.

If you listen to most of the msg board, they'll tell you that Geo Wrighster is better than Shockey and Shockey wouldn't help us.

Good thing i know better than to listen to most of this msg board.

I'd love for the Jags to add Shockey and pair him with Marcedes. The Jags would have a top notch TE corps, as well as a player on offense that has the fire of a defensive player. I could see Shockey being an emotional leader to this offense.[/quote]

Shockey and Marcedes could be nice. But not for a 2nd rounder as suggested a few higher. No way, no how.[/quote]

Looks like a was lowballing the price for Shockey.

IMO, the Saints offense is going to be pretty good with the addition of Shockey. He greatly improves that TE position. Another weapon for Brees. If their defense can play decent, they may take the NFC South this year.

Last year, FYI...

Besides Nelson, Knight, and Fudge, the Jags signed Lamont Thompson in November as the 4th safety.

That 4th Safety is typically the Special Teamer. When Sensabaugh went down last season, the team brought Fudge back, maintaining the 4th Safety.

I hope that the jags bring in more competition for safety. What could it hurt? If someone isn't good enough, then you cut them. I just feel that the jags need more depth for the position.

Regarding Pierson Prioleau, if the jags brought him in, then Greg Williams must have seen something in him while he was at Washington.

It would not surprise me to see them bring in a camp cut or two. But, I think it would be offense, not defense.

At safety, Sammy Knight has been replaced with the transition of Brian Williams and backed up with the return of Gerald Sensabaugh. Another aging veteran stop gap player, such as Sammy Knight, is not needed. The 4th safety will be a young developmental safety that can contribute to special teams this year.

If it is determined that Wrighster and Estandia are not back to full 100% health at camp, it would not surprise me to see Jack/Shack bring in a vet backup for Lewis at TE. Tight end will be an important role in Koetter's offense with Garrard, and Angulo is not the answer. I don't think they'll pay the coinage for a talent such as Shockey, but look for the 2nd tier vet.

At WR...Will Porter's repaired hamstring be ready for the season? Will Walker's knee hold up without swelling to fulltime playing and hitting? Will Williamson's impressive hands in practice vanish when the hits become live? Will Jone's improve and not get cut (or suspended)? If during camp at least 2 of these questions appear to be "no", then it would not surprise me to see another WR acquired to the roster.

And we would rather have five or six three year olds posting instead of you. We can't always get what we want though.

We should pick up Farve to sell out the stadium, then use him as our backup.

JaxonJag24 — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 22:00:20 GMT

Or are we just fine the way we are going into Training Camp with what we have? Are there any players out there you feel the Jags may be looking at? Is the Jason Taylor trade talks and rumors now over with the drafting of two DEs? What about Terrell Suggs? He didn't sign a long term deal with the Ravens. He was given the franchise tag this season and could be given it again, but the Ravens would have to give him an additional 20% raise next year on $8 million this year. That would mean his 2009 salary would be $9.6 mil. Likewise, with CB Nnamdi Asomugha in Oakland? He would be solid on the opposite end of Mathis and Florence could be the best nickle in the NFL. And what about disgruntled NYC TEs Chris Baker and Jeremy Shockey? Any chance we may see them wearing teal and black this season? I'm concerned about Wrighster's health. He always seems to be getting banged up. Either one of those two would make a nice complement to Marcedes Lewis. Got any other names you'd like to throw out there?
