Igor signed with the Texans.

Well, thank God we didn't that guy.

Re: TT

It's mind-boggling the amount of excuses made for Thompson. Man, when do you guys say enough is enough? I mean seriously, do we have to have another 6-10 season? 2 more? 3 more? I mean when do you finally get pissed off? Other teams make bold moves. Other teams fit large player salaries into their cap. Why do we sit year after year in the Thompson regime and we get NOTHING?

Thompson should have had HIS ASS on the phone at 12:00:01 of the start of free agency and freakin begged Canty's agent for a visit or Scott's agent. Anyone who watched this defense last season, who thinks they can stop anyone just by going to the 3-4 is football wise freakin brain dead!

I might say enough is enough if we hadn't been 13-3 before 6-10. It was one guy. If we go into the season and the Dline proves to be crappy, I'll jump on your ship. Until then, I'll let the man work.

Another good reason to bring a guy in for a visit before negotiating.

TT can not win with some of you guys. If Canty signs with the Packers -- TT overpaid. Now that we missed Canty -- TT is a wimp.

That is the QB Dan Orlavsky

Not DE Igor Olshansky

Orlovsky may have caused more safeties last year than Olshansky though, possibly more sacks as well...

I feel used! Canty had no intention of coming to GB and he used us to up the ante in NY. So if Canty wants to be a rotational D lineman and stick it to Dallas twice a year instead of probably STARTING at Lambeau it is HIS loss, not ours!

I don't think he minds playing less and getting paid the same.

This whole thing is interesting to me. Before the Canty rumors began to fly yesterday and today, there was not a whole lot of condemnation of Thompson for not going hard after Canty. Now, after today, suddenly people are calling for his neck because the team didn't get the guy - hey, if he doesn't win this year, he's gone! Hey!

I got excited about Canty, too. But Partial was correct to warn that the price would be high. On top of that, it sure does appear Canty wanted to play in NY, which is after all his hometown.

And it appears to me too that Blank was trying to use, first Seattle, then Green Bay, to drive up the price for the Giants.

It's no more doom and gloom than it was three days ago, okay? And if people start crying about losing Colin Cole after all the descriptions of him as Just A Guy on this very site, I'm going to throw up in my mouth.

Speaking of Lavar Arrington, I'm here in DC and he owns a nightclub not far from my hotel...3 people were shot there last night and one is dead.
I don't think I'll be visiting anytime soon.

[Fritz]

Wow. What an exciting nightclub!

Turtle strikes again!

I know Scott that that was said in fun. It's all cool, but honest to gosh I hope, hope, hope that the Packers go like 11-5 or something and win a playoff game. If they do, I'm going to spend my nights pulling up all these hating-on-TT threads and shove them down people's flippin' throats.

Of course, if they such this year, and next, and TT gets canned, someone will be doing that to me, too....

[Lurker64]

You can't really blame a GM for not landing a guy who just doesn't want to play here, and if the guy is already getting overpaid most likely, it's generally not a good idea to up the ante enough to convince him he does. You don't really want guys who don't want to be there in your locker room in the first place.

Olshansky is only a tiny bit below Canty for the 3-4. If Canty is a 90/100 for a 3-4 DE, Olshansky is an 88 or an 89. The difference, of course, is that Olshansky will likely be a lot cheaper since Olshansky is more or less useless in the 4-3.

[Fritz]

And the focus shifts to Olshansky.

I am hoping TT lands him, if only to quiet some of the posters here.

Though if he helped the team this season that'd be nice, too.

Yeah I said that all in fun. I've been a TT supporter the last couple years and tried to tell people to let the man work, but I do get frustrated when you know there are guys out there that can strengthen an area of great need and TT sits back like he expects these guys to beg him for a contract. Canty probably didn't want to come hear true, but for TT to not be available when his agent calls is puzzling to say the least. Clearly if we tank again next year Thompson is going to be on the hot seat. I'm sure he knows that and will do whatever he can to field a competitive team.
