I'd liken it as to when the Fabulous Freebirds would on occasion get Jimmy Garvin to kick ass with them, too.Originally posted by SkinBasket View PostWhat if Woodson plays OLB/S/CB, free to fuck shit up at will, Williams and this Muslim from Oakland play corner, Burnett and Collins play safety, and Shields gets as much time as he can get while learning from the best fucking collection of DBs in the league. Like when Hogan and Savage teamed up before Elizabeth torn them asunder.

Shields has god-given talent to be ELITE. Whether he EVER does it is another story, but I can't think of a Packer rookie in the secondary in 20 years that played as well as Shields has so far (despite his undrafted status). Credit to TT here once again to find these guys that plug in and play.
Would the Raider CB be great to have...Yeah...For that money...No.
Woodson should make a smooth transition in the next 2 years to safety, but really, he has no wheels now. His speed disappeared years ago, and prob. runs a 4.6 now. Who cares? His ball-hawking/stripping skills more than make up for his speed, and a safety transition is fine, but really it's not like he's gonna be any slower. The only thing that would/will derail his playing days is Father Time....aka getting frequent injuries that keep him out. So far..he's played through them, but eventually, he will wither like even the Iron Man Brett did, and succumb. He gets beat up alot...and still plays great CB.
I have nothing against getting an elite shutdown corner via FA, but really, if you do the cap math, we should spend money elsewhere to upgrade the pass-rush or OL, if TT does go the route of spending big bucks in FA.....but I doubt that happens and am cool with it. Resign our guys and keep plucking gems out of nowhere.....That is why we are contending in 2010 despite all the injuries. The Raider CB wouldn't really help much to win in the immediate future.Last edited by SnakeLH2006; 01-15-2011, 12:36 AM.Snake's Twitter comments would be LEGENDARY.........if I was ugly or gave a shit about Twitter.

At the NFL Scouting Combine in 2009, Wallace finished second overall in the 40-yard dash with an official 4.33-second time.

I think Woodson has had as much trouble with practice time at outside CB as he has with his speed. Injuries (esp the toe I would imagine) hurt both his coverage and his preparation. And that doesn't even account for the time Shields gets out there.
But I am not sure a move to safety will help keep Woodson healthy and playing.Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

What was the eagles team back in the day? Bobby Taylor, Troy Vincent, Al Harris, Brian Dawkins. Can't recall the other safety, but that was damn good.Originally posted by JustinHarrell View PostIf we lined up Aso, Tra, Collins and Wood in the secondary, we might have the best starting secondary in the history of football.The only time success comes before work is in the dictionary -- Vince Lombardi

The Raiders with Haynes and Hayes and that Eagle secondary with Bobby Tasylor and Troy Vincent are two great ones.Originally posted by bobblehead View PostWhat was the eagles team back in the day?

The Lombardi Packers with Herb, Willie Wood, and Bob Jeter are the other benchmark, IMHO.
