If I were Rick Smith...

[AllOrange]

With final cuts done, I am anticipating that our GM is scouring the free agent pool with an idea to improve our weak areas. If I were GM, these would be the players I would sign to the roster and why:

1. Darius Walker-Has shown he can produce in the regular season. Knows the offense. Is reliable though not explosive. Though he won't get the large gainers, he always seems to get positive yards on every run. Like Ron Dayne, except leaner and a bit faster.

2. Deltha O’Neal-Negatives include a DUI. Former Bronco, so he would get consideration. A bit older, but better at this stage in his career than most of the Texans' corners.

3. Dan Bazuin-Negatives include two knee surgeries. Never has played in the regular season. However, was highly regarded in the 2007(?) draft and compared to Patrick Kerney. Defensive ends are hard to come by. If he overcomes injuries can develop into a contributor (see Kyle Vanden Bosch.)

4. Fernando Bryant-see Deltha O'Neal.

5. Kenton Keith-Had an off-field incident in the offseason, but there is some talent there. Can fit in well with our offense, and has intimate knowledge of the Colts' offense.

6. Jerome McDougle-a bust, but when Weaver has a starting spot, it's worth a shot to find someone who can replace him.

any others?

so..you want Smith to go after a bust and trouble makers who will most likely end up in jail?


Yep, I wish you were our GM! ;)


Haha, I just dont see us being or spending money on a player. Maybe bring a player in and give him a workout, but I dont see any of the big players that were cut(Rudi Johnson, O'Neal,Lelie,Willie Anderson,Will James, etc.)

Reason why you might ask, see how them Chris Brown and Roosevelt Colvin signings went(one is on IR and the other is jobless, yup!). I hope the FO realizes what they are doing before they sign anyone after those 2 mistakes, oh and releasing Walker.

looking at our siituation i would sign ron dayne and only use him in the second half of games when the other teams defense is worn down ...that way we keep him fresh all season

My money is on Dominique Foxworth coming in for CB depth.
