Making the case for Osi Umenyiora

[PushnPencils]

Historically, I can't think of any player, either rookie, FA or via trade that a reasonable consensus of people on here wanted and actually ended up here.

Same thing I said earlier, him teamed with Suggs is bad for any offense. Atleast we don't play them in the reg season this year but if we met them in the playoffs....

Steelers might want to watch out!

This is the thing about pass rushers, especially one-dimensional ones. Most of their success is because they are schemed to have an advantage, and/or are told to ignore the run. You can't do that with 2 guys (and Suggs and Osi are both those kind) effectively. That is why you rarely see 2 big sacks guys thrown together on the same team and both do as well together as they did apart. I haven't exactly researched it, but I would be VERY surprised to see examples of teams with a top pass rusher signing or trading for another big sack guy and having both of them keep up their numbers.

Colvin, Adalius, Branch round 2, Wilfork, Seau. There have been some.

Good examples......The only difference is the idea for his acquisition came out of the blue a lot more than any of the above. The idea of Ochocinco coming here has been discussed for a long time. Not surprising.

Good examples......

The one I missed was actually a better one. see above

"Excuse me?"

Me, I would have gone with "Child, please" instead of excuse me.

Based on this thread, I am ready to name the most overrated player in the NFL.

Ochostinko, or Fat Albert Haynesworth?

 

[Frick]

With recent injury history, a high pick, plus redoing a huge contract, no way!!!

This year we have enough to worry about with "RIGHT AFTER SURGERY DOWLING"

Ochostinko, or Fat Albert Haynesworth?

Child please

A league sources tells the Baltimore Sun that the asking price for Giants DE Osi Umeyiora has dropped to a second-round pick.
The same source confirms that five teams are in the hunt, including the Ravens and Patriots. Several members of the Ravens front office are urging GM Ozzie Newsome to pull the trigger, but he's reportedly concerned about Umenyiora's history of hip and knee injuries. Newsome also has salary cap issues to consider with Ray Rice and Joe Flacco in line for extensions. Signing Haloti Ngata to a long-term deal would helping free up space, lowering his 2011 salary.
