Lance Briggs Ask's to Be Traded

no, we have Thornton. No point in trading him and a pick just to sign Briggs to a megadeal.

 

word. briggs is good, but he's not a need. we dont need to go out and try to get every good player regardless of their position

 

It would be money well spent. Bulluck's best years are behind him. This would be a nice start to getting an elite defense again.

 

Bulluck is in the middle of his best years. Sure, he's not a young player, but he's got plenty left in the tank. Briggs is only 3 years younger, and would cost us a huge new deal when we already have great LBs.

 

i think i asked this question earlier, and i suggested moving bulluck, thorton, or even Briggs to MLB, but it got shot down..

 

I'd rather us spend money on Alan Faneca and Alex Brown and Keyshawn.

Won't happen but 2 or atleast one would be nice.

 

Great linebackers? What team are you watching? We have two unknowns in the middle, Thornton is pretty decent, and Bulluck is past his prime. He plays pretty good coverage, but he is certainly no run stopper. He can't get off blocks, and doesn't like to hit. Other than that he's "great".

 

That doesn't mean he stuffs the run, it means he gets in on a lot of tackles, mostly downfield. If ESPN ever shows the Giants game again, just watch his play. He wanted no part of Jacobs. All you have to do is look at how many sweeps and screens were run to his side of the field last year to know he has his problems. Making tackles 10 yards downfield racks up the stats, but doesn't win games.
