Eric Weddle?

[Mr. Scot]

don't really know how good he is now

but i can remember hoping we would draft him

But we got Dwayne Jarrett 8 picks later

Thanks for reminding me of that :(

(I wanted us to draft him too)

We are not going to move Martin to corner. it has taken him 2 years to learn the free safety position so why would we move him to corner. Secondly he played free safety in college not corner. Godfrey was the one that played corner who we converted. If we were going to convert anyone it would Godfrey and that won't happen either. We have several folks who could be fine as a corner.

As for Gabbert, color me unimpressed.

I was not advocating that.. just saying its something the staff could look at. And its a new staff so they could do whatever they wanted.

Starting to look like he and the Chargers could be heading toward a divorce.

I wouldn't be at all opposed to bringing him aboard.

[Mr. Scot]

We have a head coach who knows him well.

[KillerKat]

would be great to have him here.

I seriously doubt we shell out big money, and I mean the BIG money we would need to get him. He is just threatening the Chargers to get more money out of them, but he isnt going anywhere. Count on it. Plus like many members have said, why??? we have two very solid young safetys who are getting better.

I had Weddle as my individual defensive player in fantasy a few years ago. That's the only real way I know who he is. He sure racks up the tackles and turnovers for SD. I can't wait to see if Rivera can upgrade our d this season.

I don't see us shelling out big bucks for a safety, but I do think the Panthers have looked at the CB position and, with so many former CBs playing safety and vica versa, they may feel they have competition for the CB opening now playing safety. Pugh could play CB in this system--I think he fits the mold as I understand it. Maybe Martin is that guy.

It is an option. The safety positions may be similar to the Meeks' Tampa 2 but the CB play is a bit different.

And for those who say he will not leave SD: The GM said that he would offer him a contract after the CBA is reached. He said Weddle can accept it, or they will part ways. Doesn't sould like a high priority to me.
