Carolina a potential landing spot for Mebane?

[mick eye]

Mebane is a heck of a player. He is still relatively young and gonna be cheaper than Coefield. Sign him up. Then sign Antoinio Cromartie to replace Marshall. As far as WR to possibly replace Smitty. What about Sidney Rice? Ponder or Cam? If you were a emerging star who would you rather have throwing you the ball?

I want to see a pretty big splash in FA. Cromartie, Rice and Mebane would be a heck of a pull.

What do you think matters if it isn't numbers?? Some magical evaluation based on what you observe devoid of any facts?? The old, forget the numbers, I saw it, so that trumps all the numbers.

I wonder how that works at contract time when a player says ignore the nimbers, I played really great in spite of all the evidence to the contrary. Doesn't sound that Seattle bought it and I wouldn't either.

And really who says Mebane is a great free agent pickup. Seattle doesn't even want him.

Landri is not that great and that is the point. Mebane can't even put up better numbers compared to a run of the mill DT and people are slobbering over him. He is not that good or worth much money.

Again I fail to see why you consider it such a big deal for a defensive tackle to produce. Kevin Williams didn't produce better than Landri I guess he's not that great either?

Plenty of publications have coefeild and mebane sitting at the top of the list for the best defensive tackles of the market. If you have your opinions on mebane then wonderful but using stats isn't a good thing to base it on.

I just want someone to take Hayden's spot.

Yeah, who says Cofield is a great free agent pickup. New York doesn't even want him.

[jtnc]

So he had 31 tackles and 1 sack in 2010. Why would we pay big bucks to pick him up when Landri had better numbers than that with 43 tackles and 3 sacks. I would want an upgrade which I am not sure he is. There is a reason Seattle isn't resigning him.

Surprising Landri put up those numbers on a contract season isn't it?

[Dpantherman]

All we need to do is answer one question when looking for FA DTs...

Is he better than Nick Hayden?

[KillerKat]

Landri is better than you portray. For a DT, 3 sacks and 45 tackles is a good season particularly on a crappy team like ours last year playing in a poor scheme.

Landri is a 3 technique tackle which is why we picked him up. His job is to shoot the gaps and penetrate. He did a decent job against the pass. Most tackles not named Suh doesn't get double digit sacks from the tackle position.

He's a good rotational DT, but his numbers are inflated due to the defense being on the field for so long. So comparing his numbers to Mebane makes no sense. And Mebane also missed 4 games. If he played all 16 games his tackle numbers could be in the 40s instead of at 31. Kevin Williams had 39 tackles to Landri's 44, but Landri is nowhere near Williams level.

Landri is good for depth, I'd rather Cofield or Mebane beside Mclain. Or a rotation of Mclain and Landri.

Rice would be a great target.

[klumme]

I could live with Jammal Williams. He might be old as hell but he can stop the run and he will be much cheaper than others. Oh and he know Rivera really well.

Save the money for a splash at CB.

[davos]

I already said Cofield would be a good pickup because he can play the NT position, what are you rambling about. As for Mebane he isn't better than who we already have. Given that free agency hasn't started and we don't even know who will be available, it is hard to make a defintive list of who we should get when we don't know who will even hit free agency.

2 sentences isn't much of a ramble. I posed a question and you answered it...so thanks

Mebane is not that great and is on top on the list because there aren't many good guys out there.

Are you related to him or what. You seem to be beating the drum for a talent that isn't really that good. And no he wouldn't be an uograde over Landri. No need to waste money on a guy a mediocre team doesn't even want,

[panthers55]

Yeah, who says Cofield is a great free agent pickup. New York doesn't even want him.

The Giants tendered him. Of course they want him. Try again.

Williams didn't have a good year in 2010. He had a career low in sacks and was not his normal dominant self. So yes Williams has been a better player but wasn't last year.
