LEFTOVERS: Seifert > Fox and Fox > Rivera

Recommended Posts

Skill players Seifert left to Fox:

Offense:

WR Steve Smith

WR Muhsin Mohammad

FB Brad Hoover

C Jeff Mitchell

OT Todd Steussie

 

Defense:

DT Kris Jenkins

DT Brentson Buckner

DE Mike Rucker

MLB Dan Morgan

S Mike Minter

 

K John Kasay

 

Pre-Analysis:

In hindsight, Seifert left a TON to Foxy. He basically built his D-line for him. All Fox did was draft Peppers to seal up the other book end with Rucker. Seifert also gave Fox a future HOFer in Smitty and a very solid #2 with Moose. I threw Brad Hoover in there because how much he meant to the running game, which we all know is what Fox was known for. Not to mention Klutch Kasay

 

Players Fox added to make a Contender:

Offense:

QB Jake Delhomme

RB Stephen Davis

WR Ricky Proel

 

Defense:

DE Julius Peppers

OLB Will Witherspoon

CB Ricky Manning Jr.

 

Post-Analysis:

Let's be perfectly honest- without the additions of Jake, Davis, Peppers and Spoon- the team doesn't even have a winning record. What Fox brought to the table was some Key players at Key positions AND a mental toughness the team never had before he arrived. Fox created a Thanksgiving Day banquet out of scraps on offense and sprinkled a little "pepper" on an inherited defense to make it all work.

Skill players Fox left to Rivera:

Offense:

RB DeAngelo Williams

RB Jonathan Stewert

WR Brandon Lafell

C Ryan Kalil

OT Jordan Gross

 

Defense:

DE Greg Hardy

DE Charles Johnson

OLB Thomas Davis

MLB Jon Beason

CB Captain Munnerlyn

S Charles Godfrey

 

Analysis:

Fox left a lot too, but most of the players were liabilities the time Rivera got a hold of them. Stewert and D.Will were probably the only things of note on that offensive team in 2010. Lafell was still mighty suspect at the time. Beason and Davis were both injury prone LBs- now Davis has become a true Leader, but I think most of us wouldn't have cared if Rivera released Davis at THE time. Munnerlyn isn't and hasn't been an All-Pro corner but has been reliable. Same respects to Godfrey. The only thing truly of note Fox left Rivera on Defense was the bookends- CJ and Kraken.

 

Players Rivera brought in to make a Contender:

Offense:

QB Cam Newton

RB Mike Tolbert

TE Greg Olsen

WR Tedd Ginn

 

Defense:

DT Dwan Edwards

DT Star Lotulelei

DT Kawann Short

LB Luke Kuechly

S Mike Mitchell

 

Post-Analysis:

The Next game is the most important right now.... TBD

    • I am guessing that Cam Ward goes 1 or 2 and Carter goes 2 or 1. It is possible that Hunter goes third.  That would throw Sanders into the Aaron Rodgers free fall alert status. It seems that the Giants have no choice but to take Sanders--but if they like another QB better--like Dart or Will Howard (I am still predicting that Howard continues to creep up boards) they could trade back and still get Dart or Howard or Ewers. NY fans would probably want  GM Joe Schoen's head, but I sense bust in Sanders.   Personally, I would not take Sanders if I needed a QB.  He projects a vibe that he is entitled--better than he is, and his father would be loud and critical if things went any way but the Sanders way, and he is, according to a few articles I read, pursuing a career in music.  Lotta potential noise there.  As a "common" player in college, I would resent the fact that some players are making millions.  Sanders had a towel with a gold buffa---oops---dollar sign embroidered on it.  Almost reminds me of Brian Bosworth coming out of Oklahoma some 40 years ago--lotta hype, lotta self promotion--bust.  Again, just the vibe I am getting.  I think only a desperate team like one of  the NY franchises will take him early.  Cleveland?  Carter or Hunter, depending on what happens with Garrett there. Someone is going to trade up to get an OT. I see the Titans trading out of the #1 pick if they can get a taker--the Giants come to mind. Not sure what this rambling bit of stream of consciousness proved, but I am going to hit "submit reply" now.
    • If we're drafting a RB at #8 overall after both paying Chuba and trading up to draft a RB in the 2nd last year then the entire front office needs to get fired on the spot.
    • I'm glad a lot of us already understood this. The pundits are saying that this draft doesn't have a lot of elite players, but is good on depth. Why would anyone trade away a 2nd or 3rd round player to move up and grab a guy who isn't' significantly better than a player who would be available if the team stayed put. I understand moving up if all of a sudden there is a run on a position and team has that pegged as a major need. That's not happening this year with picks 1-7. We need to stay put unless some idiot GM does offer us a 2nd rounder to move down no more than 4-5 spots.
