I can get excited about Lloyd, Randle El and Carter. Fauria is a good signing. Cartwright is a great signing - I agree with Redeemed on this one.
Archuleta is the one I'm a little bothered about. It's a lot of money, and I'm sure that Sean Taylor has noticed that. There is a chance that this might cause some problems down the line, and I'm really not sure that Archuleta is that good.
About Arch... they're joking on the radio here in St Louis today about how in the world he fooled the 'Skins into a contract like that... Not a single Rams' fan has called in to say they're sorry to see him go... hopefully Arch gets a chip on his shoulder and goes out and proves he's worth it, but that signing makes me wonder about the ST implecations as well...
Archuleta is a beast in the weight room... so I'm sure he'll be back with a vengence...
But I don't think he ever really left. There is no drop in his stats, he picked off a pass this year and ran it back 85 yards for a score, he had a 93 yard fumble return the year before...
He's going to be playing for Gregg Williams and he's going to bust some heads.
Adam Archuleta is one tough SOB and rest assured he's going to leave some of our opponents hurting this season. Ice sales are going up starting September '06.
"Guess [Ryan Kerrigan] really does have a good motor. And is relentless. And never quits on a play. And just keeps coming. And probably eats Wheaties and drinks Apple Pie smoothies and shaves with Valvoline." -Dan Steinberg DC Sports Bog
i cant believe no one said fauria.. i voted ARE but i really think fauria is gonna be a huge help... im in NE and hes always been sure hands and great blocking... i bet he helps in our screen passes and gets some red zone action
I heard a great interview with Lloyd on Sirius. I was very impressed with his attitude. He said it's an honor to play for these coaches, and to be the Issac Bruce role in Al Saunders's offense.
Im giong with B. Lloyd. I just think he has a lot of upside and his numbers on a bad team are markedly better than El's with a Championship team with a Good QB... even though they definaly are run first. I like all our pick ups so far though!
