Well, if your going to lay a statement like that out there, you might as well give your thoughts as to why Sapp coming here wouldnt be a good thing.

PBurnt...I'm assuming your talking about Buchanon. So, does this mean you think he sucks now cause he had his initiation into the league last year? I won't disagree, he did get burnt, but he also comes up with huge plays. Let me ask you this, after last year's performance, would u trade or cut Buchanon?

If Sapp can back up his mouth with his play, it would be great. I wouldn't mind seeing that "Madman" stomp all over the field firing up the troops as long as the "Me, I'm the Greatest" and calling out players doesn't disrupt anything. Sapp is going to have to adjust to being the center of attention to just being a player, part of the team, Not the team.

I'd give him this year to see if he's learned anything or if it's still about "My Image". If his play doesn't improve, what more is there to say? Having a "few" big plays doesn't make up for giving up "many" big plays. The only time he's made a big play is on a "bad" throw, he's never cleanly picked one from a WR because he's always out of position.

I dunno...we'll see. But, I can almost guarantee he will be a shutdown corner for years to come. JMO

It would be great if he did and I can only hope for the success of the Raiders that he does. He's not a "rookie" anymore and he'll be playing in a different "D" this year. We'll get a chance to see if coaching makes a difference. However, if we don't improve our pass rush, I don't care who is back there. Every team that has these great CB's also has a decent Pass rush, Mia, Phi, Bal, Pats, etc....

Very true on the pass rush...I was about to say the same thing. Anyways, ok, enough of this...sorry to turn the Sapp thread into something else.

O.K. with Sapp Rushing the QB, maybe PBurnt can earn his real name back.

lol, would be nice. However, I just don't see Sapp coming here. We'd have 3 potential top starters at DT. And, with as good as they all are, "3's a crowd". Now, if theyre all ok with splitting time, go for it! but, i doubt it. Especially on Sapp's end. would be nice though
