kane#7 Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 The more I hear about him the less I like him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSL810HIO Posted July 4, 2011 Author Share Posted July 4, 2011 The more I hear about him the less I like him.i agree. I'd rather have kroy start another year before signing this tool. Cj would be my ideal FA. Babin is higher on my list than ray is by far. Babin would actually be a lot cheaper and prolly produce the same amount of pressure IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOCTHEFALCONFAN™ Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Even if we don't get CJ....I still would rather have Ray over Kroy....He still would be an upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray is aiming for top dollar and is far to overated from what i hear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banned Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Ray Edwards overrated? If he wants $7Mil or more a year, don't take him in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falcoholic2010 Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 IMO if I gotta pay I am going with CJ because he clearly said an I quote(I want to WiN) ray just looking for a payday it seems to me. CJ an ASO would be great here if not keep the o-line intactPlease cause matt need time to throw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight of God Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 I already knew about the guy, but at this point give me Babin and Nnamdi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mashburn Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 I have been screaming this ever since I talked to a vikings fan a few months ago. the guy does get sacks, but he is not coonsitent on pressure. we need someone who can make a QB have pressure and make bad throws. sure it is great to have someone who has a sack every game, but one sack a game while there is how many other throws? we need pressure.and also this guy talk way to much smack. I can't stand hearing someone say over and over and over how they are going to break a record or how they are going to do something amazing. once in a blue moon is fine, but every game and every season seems to get old and I just start to block that players out. Edwards has NOT meet anything he said he will do, not even close.also vikings put edwards into a bench warmer for a reason. the same as we have done with players. yes I know some bench warmers come out and are amazing, but 90% of them should be nothing else but a replacement.

Dharma Initiative Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 I don't know much on the guy, but I don't want to overpay him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE ICEMAN Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 I think we will over pay him but just look at last year when we over paid Daunta Robinson who was a huge upgrade over Chris Houston and the same can be said with Edwards a lot of people say that Kroy will get better but he just hasn't I'll take Edwards 20 sacks over the last two years over the 7 or 8 kroy had and oh he will play with Abraham so I wouldn't expect his production to fall off either like some seem to think because he won't play with Allen any more but at the end of the day Abraham is a better pass rusher than Allen just can't play the amount of snaps Allen does.I wouldn't give him any more than 7 or 8 mil a year but IF the Falcons could land Charles Johnson I'd much rather have him but either will do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maorifalcon Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Are we able to pick up a Vet lick Robert Mathis? I think he is off contract(maybe wrong) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM12 Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 We are starting to slam the guy, lets see what he commands shall we?Would you want to be paid less than your backup? no.I would rather get CJ, but Edwards at the right price? yes please. Why? because he is an instant upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lju713 Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Man listen **** what the fans in Minny have to say. Last time i checked they weren't Dimitroff or A.Blank or Ziggy W. The fans in Houston had alot to say about DRob. All the did was rank 31-32 in pass D and we went 13-3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1989Fan Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 the problem with Ray Edwards isn't his production.It is what he wants to be paid for his production. He basically wants to be paid as a pass rushing RE now, then get his chance to move there eventually.He is not gonna get the offers he is expecting IMO. I say 8M per he will get, but not coming close to Peppers type of cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mid-Nite-Toker Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Not saying our line is as regarded as the Vikes, but C'Mon Man, Abe, Babs, KB, and RE could be. If we truly know what we can get from PJ/CP we could have an intimidating line with solid backups. I'd take CJ over RE but somehow I see a new CBA screwing up that deal.

Tribal Chief Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Ray Edwards enjoys taking semi-nude pictures of himself in the mirror and wearing man panties. Is that really the type of MAN you guys want on this team? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madman88 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 one thing i dnt get is we rotate our DEs to play both sides, but edwards is a LDE... so is babin, so how would this work, we dnt kno if the guy can play the other side, so why give a guy money to hope he can???? just doesnt make sense to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rostan Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 We are short in the DE position. Jamal Anderson was a bust. Beirman shows promise but he will never be an elite DE. Abram is Elite but is also getting older and always had issues staying healthy. We could use an elite DE but if we can at least get some average to above average for now that would be an improvement.
