Jason Taylor and Anquan Boldin Skipping OTAs: Go Get Both of Them

by Jimmy on May 22, 2008 11:35 AM CDT in News

Jason Taylor isn't happy in Miami. Taylor might be 33, but he started all 16 games last season and had 11 sacks. How many defensive lineman on the Titans defensive line not named Kyle Vanden Bosch were healthy all season? Can you imagine a pass rush with Taylor on one side, KVB on the other, and The Freak rotating in and out. That pass rush with a healthy Fat Albert in the middle would be a recipie for a Super Bowl. The questions is what would it take to get him? I would give up next year's #1 for him, because if he is on the team that pick will be at least in the high 20s.

The same thing goes for Anquan Boldin who isn't happy in Arizona. I would actually give up more to get him because he is younger. The Titans have a whole heap of receviers who haven't proven they can do much. The Titans have proven they aren't going to spend a high pick to get a receiver, or even trade up in the 2nd to get one, so why not just trade your picks and get a guy you know can play? You would have to give up some combination of a #1 and a #3 to get him, but as much as I love Michael Griffin, gramsey you might want to stop reading now, I would trade him and Paul Williams for Boldin.

I know these deals will never happen, but what else do we have to talk about right now? I would love to hear your thoughts....

No need to apologize

Griffin will probably be a Pro Bowl safety in this league, but I don’t think he is going to be Bob Sanders. They aren’t really the same type of safety. Sanders takes there defensive to another level just by his presence on the field. There are very few safeties in the history of the NFL who have been able to do that.

ps….I hate Bob Sanders

WTF?!

You gotta justify that statement… is it because he’s from FSU?

No

Well, yeah, a little.

That was my not-very-well-thought-out response to the thought of trading Michael Griffin for him.

I do like Boldin—he is a baller. But he ain’t worth giving up Michael Griffin for him.

I’d go first round pick in a heartbeat though.

I love Griffin, I really really do but...

All-Pro caliber WR who is only 27 > any safety ever. Sorry, it’s just how I feel.

I figured I would get this reaction by putting Griffin's name in there

and not just saying a 1st and a 3rd.

Ahhh Jimmy, always looking for the reaction!

Also, now your Cubs know what happens when you mess with El Caballo!

anquaun boldin

by invinceable10 on May 24, 2008 11:58 AM CDT up 0 recs

Yeah

Griffin’s a little too much.

Maybe we could give them Reynaldo Hill. =)

OK-I have composed myself

I was a little shell-shocked there for a minute, but I think I am OK.

I wonder why Parcells is not going crazy trying to keep Jason Taylor. Is he not the Dolphin’s best player? I can’t imagine how awesome it would be to see him in two tone blue. And he doesn’t look like he is regressing at all. I guess he could be just fed-up in Miami and ready for a change. Seems like a Fisher kind of guy….......

100% agree Jimmy.

If the Titans are serious about winning they’ll do anything short of total lunacy to get Boldin, and make a good push for Taylor… they could rotate KVB inside like they did a little last year in obvious pass rush situations.

Heck Yeah!... mostly

I agree with this except for the bit.

A DLine with Taylor, KVB, Fat Albert, and a healthy Freak would be a monster of a line. Just try running against us. Hell, don’t we have to play the Vikings this year? This is a good idea then.

I don’t think there’s any way we would give up 2 picks for Boldin, though. He’s good. But he’s no Larry Fitzgerald.
