MKnight82 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 So we just took a SS in the 4th round, this guy would take even more picks to acquire and he's a FA after this season. I'm completely missing the part where we are supposed to be interested in this guy. Pass, let the rookie play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe they both sprained their shoulders, but I know that Nicholson definitely did and he came into the league with a shoulder injury. I read they are probably going to bring up Fish Smithston for the Raiders game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's a day-to-day thing or if they think he'll come back in a week or two, then I agree pass. However, if he's out for an extended period, it couldn't hurt. Again, it will depend on comfort level with what the team has. Who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Saints, who have a terrible defense, spent multiple high draft picks on safeties in recent drafts (while they had Vaccaro on the roster) and they've shown no interest in resigning him long term. Why would we trade a draft pick for a short term rental of a mediocre player? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would we trade a draft pick for a short term rental of a mediocre player? If we thought that their front seven was part of the reason they have terrible defenses (apparently, they're having a fire sale on players) and we thought that Nicholson was going to be out awhile, maybe? I'm lukewarm to the idea, to be honest. I can see the logic but I think it's a bit of a panic move. I haven't heard what Nicholson's status is so I'm assuming it's day-to-day. If that's the case, roll with him or activate the Fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostnote Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I thought about this for a while after I read it, and frankly, I like the young talent we have right now. Nicholson is showing some promise. Everett is a hard worker. Smithson showed some flashes and I expect to be on the active roster prior to the end of the season. No need for Vacarro.

Yeah, I had no clue Nicholson would progress so fast. I knew he had a lot of talent but didn't think he'd be ready like he has been so soon. Clearly, my opinion of trading Vacarro have done a 180!

lavar703 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I'm so happy I left twitter. Probably the most annoying form of social media ever created. However I do appreciate the constant stream of highlights Turtle. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a little Taylor-esce. He picked it over his shoulder right? His range seems better than any safety we've had in awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dashing202 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Time to trade for this guy. Nicholson and Everett keep getting injured and it's time to build the safety depth some more bodies . same goes for the OL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
