Ekuban to Broncos? - The Orange Mane

broncogary · 03-07-2004, 06:34 PM

Per John Clayton on ESPN Radio Ebenezer Ekuban will sign with Denver or NO, I think he said. I hope it's NO. I don't think this guy has done much.

Garcia Bronco · 03-07-2004, 06:36 PM

This guy is awesone...WTF...us?

illbroncsfn · 03-07-2004, 06:36 PM

Ekuban is/was a DE from Dallas right?

Eerrily reminiscent of another Cowboys castoff- Kavika Pittman.

My thoughts exactly.

LGM · 03-07-2004, 06:38 PM

2.5 sacks last year. 12 for his career. Yup, just what we need.

Shoot me.

Hercules Rockefeller · 03-07-2004, 06:40 PM

Sounds just like Berry before Bert came here, of course Bert wasn't a 1st round pick though.

Garcia Bronco · 03-07-2004, 06:43 PM

The guy plays good...and will come cheap.

Thats all that needs to be said.

He's not that big - 6'3", 265 - and he lacks burst. The Pittman comparison is apt.

Here he is struggling to disengage from a block by Rickey Dudley.

Garcia Bronco · 03-07-2004, 06:47 PM

He missed just about all of the 2001 season. I think he'd be great in the rotation. The only reason Pittman sucked was because he cost too much money....and Pittman spent several years in the God aweful Ray Ray and GR defense where he spent snaps in coverage.

LGM · 03-07-2004, 06:59 PM

You're lookin in the wrong place for a "miracle", Garcia.

BizzyBone7 · 03-07-2004, 07:03 PM

i think he would only be a rotational type of player if we resign heyward. with pryce still there, i think those 2 will start with Ekuban coming off the bench...god it sounds like basketball doesnt it

Garcia Bronco · 03-07-2004, 07:05 PM

All I'm sayin is whenever I've had the misfortune of watching the Cowboys play....he's making a difference for them.

broncogary · 03-07-2004, 07:06 PM

No. we've been rotating D linemen for years now.

Popps · 03-07-2004, 07:09 PM

Pittman was the first thing I thought of, too.

Yipee!

Can someone roll some g#ddamned tape of the 97 and 98 season for Shanahan and point out number 90 and 91 to him, please? I'm so sick of this guy d#cking around with scrubs like this.

Hey Mike...

DRAFT OR SIGN A REAL FKING DEFENSIVE END!

You remember what that is... don't you?

stoxman · 03-07-2004, 07:37 PM

PASS! This is the 2nd coming of one of Mike's most embarrassing signings. OMG...I hope this doesn't happen. Popps is right....Mike just keeps trying to plug in bandaids or has-beens and won't step up and get a stud. Maddening.

winstoncup bronco · 03-07-2004, 07:44 PM

That's all well and good, but how many stud DE's are available, and more importantly, how many can we afford?

I've been hearing that for 7 years, now. Been a long dry-spell, I guess.

I'd trade our entire 2002 draft crop for Peppers.

.... and I'd throw in O'Neil for good measure.

No ****.....the ignorance.

Billy Clyde Puckett · 03-07-2004, 07:44 PM

If they can get him a near min. what does it hurt to let him come in and compete?

Popps · 03-07-2004, 07:57 PM

You have to draft these guys high, and often to get the impact players... or go out and sign them when they're free agents. Scraping the bargain bin just doesn't work....

Kearse and Wistrom were out there this year, and yes Denver could have signed them no problem.

Kearse signed for 6 years, $66 million with a $16 million signing bonus.

Wistrom also signed a multi year deal but terms weren't disclosed, but I have to believe it's in that neighborhood.

So after signing Bailey, how could we sign either of those guys?

Wistrom's deal was more like six years for $33 million and a $14 million signing bonus. I like him and I wish we would have landed him, but that's still a lot for an effort guy who doesn't rack up double digit sacks.
