What new Free Agents do you think will go on to do great things for their new team? Here's mine...All the new Redskins... El, Lloyd, Archie and Carter.El: We're gonna make sure he's on the feild at all the right times and we're gonna use his special abilities to the best of our advantage. With Saunders as our new OC, I feel like he went out to get Randle El to be his kind of "Dante Hall" player that he had in Kansas City. I'm looking for Randle El to have just as much of an impact on our team, its gonna be scary too because Saunders was so successful in K.C. but he didn't have as much talent at the WR position. Look for Randle El to open up some room for Moss on the double coverage, too.Lloyd: No offense to any 9ers fans here but Lloyd was on the wrong team at the wrong time. Their lack of success in recent years has left Lloyd with a lot of weight to carry. Being on our team will help him get more open through our talented wideouts. Defenses are not going to be able to cover everybody on the feild and we are going to see a lot more of Lloyd's acrobatic catches in the next couple years. He's gonna be explosive.Archuleta: This guy loves blitzing and fortunately, so does Gregg Williams, our Defensive Coordinator. Trust me, Gregg is going to find a place for Adam's talent on our defense, and I can assure you he's going to use him a lot to pressure the Quarterback. I'm looking for him to cause a lot more turnovers. Adam himself said that in Saint Louis, fan support was dying, and it was hard to get hyped up and excited for football games anymore. He's gonna have a hell of a time here in D.C. because that's what we're all about. Having more defensive talent around him will help him a lot to get to the Quarterback and to succeed as a Safety.Andre Carter: He was out of position in San Fran as a stand up player at OLB, but here in D.C. he's gonna go right back to where he's used to playing--Right End. Carter is gonna excel again like he did just a couple years ago as he will be back playing the position he had played his entire life. I like his ability to pass rush and take care of the run--I think this was a great aquisition, Carter brings a lot more to the table with his strength, speed, and overall talent--something that our D-Line has lacked when it comes to the ends of the line.
Adam Archuleta is one of the worst signings. He is now the highest paid safety in the league but he doesn't put up anywhere near the production of the best safeties in the league.I think the best signing is David Thornton to the titans. They got him for very cheap, much cheaper then Will Witherspoon who is right at his same caliber. And everyone knows what Linebackers do after the leave the Colts.

Archuleta isn't worth the cash and he is a horrible pass defender, average run stuffer, and overall not a game changer. That just shows how little you know about him and the way he plays. He is great at stuffing up the run game, he can create some nice route crashing in the secondary, and not many safeties are game changers. Oh wait let me guess your comeback, Bob Sanders changes the game at his position on the field. Telling me that would be a waste of yours and my own time because safeties are there to dictate the pace of the game, not change it. Archuleta is one of the best safeties in the NFL right now and just because your a stuck-up Colts fan who needs everything elaborated further on, means you can't respect his ability and talent. Let me tell you something, Archuleta might just be the best safety in the NFL if playing with the right defense and talent around him. Archuleta is a commanding position back there and many offenses fear his presence on the field. He definitley is worth the money he is getting as Punisher said. There is no way to tell me or anyone else Archuleta is mearly above average.
I gotta say the best free agent signings so far areaunte Culpepper, QB (Dolphins)Randel El, WR (Redskins)Edgerrin James, RB (Cardinals)Will Witherspoon, LB (Rams)David Givens, WR (Titans)
Wait......I am the stuck up Colts fan, but you can't even admit that you over paid for Archuleta? Sounds like you are the homer here. I wasn't even trying to compare him to Bobby Sanders, there is no point becuase Sanders isn't overpaid. In archileta you are recieving an extra linebacker. He has been hurt recently, lost a step and plays like a linebacker in coverage. I am very glad you enjoy your signings. I think carter will help the skins.... and Randle EL and B. Lloyd will give you the best recievers in the league, even surpassing the Colts. But trying to say Archuleta is one of the best safeties in the league is humorous.
Ed Reed is the best saftey in the league >_< then it is probably like Brian Dawkins, Rodney Harrison then Troy Polamalu because they do so much for their team. I don't hear anybody saying Archuleta is the real deal on TV but don't get me wrong, he'll probably be a better player as a Skins' than the Rams.
i think Archuleta was raelly good, but got injured...i think that if he can stop the run, its fine....they have Taylor for the pass

I think I have more knowledge and experience having played FS for 6 years and been named Defensive back of the year 2 times in a row. We did not overpay Archuleta and yes he is very good. If your saying he is a linebacker your an idiot because he would be too small to be considered a LB. An average NFL LB is about 6'1" and 230 lbs? Archuleta is not built like a LB and does not play like one. If he just came off an injury how do you know he has lost a step? You think everyone on the Colts are just the best players in the NFL. I guarantee you would say Starvin Marvin in the best WR, Peyton the best QB, and former Colt Edge the best RB in the game. You don't concentrate on anything, but your favorite team, so just mind your own team and stop criticizing ours when you apparently know as much as a boulder with a 12 foot diameter.
Where did archuleta play in college?Archuleta plays almost exactly like a linebacker. He is at his best when he is close to the line and blitzing.I played both safety and linebacker in highschool and was on the ball state football team last year before I tore my ACL. I am now in the process of trying out for a semipro team here in indy. You were voted best DB, I was all Confrence 2 times, all county 2 times and all state honorable mention once. So I think you can throw that out of this arguement.You are going to dog me for saying Peyton Manning is the best QB in the game? Well news flash......he is. Sure he chokes in the playoffs, but even take that away and he is still the best.I wouldn't say marvin is the best in the league, but he is top 5 easily. And I don't think that is a huge stretch to anyone who knows anything about football.Edge is a top 3 RB in the game. LT is the best hands down. Edge is the next most complete RB in the game. Mentaly retarded and the mental capacity of a boulder. That is good. keep it up and you might just get banned for flaming.

Not to mention you are doing the exact same thing as me just by responding to me. Flaming is not arguing your point. Peyton Manning for your info is not the best QB in the game as to see a new young and rising Carson Palmer beat him out last year. Edge is not a top 3 RB maybe a top 5 and he is not a complete package RB. Marvin is not a top 5 and never will be, but he was just about 2 years ago not anymore. Anyways on track, Archuleta is nothing like a linebacker and does not play like one. You haven't ever watched him play obviously because you think he plays like a LB. There is no way in hell he possibly plays like a LB. Maybe in terms of tackling ability he is even with a LB, but all he does is things safeties would do. He definitley is better than what your giving him credit for.
Can you guys just go under profile options and ignore each other...it's gotten too personal, and I would hate to see anyone banned over something so petty as this..
Adam Vinatieri getting signed by the colts. He is the best kicker in the game and is only going to benifit by kicking indoors. Plus the goat is gone. Replace your weakness with the best in the game, you cant beat that.
