Sherman/Arenas
 

I meant to make this thread last week. I voiced a bit of frustration when we traded Arenas away to Arizona for Sherman. Our CB depth at the time was atrocious and it also seemed like we had brought in a bunch of fullbacks at that point.

I liked Arenas and thought he played decently after Routt was cut last year. Didn't see the upside in trading him for a fullback.

Well, I'm here tonight to eat a little bit of crow. Sherman has quietly become one of our standouts on offense. He's a hard hitter, his blocking is great, and he's even had some important receiving plays. It seems Charles does his best running when he's running behind Sherman as well.

I guess that's all I wanted to say. Welcome to the team Sherman. I hope you stay a while.

SHERMAN TANK!!!!!!!

Has to be close to leading in special teams tackles too. Definitely contributing well

Same here. At the time I had no idea what the point of the trade was, and like you, felt that Arenus was definitely worth keeping.

Well that worked out better than we expected.

Ya he seems like a tough SOB. Pretty glad we got him.

Arenas has done nothing this year. 5 tackles and 0 passes defended.

I think we got the better end of that trade...

Crow eaten.

I was pissed. Now I am happy.

I had this conversation with my buddy the other day. Hardly anybody uses a fullback anymore and there are several in college. You'd think it would be plum easy to find a decent one. But prior to this season, we had been looking for one since TRich left. Ridiculous. Cost us a guy, but if we were going to cut him anyway, net win.

I'm just glad we have a decent fullback. He's no TRich, but he is a hitting son of a bitch.



mmmmmmm crow...

Pass the crow...

ya Sherman looks like a keeper! That also means we don't have to draft one every single year either! I wasn't happy either for the same reasons you stated. I'm happy to eat some crow right now

Bump! Long time, no read your dumb ****ing posts. How ya been, son?

Agreed. I was very annoyed with that trade, but it was a good trade. The Chiefs were right. I was wrong.

I thought it was a very stupid trade. Even if Sherman is playing extremely well.

I'll take good cornerback depth over a starting fullback any day. The move was saved by a great move to steal Marcus Cooper.

Doesn't matter. Arenas isn't a fit in Suttons D. His strength is zone not man. He would be no more valuable to the team than Robinson is

Uh....but Arenas wasn't good depth...and Sherman is playing well....soo, good trade yes?!? Eat crow?!? Yes.
