Twitter over Will Allen and Matt Roth http://blogs.palmbeachpost.com/thed...haus-a-twitter-over-will-allen-and-matt-roth/
Dude, it's from Mel Kiper's Mordred, Drew Rosenhaus. Here is his Sith disciple: I hate that Rosenhaus is representing Matt Roth because our front office plays hardball, if Matty wants to much dough, they will send him down the road.
they've been kippered can't believe a word of it & there must be a bad intention in leaking the information only the FrontOffice knows
I think the lack of OLB's drafted in this years draft isn't too big of an issue. They will double up next year, in a class that is much more talented. I think they will keep Roth though.
Dude, let not your heart be troubled, don't forget Roth was close to being as disliked as Jason Allen currently is, it took tuna and helpers to stand him up and make him a serious starter for us.
Nobody is going to be throwing bags of money to Matt Roth at the end of the season. Ooh, he can set the edge!!!! Big whoop. I'm sure there are TONS of OLBs who can set the edge like he does when they know they never have to effectively rush the passer. I could take or leave Roth. I have a feeling that the rest of the NFL's GMs feel the same way.
I'd be surprised if Roth asked for big money. He knows that he's not a dominant pass rusher and he knows his limits, therefore I don't see him asking for big money. I could be wrong though, I know I have been in the past haha. I liked Clint Sintim a lot in this years draft too. I had him pegged at twenty-five for a while and then changed it to Sean Smith, who we ended up getting. However, they must have not been comfortable with him, even at 44. What I'm guessing they thought with Clint Sintim is how much of an upgrade is he over Matt Roth in the pass rushing department? Some teams were not completely sold on his pass rushing abilities as a stand-up linebacker and I think that's a big reason as to why you saw multiple 4-3 teams look at him as a strong-side linebacker and IMO as a defensive end. I said it leading up to the draft, Clint Sintim IMO is more explosive with his hand in the dirt than standing up. He's a more explosive pass rusher and I thought that he could have been a good cover linebacker too, which he now will be in New York. However, you look at him and then you look at guys in next years draft, the Greg Hardy's, Brandon Lang, Jerry Hughes, Mark Herzlich, George Selvie, Corey Wootton, Ricky Sapp, Dexter Davis, etc. and then I'm suddenly OK with it becuase I know there's talent next year. I've got guys to help fill some needs at other positions in 2009 and in a weaker class so when 2010 comes around, I know the talent level will be greater. Roth is excellent at setting the edge, he's a better player for us than some think IMO.
but where are they then... Roth was so effective they quit running at him.. I think you are doing him a diservice.
