First off,
Peppers Update:
I read on the NC State board that Julius Peppers has said that he wants to play in San Diego. That is the only place I've seen this mentioned. Has anyone else heard anything about it? Just looking for any confirmation.

Secondly,
Draft pick 16 update:
The pick is placed exactly 1/2 way thru the draft Rd. 1. We finished 8-8 and were
1-1 in the playoffs, some how it seems fitting, that pick at 16.
CANDIDATES FOR PICK 16
1. JAMES LAURINAITIS LB OHIO ST , a long shot , some how I dont think it's likely
but you can always hope. Lights Out replacement, AJ is mad that he waited so long
for knee surgery. Had he skipped the Pro Bowl and had it done, maybe he would
have played in the playoffs! This is a wish pick for Laurinaitis to land here.
2. WILLIAM MOORE S MISSOURI , addresses a need. Past injuries have to be
evaluated, must pass the AJ background check. A Sean Taylor type.
3. EVANDER "ZIGGY" HOOD DL MISSOURI , AJ trades down in the draft and picks
up this guy. Rock solid work ethic, Olshanskys' replacement , looks athletic to be a
DE in a 3 - 4 set.
4. JASON SMITH OT BAYLOR , protect Rivers at all costs. Needs more strength in
upper body , but usually thats the case coming out of college. Competition for Clary.
5. JAMON MEREDITH OT/OG S. CAROLINA , protect Rivers at all costs! Has
upside, sometimes he has to be motivated. Pro coaching and a paycheck should
take care of that. Must pass the AJ background check. Regular Insiders have
heard me mention this before - one downfall of AJ is that he rarely drafts OL in the
first three rounds to protect Philip. Bill Polian for the Colts always drafts an OL
every yr to protect Manning. I'm tired of our QB getting the stuffing kicked out of
him every other week!
6. ALEX MACK OC/OG CAL GOLDEN BEARS , this guy is a HARDWICK CLONE, I
am not kidding you! AJ trades down and picks this guy up , but only if the team
feels that he can also play guard. Hardwick's Liscz - Franc surgery on his foot
scares the hell out of me. I don't know how many yrs he has left. Again , my theme
to you- followers of the bolts , protect Rivers at all costs, due to his limited mobility.
THE GUYS ABOVE, I ENVISION AS SOME OF OUR POSSIBLE CANDIDATES AT 16

Third and last update,
Roy Williams (SS) Update:
ROY WILLIAMS, THE SAFETY, CHANGES AGENTS
Posted by Mike Florio on January 17, 2009, 12:06 a.m.
When we heard earlier this week that Roy Williams of the Cowboys changed agents, we were confused.
Why, we thought, would he be changing agents after signing a long-term deal during the season? After all, his new agent would get no fee at any until a new deal is negotiated.
And then we realized that there’s another Roy Williams on the team. Roy Williams the safety.
We’d forgotten about him, primarily because he wasn’t around for most of the year.
The Cowboys might be ready to forget about him, too, given the decline in his performance and the increase in his salary.
And so Roy Williams the safety will rely upon Jordan Woy, not Ben Dogra, to deal with any efforts by the Cowboys to squeeze Williams’ salary — or to negotiate a new deal with a new team if he is cut.
Williams, per the Dallas Morning News, is due to have a $6.6 million cap number in 2009. His base salary will be $4.4 million.
There's an intimidator who would be a great fit. Is he a Polamalu type, maybe not, but he is someone QB's are aware of and someone who can be a leader of a young secondary. Not to mention the added ability to blitz! I think Rivera could have fun scheming with a guy like that.
Jammer, Cromartie, Cason
Weddle, Williams
I could deal with that.
