Coach55 Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 What is his status? Last year he was let go after failing a physical on a surgically repaired knee. Prior to that, he was a gamer. Although small, he may be a good ILB in a 3-4 defense (even if only a reserve). Does anyone know if he has any chance of returning this year?

Amstel Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 I'm not sure but I was happy when they brought him back. He's a good special teamer. Blake Costanzo was also in that mold and ended up in Cleveland..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. ChumChums Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 It's not delivery...It's DIGIORGIO! Was it Al Michaels that said that on MNF against the Cowboys a few years back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Trooth Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 I think we need to think bigger than DiGiorgio. Let's stop talking about 3rd stringers. How about bonafide, starting, headhunting, foaming at the mouth LBs that destroy anything that moves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixxxer Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 He's a very smart player, always knowing where to be on the field. I don't know if with his current seize he could make the transition to the 3-4. Problem with the Tampon2 we ran he was always covering deep and more often than not he was ran over by RBs, same as our safeties. I don't think he will be in the plans of Edwards, not at his current weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPS Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Tampa 2 LB. Not a great one either. Just what we had and he didn't suck. Useless in a 3-4. We need to aim higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Michael Irvin or someone trying to pull that line off later and got all excited and chanted, "It's not pizza, it's Digiorgio!" and then all the other fellas started razzin' on him. HILLARIOUS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree we should scrap all these lb's and start from scratch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebandit27 Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 To answer the OP, I have a friend that is pretty close with DiGiorgio, and last I heard (this was during the fall) he had no plans to give up football. He's no longer on Buffalo's roster, having reached an injury settlement, and I'd imagine he'll get workouts from a few teams with a need for LB depth and ST help. I'm supposed to see my friend this weekend, and I'll try to remember to ask for an update... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HILLARIOUS. It was Tony Kornheiser who came up with the line. It was probably Emmitt Smith who tried to say it again. John D was put on injured reserve and released last season. His knee injury was pretty brutal. He was a good player. It shows that most players deserve all the money they get, because their careers can be over in an instant. Hopefully he finds success after football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Schobel retires we will probably need a starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Trooth Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Poz? Mitchell? Ellison??? Mitchell would pass the litmus test on the inside. The other two, no way. Poz and Ellison can be backup outside LBs in a 4-3 for a few teams. We need 3 more starters (Kelsay, Ellis, Maybin?). Schobel could, but I'd be shocked if he plays with the Bills next year. If I were the HC, I would not give Schobel any special priveleges... 1) some degree of respect is lost among some teamates, 2) You open that door and everyone else want to pass through, 3) can't be two standards... one for Schobel and one for the rest of the team. Still need at least two more LBs on the inside and two LBs on the outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
