VABills Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 I remember him going on IR over the pull buttocks muscle, only because we have a huge midgets fan at works who was laughing about it. Is he any good, I could not say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrobot Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 "Thanks for bringing his name up. I've never heard of him before, don't know who he's played for, what his stats are, or where he went to college. But, this is the offseason. He's a FA Offensive Lineman that's still on the market. TD SIGN THIS GUY OUR OUR SEASON IS RUINED!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you must run to OBD with a pitchfork, chanting his name until TD relents and signs him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDBillzFan Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 One thing I can gladly admit: I'll never question our docs' diagnosis of an injured player after the way they diagnosed McGahee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Age 31 6-4 310. 285172[/snapback] Reading his Bio at NFLplayers.com he sounds like a career backup/spot starter ala Corbin Lacina. In looking at his stats he did far better at LG then LT, as in 2002 he gave up 4.5 sacks in 16 starts compared to 7.5 in 13 starts in 13 games.

Bob in SC Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 No chance. We like versatile linemen and, with that chronic problem, center is out of the question. Have fun, guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
