im not even sure leckey is under contract

i remember us having a serious problem with interior depth because we dont have anyone backing up

we released nesbit and leckey i thought

One thing I am noticing is the bulk and height we are drafting this year.

thanks

still makes sense to add depth if he is the only interior depth we have eh?

canton; you and I debated the C position last year. I wanted Unger and you wanted somebody else...hmmmmmmmmmnnnnnnnnnnn

Leckey is signed. He will be released or Tennant goes to Practice Squad as we don't need 3 centers.

Yes we gave up a 4th rounder, probably pick number #130.

I'm not sure what doctors told you "back in the day" when you were pitching, but this surgery has come LIGHT YEARS since the 70's.
Again, no way we give up so much to move up and pick a guy that we are concerned medically about. We would have just waited until the 7th round and taken him.

Can't ever have enough depth at any position. We need another DE and to trade JB for a veteran OLB or for Haynesworth if we can get the numbers to work

We have Tim Duckworth as depth at Guard. No matter who we have or draft, if either Nicks or Evans goes down for any length of time we will be cooked.

We are not trading Jammal Brown for an Outside linebacker. That's lunacy.
We are not trading for Albert Haynesworth. It's just not happening guys. I'm in a reasonably good mood today so please don't rile me with crazy trades that have no chance of happening.

im just not a fan of players on the offensive line who play one position but project to another

unger was one of those guys

if you play a position in college, shouldnt you project to that position in the pros?

there are several examples of this working out......we dont even have to look far.....carl nicks was a tackle in college

tennant is a center, played center, and projects as a center

only downfall is hes a bit light for his height.......that rhymes
