You don't find gems if you don't do a little digging.

Yeah, they are probably longshots but didn't we all say similar things when we acquired DLP, Quddus, Bush, Mack, Tom Johnson, Galette, Ivory, PT, Moore, and Morgan? I don't think our front office views many players as just camp bodies anymore. We have a lot of camp bodies that ended up making the 53. |

Good. Keep bringing guys in. Have to shotgun approach it to find talent. It's not just going to show up at the front door.

Glad to see they are real active because in my opinion we have a lot of players that have to go we need new blood on our defense no question about it.
