Saints promote rookie Lawrence Virgil from practice squad
 

The 6-foot-5, 290-pound Virgil spent training camp with the Saints this summer and registered an 11-yard sack in an exhibition but was left off the roster at the conclusion of the preseason. The Saints (4-7) signed him to their 10-man practice squad, where he’s remained all year.

Saints lineman Lawrence Virgil: 'Closer to my dreams' after earning roster spot | NOLA.com

I hope we get to see him play. he is one of those players with workout warrior type of numbers. more muscle than flab. suit him up lets see what we got. He might turn into a nightmare for a few lumbering OL.

6'5 290 doesn't sound like a NT. Move hicks in and let Virgil play end.

Re: Saints promote rookie Lawrence Virgil from practice squad
 

I know its that 38 reps on the bench I want see. will it translate to the field? if it does that is worth 30 pounds of fat right there. he looks to be timed out as quick one also.

I always like to see if they can do it out side of the gym.

Watch this guy come in and ball out!!!

Hate to say it but sometimes injuries are good for a team because you find the diamond in the rough.

Re: Saints promote rookie Lawrence Virgil from practice squad
 

Let him play. I'd piss on a spark plug if I thought it would help...

Bring up Andy Tanner as well. We could use his form of HUSTLE on offense.

Re: Saints promote rookie Lawrence Virgil from practice squad
 

I think tanner is on ir

He is, and hustle isn't the problem.

Is he a T-800 model?

Re: Saints promote rookie Lawrence Virgil from practice squad
 

We rarely play a 3-4 set so I suspect he'll be used more as a DT during our 4-2-5 sets.

Re: Saints promote rookie Lawrence Virgil from practice squad
 

if he can at least show enough to add depth as a back up DE and a DT it would be huge. NT on passing downs? 3rd and forever? sure line him at NT. not like the NT gets any rush what so ever anyways in a three man rush as it is.

Re: Saints promote rookie Lawrence Virgil from practice squad
 

Wow he benched 225 38x! Willie Roaf got 40 if I remember right.

Virgil already an inactive today...

Re: Saints promote rookie Lawrence Virgil from practice squad
 

Saints scouts do a good job finding under the radar ufda rookies,I think therefore they should let the scouts pick our draft after round two is over,This team can not draft busts like this years 126 th linebacker bust,

Hindsight is always 20/20...

Re: Saints promote rookie Lawrence Virgil from practice squad
 

I'm sure he's just insurance in case Walker, Jenkins or Deaderick get injured. If those 3 stay healthy he'll stay inactive but ready to go if necessary.

Re: Saints promote rookie Lawrence Virgil from practice squad
 

Maybe he'll beef up after a year in an NFL conditioning and weight program. He is kind of light in the arse isn't he?

Re: Saints promote rookie Lawrence Virgil from practice squad
 

We can use all the big bodies we have. Bunkley being out means Hicks will play the nose more, or at least will be getting double-teamed a lot more. I think the D-line is finally getting into shape at just the right time. Cam, Hicks and Walker all played pretty well against the Steelers.

Re: Saints promote rookie Lawrence Virgil from practice squad
 

I have noticed his hustle too. seen him run across the field to chase down ballcarriers from behind. He's raw but effort like that is contageous. Reminds me of JJ Watt(in effort)
