It is. Ben Watson is a class act and was glad to be able to call him a Saint.

Agreed. Ben is a special man and he will always be a favorite of mine in or out of football. I was thrilled when we signed him and still remember the questioning of the move by several around here. If anyone can handle this adversity it is him.

Very unfortunate to a great player and better human being.

Truly a good guy & I wish him a healthy, speedy return.

Why the heck haven't we tried to sign Louis Vasquez? Is there some injury issue I don't know about?

From what I've read the knee is healthy however Vasquez has been rather disappointing in zone blocking scheme (what Payton runs).

Kind of wished we had taken a flyer on Matt Slauson after the Bears cut him. A proven vet and QUALITY pass blocker. Meanwhile we have two back up guards and a tackle who never played guard in college. If you look at JP's depth chart, there are a few UDFA that some here thought would be our savings grace. At this level of football, potential disaster waiting to happen.

I don't understand this either. He's been mentioned on this board for months. Even if he came in as a 1 year stop-gap he would be an upgrade.
There really has been no news on him anywhere

I think they were getting away from the zone blocking scheme this year with the new line coach...(Dan Roushar)

The VIKINGS are over stocked @ the OL. Keep an eye on their cuts.
NY (Giants) are pretty weak upfront so there will be competition for any average to good lineman that becomes available.

It's time to call the Eagles and see if G/T Matt Tobin is available...

C'mon Ireland, time to start beating the desk...
