What I took away from the links.

Devin Thomas saying he’s about 240 lbs.

Fred Davis saying Zorn didn’t have full control of the offense last year.

Carriker: ""I would play nose tackle, right and left end. I would play it all. In one drive against San Francisco, I played every single position. " during his rookie year.

thomas is 230 it was a mis quote

230 still seems big

He’s cut up though (confirmed by his modeling and Kevin’s inexplicable ability to find stories about it) He must be on the weights something serious..

My madden team has been doing that for over a year.

Just sayin…

I've been out of that loop for about 5 years...

I think it has crossed my mind when trying to figure out how this is going to work….I like the Idea though….just the fact that the term “diverse” might be used to describe anything but special teams sounds good to me right now.

+1

PS3 by any chance?

I'm worried about the beer supply. After this case, and the other case, there's only one case left- Barney Gumble

Davis probably has as much speed as Kelly and he could still play in other two TE formations.

on the adam carriker link, he has another link to his training camp power rankings. that is a really good read and what i wanted to know…who is standing out and who isnt! some pleasant surprises for me.

thanks for the tip

I checked out that power rankings link and it was a good read…

Agreed.

Just read it. Definitely some extra sugar for the koolaid in there. I remember reading somewhere that Buchanon and Tryon were competing for the nickelback, and both were looking good.

i know. i am excited to see how they play. there is always soooo much hype! i was pleased to hear about moore. we really need a free safety. and if buchanon and tryon are decent, that is four decent to solid CBs. Makes me wonder if barnes could play FS. i read his coverage stinks but he likes to hit. am wondering if comparing his coverage to a cb might mean he has good coverage skills for a FS and if he can tackle a bit…

we might be solid across the board in the secondary!

Stone Hands Vs. No-Hands

Being that both have superbly weak and ineffective hands, this “fight” would have come down to slapping and scratching.

by Elaw6 on Aug 6, 2010 1:52 PM EDT reply actions

Hmmmmmm

If its down to slapping and scratching, does whoever calls the other ‘bitch’ first win?

by Dipper on Aug 6, 2010 4:43 PM EDT reply actions

Thomas

should just run right past Carlos Rogers, kind of like every other receiver that #22 faces. He wouldn’t catch him either. figuratively and literally

DT quote

“You know, he was upset that he hit the ground, you know big DB’s –they’re pretty boys, they don’t like to touch the ground.”

Pretty Boys?? Thats talking mucho trash from a guy who puts Manicures, pedicures, and modeling gigs before football.

2 years in the league. 40 catches. How did this guy get drafted before #10 on the Iggles?

cerrrato…there is nothing sexy about going with an obvious choice and he always loved those off field performance stats…height weight forty time

Priority on the waiver wires.

This is one situation where a 4-12 W-L record works in favor of the Skins. Most of this action occurs in the first two weeks of September as players are cut and signed off of waivers.
