[quote=Skins4L;819173]"Ballooned up"?....350 to 360.... that's water weight... water weight.
Weight loss and gaining to someone that size is different he can shake that.
This dude craps 10 pounds.

And of course its "late"... we just signed people last week but now its "late".
The lockout made everything "late"
Obviously we won't sign him but if we have OL problems he coulda been POSSIBLY the help we need.

And the Viks line wasn't BAD... maybe not Great but definetly good and good enough[/quote]

Boy you're really trying to justify signing Mount McKinnie. Dude weighed almost [URL="http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/Bryant-McKinnie-was-close-to-400-pounds.html"]400 pounds[/URL] when he showed up for Vikes training camp. I know we like to call linemen fat boys but there's gotta be athleticism involved, and I'm sure McKinnie's got just about as much athleticism as Jabba the Hut. And his work ethic is obviously highly questionable. What kind of player blows off the Pro Bowl to spend time at a strip club?

I think Randy would be a better fit in Chi- town.

Re: 2011 NFL Free Agency-Part 3
 

He was actually there yesterday and I hear it went really well. He's likely to get a contract offer from them. But I hear he also has a pending offer from the Skins

Re: 2011 NFL Free Agency-Part 3
 

I hope we can keep him...versatile player and our new ST beast. He's our new Khary Campbell.

[quote=GTripp0012;818543]Disagree. Rabach is almost the perfect NFL backup C because the guy plays through nearly any injury.

Matt Birk is still one of the best centers in the league, so if everything goes right, Rabach will never see the field for them. But if he has to play, it at least means they won't have to reshuffle the entire line to do so.[/quote]

Well it looks like Rabach will be seeing the field right away. Birk's going to be out for a few weeks

Re: 2011 NFL Free Agency-Part 3
 

Looks like Orton is staying put...

"Kevin Negandhi
Just on @SportsCenter: @AdamSchefter says the Broncos are not going to trade Kyle Orton."

Good for the Ravens, they deserve this. :rofl:

Re: 2011 NFL Free Agency-Part 3
 

I've heard the gap between Orton and Tebow has been so wide at training camp that Brady Quinn is actually being penciled in as the #2 QB in Denver right now. Still early though

Re: 2011 NFL Free Agency-Part 3
 

Orton is clearly their best option right now. Tebow needs more time.

[quote=musicmaster45;819239]ok so in chi i heard they would be shifting lofa to outside line backer[/quote]

Ok, so take a guy with diminishing production and bad knees and make him switch positions...good luck with that, Bears.

Re: 2011 NFL Free Agency-Part 3
 

I'm not a huge Tebow fan (as a QB) but I don't think he's the type of player who is going to excel or impress anyone in structured drills. He's more of a player who you just let run around and make plays.


Orton will be the starter but I think the team will be struggling so much that they'll swap him out for Tebow before year's end and he'll stay there for the remainder of the year and possibly going into next year. They gave a 1st-round pick for him and he needs to eventually be thrown into the fire to see if he's worth hanging onto.

Orton is clearly better, but for the sake of the future of the franchise, they need to make a decision on Tebow and either move on with him, or without him. I think they tried to do this, but couldn't get what they wanted for Orton.

Orton could still be traded. Who knows, if Beck struggles too much or is hurt...maybe we'll try to get him, but I think we'd just hand it over to Grossman and I'd be OK with that for a year. We need a longer-term solution if Beck is not the man though.
