Generally takes a different kind of mindset to play ST. You can't be soft because you know that you're going to run full speed into someone whether you're in on the tackle or not. Maybe Marko was too thin to hold up on teams? I have no idea, maybe he just had no instincts whatsoever, or maybe they just never game him the chance. I will say this, he doesn't seem like he's built like some sort of special teams maven, I could see him getting hurt trying to play teams.

Well with a guy like that typically you have to be a returner. Guessing that's not up Marko's alley. You don't see a lot of receivers out there unless they're bigger framed guys or returners. Or gunners.

So I just looked on redskins.com and saw that the roster has been updated with Andre Carter now listed as a LB and same with Lorenzo Alexander.

I had us taking him in the 5th in our "As is dream draft". Good player who can play nose when he keeps his weight up. Has some back injury history though.

Pro Bowl guard Mankins not close to deal with Patriots, agent says

At least we're not dealing with anything like this.

Mankins has skipped the Patriots' voluntary workouts this offseason, and Bauer said "no comment" when asked if the restricted free agent would miss a mandatory minicamp next month if he doesn't have a deal.

[tryfuhl]

Well like, that guy is a Pro Bowl guard for the Patriots. He has a family and probably doesn't need to attend anything but the Super Bowl. Also, does anybody REALLY know if Haynesworth will be there for mandatory?

We should offer the Pats a 2015 Draft Day hat for that malcontent!
