HairOnFire Posted July 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 And right after we were talking about this earlier, here we go. Ask and ye shall receive, right? Now all they have to do is start signing the rookies who will actually play more important roles this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 So getting Huber in has to a pretty big priority at this point and is the next pick in line as far as rounds are concerned... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazkal Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 I hope he sticks, I like the idea of carrying both him and Chris Prissley with a total of 5 backs...PS,Ya hopefully we don't have a 5th round hold out since they do have leverage lol.

ArmyBengal Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 Crazy is good, him and Maualuga have that look. Hope there's more to it than looks. Maybe they have good dance moves that will make a "who's who" list someday... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearcat1975 Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Hey don't get me wrong...I'm glad he is signed and ready for camp. I'm hoping he outperforms Jeremi (if Jeremi can even get on the field), or that they challenge each other enough to both be difference makers....but a 7th rounder getting inked is not exactly "Smith in camp and studying the blocking schemes."

TJJackson Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 I get it....It's just like how it isn't nearly as good getting advice on being a good mother from a 14 year old pimple faced boy as it is to get such advice form an actual mother sortaexcept it's actually still good to get the 7th rounder signed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazkal Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 ...but a 7th rounder getting inked is not exactly "Smith in camp and studying the blocking schemes." I'd say our 5th rounder is pretty important though keke,Well Studying Blocking schemes he should be doing anyways I'd say live drills more important :op Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 ...but a 7th rounder getting inked is not exactly "Smith in camp and studying the blocking schemes."Except when that 7th rounder is going to be competing to fill the biggest hole outside the o-line on that side of the ball.Me personally, I would have preferred them use an earlier pick on another FB, but I won't complain about it.I'm just happy they didn't completely ignore the position.

Wraith Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 A 7th Round Pick signs before camp! AMAZING!In other news, the sun sets in the west! Barack Obama is African American!

You're right, they aren't the same thing. Then again, nobody but you bothered to imply they were. BTW, tell the other mommies I said hello.

derekshank Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 Awesome! The forum recognizes when Bearcat has changed his screenname to Groundhog Day and continues to ignore his posts without me needing to figure it out on my own.I love technology.
