I really liked Robertson coming out. I mean, he was one of the guys I thought was a can't miss type player. When I watched him, and I did go out of my way to watch this player, he honestly reminded me of Warren Sapp at Miami. He had that kind of ability at Kentucky.

I was wrong. He never did pan out.

Parcells liked Koutouvides coming out... Wonder if he goes for him.

Of course Parcells loved Robertson, too.

But I wonder if any of our guys liked the LB, too.

Also... For all you Shanahan fans -- and I don't hate him -- look at this disaster he assembled.

Give the Shanny Support Crew some room here. He's just like all the other underachievers our franchise is used to in the last decade or so, they don't know better. Though actually I think worse, even. Yea, wait, I don't understand why the hell anyone would want this walking train-wreck either. Well I guess if all we want to do ever is shoot "par" like we've been doing..

Sorry, but an attraction to Romo and TO, and a big red angry face just doesn't do it for me. For the life of me I can't understand why anyone would want this clown to be our coach.

We don't need a project right now. However, just because someone says his knees are gone doesn't make it so. He'll be looked at. And I agree he would do better platooning in a 4-3 as a DT than as a NT.

I thought Robertson would make more noise when he came out in the draft. He had quickness and looked like a good choice.

I guess the knees did him in, but even before that he wasn't much for where he was drafted.

He seemed like a good kid when I taught him at UK. He wasn't highly motivated, but it's hard to motivate someone who knows he has a huge payday in a year that has very little to do with how he does in school.

When and what did you teach at UK?

Just curious, i was at UK for 6 years until last summer.

John Engelberger would be a good vet pick up. For a few years he was their best D-lineman

I was about to post the same thing, what do you think about Robertson at DE in the 3-4?

His money I'm having a hard time understanding, the Broncos signed him to a 5 year, 24 mil deal, and some how he was going to be worth 16 mil against the cap in just his second year with the team? That sounds like a ridiculous contract.



Denver runs the 3-4? Are they converting? If so, they have tons of guys that don't fit.

Maybe you meant the Jets, and that's possible.

No... I meant the Broncos. Word is they are transitioning to the 3-4 defense.
