He is an ideal hybrid type. He just doesn't have NFL talent.
BP tried to keep him and develop him a 3-4 OLB but it apparently did not work.

You know, that was a good response. I wish I had used that kind fo response for the last 2 years.

That is still kind of important isn't it. With our overhaul of the front 7, anybody who doesn't bring it in camp will be gone. The time to put up or shut up is only a few weeks away.

YOU MEAN PLAYERS AREN'T TRANSFORMED INTO AMAZING SUPERMEN JUST BY BEING IN THE MAGICAL 3-4?!!!!!

Next you're going to tell me there's no Easter Bunny!

I hope Nors... Tunafish... BNA and HH don't read this!

Well in HH's case I'm sure he'll just say Zimmer drugged DeRonde and that's why he didn't perform.

He was a hybrid, developmental type player. Parcells is doing him a favor to catch on somewhere. With Ware, Burnett, Thornton, Ogbogu odds were totally stacked against him sticking here.

Darn it to heck there goes our SB chances

If you had seen him at any length in NFL Europe, you would have thought why is the guy even send there?

Geez that guy seemed to have Zero talent. He was marcelius Wiley of his team over there from what I saw

 

[Waffle]

He's not a "hybrid" anything. He's obviously so bad that Parcells didn't even bother keeping the guy around for the roster exemption.

You mean this time right?
He's been on an NFL roster 3 years running and to NFLE 3 times.
He's definitely a hybrid at 6'5" and 260 pounds.
He's just short of NFL caliber talent but was a very good college level guy who came out at 240 pounds.

He isn't eligible for the practice squad, thus the likely cut to give him a chance elsewhere instead of keeping him for an exemption then dumping him.
We will have 30 gusy in camp just as scrubby if not moreso but they'll have a shot at the bottom 10 roster spots and the practice squad provided they dont have more than 3 years NFL experience.

I should have said "anymore."

With that said, he appeared invisible to me in the couple of Galaxy games I was able to catch this year.

Is anyone else sick of the word "hybrid" when describing a player. I just think it means they can't do either thing very well rather than being a compliment.

Correct.

I hate the term.

I hate it like I hate the term "flexibility".

To me it's someone that can't do anything at a great level.

Hey dude, I never said the 3-4 was a magic pill and I never predicted us to run it ... all I've ever done was come to the realization that it was here after the draft.

But I always said we already ran some of the 3-4 last year ... we did on occasion.

I'm sorry BNA... I shouldn't have lumped you in with those other guys.

Plus I've seen your picture and I don't want you to come after me!

LOL - that's not right ....

I'm just saying that I still think we will run a lot of 4-3 ...

We're going to be a team that can run both schemes ... I'm not saying that we're running the 3-4 so "in your face buddy, I told you so" ...

I think we will give a lot of different looks. That is going to be our thing - mixing between the two. But not running one exclusively.

That's why you're one of my favorites BNA... you're just so even-tempered and diplomatic!

well, if it's a term to describe a player like Freeny or Suggs, I'm all for it...
