Lol, you are predicting a forced fumble? How do you even predict something like that? What are the keys you look for I wonder?

EDIT: I do like the guy too BTW. It was a real longshot for him to make a 53 man roster and he made it. From all indications, he is a RKG and a very hard worker. It is no wonder Jason wanted him to be our 53rd guy.

I can't get over how much of a fit he seems to be for this team.

He has excellent size and seems athletic enough. He seems like a RKG that wants to come in and work hard, and if anyone can coach him up to speed it's the Kiffin/Marinelli combo (more of the latter, really).

He's a very intriguing player, and I'm quite excited about what he could turn out to be.

Yeah, I wish he were younger, but he can learn from Marinelli and hone his skills a little more and he has a chance to be at least a decent situational pass rusher. His ungodly long arms gives him a chance to be good at it.

I really like him he had success against their starting Tackle, Pugh so I expect too see him out there.

Yeah, it is his length that keeps him from being able to play OLB in a 34. At that height it is really difficult to change directions and he is a little too straight-linish to play LB. However, those long arms give him a real advantage on the pass rush and his lack of lateral mobility doesn't hamper him.

Definitely worth a shot for a conditional 7th. You never know, he could be a real plus for us.

I have a very diehard friend who is a Colts fan who called me twenty minutes after the trade absolutely raging. He said Colts fans considered this guy to be a superstar in the making, he just had no place in a 3-4 due to being uncomfortable in space. My buddy says from what he saw in preseason the guy plays the run okay but really uses his size and twitch quickness to make plays in the backfield.

I'm hoping between him and Selvie that they can put some pressure on Eli. Definitely rooting for the guy.

Watched this video earlier, looks like we may have stumbled into a gem.

I am predicting he tips a ball, that lands on the 23 & 1/2 yard line, bounces twice to the right, then straight up, picked up by Lee and run in for a score in exactly 5.2 seconds.

Take it to the bank!

Man, I'm hugely disappointed Too Tall Lite and the Croods weren't a hit. :( Tough crowd. We'll be back next Thursday. :)

I sure hope that this new DE can also create some pass rush. I really have no faith in Wilber doing anything this year.

Was Wilber or Ed the horse? That's what I'll be saying in a couple of years.
