Wow 1mil...why?

Wow 1mil...why?

He's a pretty good looking developmental player. Apparently the team agrees.

I don't mind it. It's the Phil Costas of the league that I hate wasting time on.

Good for Parnell.

Callahan must like him.

he looked alright in preseason. Hopefully he keeps improving. Not bad for a guy who i think was a DE/DT out of college and saints switched him to OT and we stole them from the saints practice squad.

I saw a lot of this player in training camp last year. Very impressive. Really quick feet and fluid movement. Very tall with long arms. I think he would have been fine in pass protection if he had to play in 2011. He just needs a little more strength for run blocking, IMO.

That's one of the best bits, esp if he keeps improving.

Because he is our back up left tackle. Who is also the "Swing" and active on game day.

Yeah, I was surprised how well he played last preseason. He seems to just have a natural feel for the position.

Excellent deal for us if this guy turns out good.

 

[big dog cowboy]

I really like this move. Looked pretty solid and must still be improving.

 

[Eskimo]

Wow, Jerry finally showing some foresight in signing a young player before he hits FA. Now if only he would carry this forward with Sean Lee and Tyron Smith when the moment is right.

I liked what I saw of him pre season, looked like he had feet for the left side.
