Ross Verba?

AmishCowboy · Oct 17, 2005

I'am throwing my 2 cents in and saying lets give him what he wants for the year and get him in!. We have a chance to make some noise in the weak NFC, so lets not let this injury slow us down!. :iggles: :trophy: :suxiggle: :disseags:

rgcowboys · Oct 17, 2005

Parcells did say he had somebody coming in tomorrow so thats when we find out who he is. Maybe trading with Cleveland since there are ties there. This is going to drive me crazy, just hope for the best. And one more thing. Larry Allen can not play LT no more in his career, he is to slow. A speed rusher will blow right by him.

I have to disagree with the weak NFC comment this year...

Yes, let's trade for a free agent. Nice one.

Sure wish we knew who that somebody is........&^(&*&__(

Maybe we could all feel a little better about this situation if we knew what Parcell's options were.

Ross Verba 2005 Scouting Report - Scouts Inc.
Grade: 73 | Key
Alert: None

Comment:
He is a little short for an OT and he does not have long arms, but makes up for some of that by being an above average athlete. He shows good foot quickness. He can short set and get good position. He is a solid technician - plays with solid balance and body control. He is keeps good position - doesn't take fakes on double rush moves. He is a good competitor, but not the tough, physical nasty player he tries to portray himself as. He is an effective run blocker in space. He flashes to want to get downfield and make blocks. He shows solid initial, foot and lateral quickness. He is not very big - kind of manufactured and topped out weight/size wise. Can get in trouble at times giving up his outside edge and he does not have the arm length to consistently take the DE wide around the QB.

What the heck is that, some type of code?

Nothing against you..but I think that's total BS..Who cares how short he is?

Can he block?..That's what I care about!

There have been so many misses on draft day because people are so caught up in this BS that you have to run so fast..be so tall..jump so high..That they can't see the Forest for the Trees!

Can the man play? That's all I care about!

AbeBeta · Oct 17, 2005

If he is so good ...... then why is he still a free agent? I know he wanted big money and stupidly wanted out of his deal with the Browns but come on.

He did play with Rivera so there might be something there

ratpower · Oct 17, 2005

Verba certainly has a nasty streak to him...maybe not all the marbles are upstairs...

Great idea.......I had forgotten about Verba.......this could very well be the answer!

BotchedLobotomy · Oct 17, 2005

There was a big article about him in the Green Bay paper earlier this season and it sounds like he's lost his desire to play football and the only reason to play anymore is for big $$. Nothing worse than a player that is just playing for the money.

Maybe he'll sign a 1 year deal with us to prove that he deserves the $$$$$. There's no one more motivated than someone who wants to prove he deserves the cash

AmishCowboy · Oct 17, 2005

If not Verba then I hope it's Chris Terry and not some Truck Driver off the street!.

Bluefin · Oct 17, 2005

Ross Verba?

He should change his name to Wrong Verba, IMO.

It may come to that, but I'd rather look at Chris Terry or Marc Columbo and hope one of our own holds the fort with the cast away as depth.

ddh33 · Oct 17, 2005

I had forgotten about Columbo. He was a first round pick once upon a time, right? That either says something good about him or something really bad since he's not on a team.

First rounder of the Bears back in 2002.

He blew a knee out, battled rust issues last season from the layoff and wasn't good enough to make the cut this year.

No matter what, he's worth a look, IMO.

The man's played 8 seasons as a starter. Guess he can block some. As for the scouting report, I didn't write it, just passing it along. I sure don't claim to know more than the guys that write them though.

junk · Oct 17, 2005

In all honesty, the first route will probably be Tucker and some young guy will be brought in to provide depth.
