Hopefully this isn't a repost, I knew I was wondering where the kid went.

It's not that I know of. Good signing St. Louis. A year in an NFL weight program and he'll be a heckuva 3-4 NT.

I wouldn't say that. He might end up being an OK 4-3 DT but I don't ever see him as a NT and I think Bill & Co. thought the same.

Keep in mind that if we want him back, we can just sign him to our active roster.

Various reports said he was "lazy". Bill hates that in general but especially from an NT, he wants high motor guys at that spot. Could just be a mental thing.

Frankly I don't think many people would care that much if it wasn't for "The Phone Call"

I agree with Michael. He may have the "Body type" but his style of play doesn't fit that role very well.

Some guys can change, but it's not an easy change. It would be like forcing Barry Sanders to quit trying to hit a homerun everytime he carried the ball, and make him run more like Emmitt.

Or trying to turn Brett Favre into a good game manager.


Or turning Larry Allen into a finesse player.


Or or or...

I think that Lazy might not be a good trait for a PS guy.

Maybe Parcells didnt like him talking dirty to his quarterbacks. ;)


My sense tells me that he's not ever going to get near the quarterback.

We got Collins from the Rams, they got Stanley from us. Guess we are exchanging things, while we are at it, let's talk to them about Steven Jackson.......or better yet Orlando Pace.....

That is what had me rooting for him the most I guess. I had hope for him and figured with our lack of NT depth that he'd make the team.

What stands out to me is that with the lack of depth at the position, I think everyone assumed he'd be a lock. The fact that he was cut speaks volumes.

Wish him good luck in STL, he'll be learning from a good player in LaRoi.
