I would still consider practice squading the guy

you do know the PS is for guys who can you know, come in and actually practice, right?

I'd save the spot for someone who actually has played some football recently and has a commitment to being in something approximating playing shape.

meh, how many practice squad guys turn into players? not too darn many. He is a kid, and a giant freaking kid at that. Let him get some real endurance training and probably drop 20-30 pounds and he has potential. His mespace page is hilarious though wall to wall saints.

The best move for him is to come to Arizona to any of these training facilities out here and get his rear end in shape. Obviously he has no cardio at all if he's not lasting 15 minutes. You can't tell me it is the humidity, because he's from Mississippi and would have been dealing with that his whole life. Cardio can be addressed and in the healthiest manner.

Man, what a strange story this guy has been. I can't blame the Saints or any team for being interested. Same as when Brock Lesnar left wrestling to try football.

No harm in rolling the dice.

Brandon Everage???

I think it speaks volumes as to where this guy is mentally as well as physically.

He knew he was going to be 'going to work' somewhere.

And he obviously did nothing to prepare himself for it.

The biggest 'job interview' of his life and the guy goes on a 6 month 'bender' the night before so to speak.

It shows me how serious the guy isn't about football.

There are a lot of fools out there who believe they don't need to be in shape until August.

Few PS players make it -- but those who do show hustle and hard work -- This guy, he declares for the draft and knows he's going to be put through some hard practices -- he's known that for months now. What does he do? Shows up in such bad shape that he can't play at all.

Yeah, that's the message you want to send to the guys on the PS -- work hard! or not.

Put me down as one who made a mistake on him as well. I thought that given his size and athletic ability, he might be a monster of a nose tackle.

The fact that he only got 10 minutes means something. If he's not in shape, coach him into shape. I think he shows up on a practice squad somewhere, and wouldn't be disappointed if it was here.

Willie Blade would be one.

Wasn't it Spagnola all over this guy too?

clearly if you practice squad a guy and he doesn't work hard then he gets cut, giving the guy a chance to show improvement is all I am talking about. Cutting someone on the first day is a little much to me, but this is the NFL not juco.

"Looks like Tarzan plays like Jane" I guess......

Looks like Tarzan, lifted by Crane.

If the guy is just a quitter nobody should pick him up, but if not sounds like a guy that would need a few years in NFL Europe getting used to what it means to be a football player since he has not been one since High School I guess.

It is a "bit much" -- but it speaks volumes to what the team feels about the player now doesn't it.

Patrick Crayton was on the practice squad his rookie year.

I don't think it's a place you want to put a stiff who has little chance of ever becoming a player.

I am waiting for the guy who comes up with a video were he does a back flip from his knees while throwing the ball 70 yards in mid flip. While the ball is in the air, and after completing the flip, they guy runs down the field while jumping over a car or two.

I've seen that video, its really not all that impressive because he never makes it into the endzone with the ball. Yeah, he gets intercepted by himself who takes it to the house the other way.
