@DCGoldPants Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 I don't get that at all. We have a ton of guys who can run the ball. Use those open spots for CB's and OL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mass_SkinsFan Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 I don't get that at all.We have a ton of guys who can run the ball. Use those open spots for CB's and OL. Neither do I, but for a different reason. This is effectively the equivelant of signing you or me as a RB. UCONN is one of the few college football teams I pay any attention to. Largely because I need something to laugh at on occassion every fall. That school doesn't even belong playing NCAA Div. I football; nevermind having players drafted (2 last year) or signed as UDFA's.

rwleshin Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 DO you want to take a chance of Betts, Portis or someone we need getting hurt in preseason games...we need some players as camp fodder... and yes I knocked on wood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldskool Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 This one boggles but the FO must have their reasons for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HailYeah Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 This one boggles but the FO must have their reasons for this. We need a punching bag for our new D-line and LB man-beasts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HailSkinz1 Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 C'mon guys, are you serious? You don't get this? It's not like he's going to compete with Portis and Betts okay. He's going to get a look as a "Teams" guy and if he's lucky, he'll land on the Practice Squad. For mini camps and into training camp, we need bodies so the stars don't get worn out. Nothing wrong with signing an RB for mini camp reps. Hail, H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Hey Mods, is it possible to get a "read me" sticky thread with a list of all UDFA's the Skins have signed today and keep it updated as the day goes on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

21dave Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 I'm a UCONN grad and have watched him play. He's a pretty good back, nothing special. Had a good year in 2004 when he rushed for 1200 yards, which I believed led the Big East. Played pretty poorly last year after two qbs got hurt. Could play some special teams.

Hauss Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Betts is in his last year here. What's wrong with seeing if someone has enough talent to be put on the practice squad for a year and learn the system.If he can't play the cost has been minimal.

BleedBNG Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 I thought his last name sounded familiar. His uncle is 3 time pro bowl RB John Brockington who played for the Packers ('71-'77). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spm Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 We'll take 7 or 8 running backs into training camp, and we only have 4. They'll look at him for special teams and reserve duty-- maybe to challenge Nemo. He looked like a solid UDFA prospect from the 2-3 UConn games I saw. Maybe he turns into something. Priest Holmes wasn't drafted at all, and Earnest Byner and Terry Allen were both drafted well past the 7th round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butz65 Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 What's the big deal? We should sign as many UFA's going into camp at whatever positions we deem necessary in order to get a good look at the roster this summer. There's no risk at signing an UFA - so why all the concern?

Brother Redskin Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 yeah, a hometown boy. Well for me anyway. give me a moment, it doesn't happen that often. On a side note,Brian Kozlowski was from uconn also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FootballGuy2677 Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 I don't get that at all.We have a ton of guys who can run the ball. Use those open spots for CB's and OL. The point of this is if we find the next Priest Holmes or maybe a Samkon Gado we are gonna have an unbelievable RB Combination for years to come in Clinton Portis/(Insert Name).

Nothing wrong with signing an RB for mini camp reps.Hail, H People don't get this because he is a 7th RB. You are limited to how many guys you can have at camp. Unless we plan to go light in TC elsewhere, some RB is NOT going to TC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Tater Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 why didnt we resign koz If we need him, he will be available and ready in late August without using up a TC slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
