Considering he scored more on Brittany Norwood than he did on the field last year, it's a big concern. Can't go into the season with a RB coming off back surgery and hamstring problems without some sort of plan; even if it is a guy with broken leg issues.

I don't think he'd ever get carries over a healthy Foster, but as you said he's a nice guy to have around. It's a bit unnerving that both are high injury risks.

BUENO!
Sure enjoyed that season Gary Brown went off for us and did his "Baby Earl" impersonation. I really thought at the time that we had found something there. He didn't really ever do it again though.
Good memories though.

A signing of so little significance that the title of the thread isn't updated.

Seems like a solid signing on the cheap if he can stay healthy. Maybe they get lucky and catch lightning in a bottle. Not a reference to any blinding speed!
I hope not. I watched him at the Combine and he's got feet of stone, ie: very slow feet. I prefer an OT that should have some agility/athleticism and also be able to play OG as well.

Are you sure?
STRENGTHS: Natural athlete on the move with very good body control and lower body explosion. Outstanding shuffle footwork and lateral movement skills. Active puller with good coordination to square up his target in motion.
Sets up quickly and gets into position with good base width. Not easily redirected with good core strength and strong hands. Very good initial surge as a lead blocker through the hole. Highly intelligent with above average instincts and awareness.

"Started in each of the 42 games played at Stanford. Two-time first-team All-Pac-12 pick (2012-13). 2013: First-team All-American selection after starting 13 games at left guard. Helped Stanford rush for school-record 2,904 yards. 2012: Second-team All-American selection after starting all 14 games at left tackle. Played four of five offensive line positions, as well as tight end and wing. Allowed just one sack. " http://www.nfl.com/draft/2014/profiles/david-yankey?id=2543657
and: "- Pretty footwork and has great short area quickness to swivel around and recover" http://www.bigblueview.com/2014/2/1...y-og-stanford-scouting-report-new-york-giants
As a blocker, Yankey is a very well-rounded prospect who is prepared for the NFL. He is a technician who is a balanced run- and pass-blocker. Yankey does well opening holes in the ground game and could execute as a man or zone blocker. His pulling is his best asset. Yankey is quick to get around the left side, and when he's on the move, he can blast open some holes. Yankey could stand to improve his power for short-yardage situations to get more of a push.
Yankey is a reliable pass-protector who has the quickness and athleticism to negate speed rushers. He also has enough strength and weight in his lower body to anchor against bull rushers. With some NFL coaching, Yankey should end up being a good pass-protector as a pro.
Yankey is a favorite to be the first guard selected in the 2014 NFL Draft. He could go late in the first round and shouldn't fall out of Round 2. For the NFL, Yankey looks like he can play quickly and will be a long-term starter. "

Sound research. As usual.
I've got Su'a-Filo ranked much higher than Yankey
Had Thomas ranked much higher too, both have much better feet.

Folks, can we please not turn every thread into a draft discussion? We have the draft forum for that. Thanks.
Ive gotten to where I don't put a ton of stock into these scouting reports. So many of them seem to be written up by the same guy and so many of them turn out to be so wrong.
This one could be spot on, I have no clue. I will go look at some video of Yankey and see how that compares to this write up, though.

Move your questions/thoughts to mock forum as requested and we can continue. Understand your point on scouting reports but all I listed were different guys. Just because people have same evaluations....Ive gotten to where I don't put a ton of stock into these scouting reports.

Oops.
Had to have been a reason he couldn't stick with a team. Surely wasn't a talent issue... heck, we didn't even put him on the field before we let him go did we?
