[ThaShark316]

According to SR610.

Rich Lord was saying..."they're going nuts"

Haha, nice signing, to add some depth.

 

[GhostRaider2006]

as per Sports Radio 610.
So it looks like we have another lb and wr on the team.

Marc Vandemeer just announce this.

Thanks for the info guys

Another veteran leader and run stuffer to compete in the middle

 

[keyfro]

rainer is an intriguing signing...the guy has been a middle linebacker and a strongside linebacker in the pros...i personally think he has a chance to push both cowart and wong for playing time along with orr...the best part about this is that we are adding competition at almost every position with DB's being the one position we really haven't addressed yet

Maybe they're still looking...

 

[kiwitexansfan]

Look for at least two DB's on the first day of the draft.... then we would be hugely improved

Think of it this way. They have the following picks in the 2nd, 3rd, & 4th rounds:

#33
#65
#66
#98

They could go half Olinemen and half DBs. That's four prospects out of the top 100 for the line and secondary.

Also, maybe there's a free agent DB out there who might be a decent pickup. I haven't looked at the list in a while, though.

One tackle in the 2nd would make me happy!!! What an off season!!!!

 

[MightyTExan]

This is a whole new team.
I feel as if a great weight has been lifted from my soul............

 

[SESupergenius]

Don't get your hopes up on Rainer, he's on his downside.

I'm hoping for:

#33 - Winston
#65 - CB
#66 - OL
#98 - LB

or

#33 - Cromartie
#65 - John Scott
#66 - OL
#98 - LB

Your 100% right. His best season was in his rookie year

 

[HJam72]

#33 - Winston
#65 - CB
#66 - OL
#98 - LB

or

#33 - Cromartie
#65 - John Scott
#66 - OL
#98 - LB

I really like the first one, but what are we going to do about the FS?

[HJam72]

Shouldn't Moulds be on the right side?

 

[Ibar_Harry]

Shouldn't Moulds be on the right side?

Not if you are thinking about running.

 

[Errant Hothy]

Rich Lord is going nuts because he said today Michaell Wie is going to be better then Tiger Woods..........

Who's this Michael Wie you speak of. Did Michelle have a bad accident with a sausage press.

 

[newbiefan]

#33 - Winston
#65 - CB
#66 - OL
#98 - LB

or

#33 - Cromartie
#65 - John Scott
#66 - OL
#98 - LB

I really like the first one, but what are we going to do about the FS?

perhaps cedric griffin instead of OL considering we alrdy got winston and look for a round 6 OG

 

[Texas]

We could move Buchanon to FS...He may fare well there.
