He just got released from the Chargers.

The guy is only 26. He was a 2nd round pick. He started 26 games the last 2 years. Yes, he did struggle a bit but he won't be forced to start here and a change of scenery might do him some good. The guy has the physical skills and hits like a truck.

The only issue is that he isn't the veteran back up the bills are looking for. However, I would rather have a guy like him with some potential than a guy like Blaine Bishop or Victor Greene who are on the downside of their careers.

I think they should bring him in for a look. He's a tough hitter who does have youth on his side. If his asking price isn't too high, he's healthy enough to play, and he has the right mindset (we don't need any egos or head cases here!), why not?

I like it bring him in for a look. Depth is always good to have. You never know he could end up kicking ass.

How's prison treating you Casdhf?

Or are you only a security guard?

I'm just a wanna be, I don't have a negative enough attitude yet. I'm working at it.

There is enough guys on the roster who can hit. What I want to know is: Can he cover?

I could help you with your negative attitude if you'd like.

If the price is right, why not take a chance. He probably won't retire.

My fav. prison guard joke:

How many prison guards does it take to knock an inmate down the stairs?

None, he fell.

He was calaimed by the Bengals 12 hours after he was cut.I guess they see something that the Chargers didnt.I'll bet with Lewis is a better judge of talent than Shotty.

we need a ballhawk not a hitter, we got enough hitters as is
