i dont get it. didn't read that article but i thought hed be a decent backup center.

[SABURZFAN]

the guy was a wasted roster space.

[The_Philster]

He's the only guy on the roster other than Teague who's played C in the NFL. How's that a wasted roster space? I Teague gets through the season without injuries or we could be in serious trouble.

[SABURZFAN]

i just feel that conaty is not an NFL center.not even for a backup.there has to be somebody available that is better.

All I know is that he's got experience as a starter. Other than Price now we have no one!!!

Jennings, Brown, Teague, Sullivan, Williams starting, presumably.

Price key backup.

Pucillo, 2nd year, 7th rounder, no experience
Hollenbeck, 2nd year, undrafted FA, no experience
Sobieski, rookie, 5th round, no experience
Byrd, Watkins, Sands, all rookie FAs, no experience

Does this deeply concern anyone else??

Again, I'm in the "what's TD thinkin'?" mode here! The FO/Coaches would have to be stupid to think that:

A. We will have as few injuries to our starting OL as we did last season, and even then, we'll need backups.

B. That Drew is capable of playing behind anything other than a B+ or better OL.

[Ebenezer]

I agree, he's not the second coming of Kent Hull, maybe not even the second coming of Mike Montler, but come on, he has some experience. Every team needs as much depth as possible.

[Earthquake Enyart]

I'm not worried. Canaty had every chance to take the starting job last year and didn't do it. He's kinda small, anyhow.

[WG]

You miss the point EE!

What, you'd rather see Pucillo, or Hollenbeck, or any of the others??

We'd better sign someone soon!

This is exactly why I said that out of any of our draft picks, Sobieski excited me the most for starting this season. Not that I'm happy at the prospect of a 5th rounder starting OL man, but he's likely the only player who will fill an immediate need for this season.

Let's just hope he isn't forced into starting, eh.

[SABURZFAN]

doesn't jennings have experience at C?

if so,wouldn't that give price some playing time?

[Throne Logic]

I'm going with, "Trust in TD. He's got a plan."

So far, it's worked well. . .

[Earthquake Enyart]

I think they like Pucillo.

I'll never understand how you guys can fall in love with these below average players all the time.

[Pride]

Until he signs with someone else, there is always a chance he will re-sign.

We're all sorry EE, we all missed that Pucillo quietly, as a 7th rounder, slipped by us all in the status of the all-pros w/ zero starts and virtually no experience.

Forgive us for thinking that a guy like Conaty who at least started for a full season my in fact be a better backup!

Sorry!



And what, Pucillo isn't "below average"?

Yeah, TD liked Ferris, Charles Johnson, and Jones while GW liked E. Robinson! That and a buck will get you a cup of coffee!

Weren't we all told by the same people who are touting Pucillo, if in fact that's even the case, how much Johnson and Robinson would bring to the table?

Yeah, we all saw what Robinson brought! Pennington saw it too! If this is the judgement you're talking about, then yeah, I'm still concerned!

[John Doe]

I guess that we are doomed. Who would have thought that Conaty was that important? Donohue should be held accountable for this! Can he be impeached?
