Sounds like a good pickup for the running game. Mularkey and Co. could sway him, since they worked in Pitt. together.

Sounds like an injury risk.

[Tatonka]

he is an injury risk, but we will not be depending on him.. campbell is our man.. bruneur is a lock to come here.. a lock.

[kardshark19]

Good...so Campbell will still be our #1? I thought he played well, and can catch well too. Hope the Pitt boy doesn't get special treatment.

[Tatonka]

bruener wont get much money.. and he will just fill the role that dave moore did last season.. bruener.. when healthy, is like having an extra tackle to block.. he is an incredible blocker.. i think he would be a great fit here.. he obviously has some skills.. or he wouldnt have been a first rounder.

[Bmax]

draft ben watson in round 2 or some one else in round 3 or 4 ..

If we get him cheap then this is probably ok.

The word is that the Bills thought they could sign Moore for the minimum right after cutting him but TB jumped in and signed him.

We're in need of a backup but not anyone who will cost any real $$$$. Too many other holes to fill.

[Mr. Miyagi]

We cut Jay Riemersma.

Jay replaced Bruener in Pittsburgh.

So let's bring in the guy who was benched by a guy we cut.

Oke-doke. :cynic:

Jay replaced Bruener in Pitt because B was injured, not because he was a etter player....plus the steelers needed to add more of a pass catching threat to their offense, and we all know that riemersma can catch the ball....bruener is a blocker

Campbell is out starter and Bruener would be the backup!:up:
