Sorry I don't work at the gas station. They don't allow radios at the office.

Thanks anyway.

I'd like to see him play DE with his speed and size he would be awsome.

[Pride]

Anyone else kinda excited about this move? I mean... 300+ of athletic TE playing OT? Interesting!

[pcnorth22]

I like it...I mean, it sounds interesting...

[EDS]

It is about time they made this move. He has no chance as a TE, but his athletic ability is enough to make him an interesting project at tackle.

[Pride]

maybe the finally figured out they need to move big mike to guard??

[RedEyE]

He'd make a great eligiable tackle inside the red zone too. Two TE set, play action pass.
