He was the guy that many wanted over Kevin Williams in the 2003 draft. He ended up being a mega bust, his best year with something like 3 or 4 sacks. Apparently he had serious motivation problems and was just generally lazy. He got by with just his talent and size in high school/college but it didn't quite cut it in the pros.

Maybe he just needs the right situation. Luck needs to be on our side for once. Maybe he will surprise us. He was a 1st rounder. He has to at least have some talent.

If anybody can light a fire under his ass it will be Jared Allen. Can you imagine what would happen if he sandbagged it in practice?

No.
If anyone can light a fire under his ass its Karl Dunbar.
He's a hell of a D-Line coach

Thanks for the read my friend......

I haven’t had a chance to sit and talk with him yet,” Childress said immediately after Wednesday’s practice.

How in the hell could he scout him, sign him, get him medically cleared, and on the practice squad and not have talked to him........ ;D (Sarcasim alert) ;D

Thats Speilmans job

Just think we almost drafted this guy ahead of Kevin, he must have something... but why was he available? I hope he can play up to expectations, and help in rotation with Wyms, and Evans.

I really liked this guy as a nice prospect coming out.
He's a guy who is a space eater that doesn't want to be a space eater.
He loves to play from the edge but doesn't have the speed/skills to do it at the NFL level.

Truth be told, I didin't even realize he was available.

Lets hope he gets his head on stratght this time around and adjusts to playing DT (inside) with this team.

NFL radio didn't inform you?
I can't wait to see what he can do. I remember him being hyped at the draft.

I actually only get to listen to them about 30 minutes a day (drive time to work).
Wish I could listen to them on my work puter but just can't seem to figure out how to get around the firewall issue.

As to Jimmy K....He likes to get after the QB from the edge.
I don't think he was/is comfortable eating up space in the middle (ala Phat Pat).

At first, I thought you were talking about Jimmy Kleinsasser cause I thought Jimmy K was his "nickname" on PP.O.
Hmmm... while we're at it. Why not put Kleinsasser in at DT
;D He has the size and strength... plus he has been blocking defenders his whole life. He should know the technique in and out by now
;D ;D

Im pleased

A good nose tackle when given the chance to play.. With our D around him he should be a great filler if Pat and Kevin can't go

Good rotational guy
