That was a great move. So far every ex- Eagle we have brought in has been very successful.

Sarcasm, its not just for sitcoms anymore...

;D

I'm just kidding around with this coughing thing.
Personally, I really like this addition.

Except if we lose TRich (which it looks like we will) then it is really subtraction through addition...if that makes sense.

Has anyone else heard about him having issues with blocking?

Exactly what he said, they've all been very successful, might as well keep the strategy.

Good news. Looks like we're 2 for 2 on prospects that have come to visit. Let's make it 4 for 4 with Berrian and Smith.

Positivity!

Tapeh is a local guy, that is good all the way around.

Welcome home Thapeh! I love this kid. As of all U of Minnesota backs, he runs hard an fights for every yard.

Of course that's not the problem. Thapeh is not a very good blocking RB (actually he's never been given that chance), so that may raise some concerns.

I would like us to move Klieny (if he's still on the team) to FB.

Not just a former Eagle, he was a former St Paul Johnson HS player and a former Gopher!

BTW, how many of all these guys were top tier players.
They are role players!
Why ya'll so negative?

Ouch.
Maybe he'll be the first former Eagle to work for us.
Its bound to happen sooner or later

Guess we're still paying them back for the whole Cris Carter thing
;D

Just a little humor on the Eagle connections and the high impact they've had to date.
I haven't seen what we paid for him, but yes, he is just a role player.
I hope Tapeh does well here.
Always good to have a home town boy on your squad, worth a few ticket sales and a few feel good stories.
