Good job, lets keep up the momentum. Now I want to see Wright from the pats signed.

Yea Urban's blog just threw a wet blanket over any kind of free agent buzz.

 

[Pariah]

This is a very good signing. It will go largely unsung, but it's solid.

 

[CardsFan88]

Cool.

Anybody have info on him?

I read that but if they can bring wright to the fold at the right money i think they would be willing to cut back on the UDFA or the PS guys.

 

[TJ]

Can he do anything besides snap??

I understand he plays a mean game of ping-pong.

This was a position we had to fill and this is a good signing.

Thanks

Not to old, appears he's at least a decent tackler for a ls, and used to be a TE. Not bad. Recovered a muffed punt, not bad.

Weak group to start with AND the way a team is built is through the draft. If I was signing the checks , I would hire the best scouts out there....and that is something the team finally started to do durin gthe Graves administration, before that the team but little to no emphasis on that, oh yeah they used to subscribe to the $20 draft reports people buy,

 

[CardLogic]

The only question needing answered is, "Is Leach an improvement over Hodel?"

On the surface, it appears that he is; better production in ST tackles, and he can operate a bit as a TE! Of course if he screws up even once in snapping we'll be screaming for someone's head for getting rid of Hodel...

 

[Savage58]

Kudos to the FO.

 

[Jetstream Green]

age does not matter with a long snapper...haven't some played like over 15 years...didn't we have a guy who was like in his 17 year LOL

You know the funny thing is that in the past you could never go by what the organization said about free agency. The year they signed Edge they told us not to expect anything in free agency and then BAM they signed EJ. They lie to us sometimes!

 

[Garthshort]

They do need a DT (Antonio Smith), either in FA or the Draft. I expect CC to be the starter, but the only depth at the two DT positions is Kenny Iwebema, unless the team thinks that Jason Banks can play the position. Wright seems like a good possibility.
