Lurker Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 Nice writeup on Ikard coming out of Oklahoma... http://www.footballnation.com/content/scouts-eye-view-gabe-ikard-c-oklahoma/29069/
Doc Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 They claimed him off waivers from Titans. He has to be added to active roster. Oh. I thought he wasn't invited to any camp this year, meaning he was a street FA.
CSBill Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 I like that he can also play center and guard
JM57 Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 Seems like one of those guys whose measurable don't jump off the page at you but have good technique and play better than their numbers indicate they would

He'll be the brightest guy in the locker room, anyway... Edited September 6, 2015 by Lurker
Coach Tuesday Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 Nice writeup on Ikard coming out of Oklahoma... http://www.footballnation.com/content/scouts-eye-view-gabe-ikard-c-oklahoma/29069/ Indeed - sounds like an intriguing pickup.
Nanker Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 Interior OLine depth. Just what the Dr. ordered.
BuffaninATL Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 looks like a very good pickup in a position of need; doesn't hurt that he's very smart and apparently solid in the locker room.....
Saxum Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 Good... I think. Does anyone know if the cleaning staff at OBD was told about it in advance, or is this just another example of power going to Whaley's head? #roguetothebone. Whaley is such a Nanker ....
Special K Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 Can't be worse than Cyril Richardson, who he is essentially replacing on the roster.
LA Grant Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 He's played left guard in the past and could play either guard spot at the next level, but a great deal of his value lies in his ability to lead an offensive line from the center position, make the correct calls and make the players around him better from that leadership role, at guard he would pretty much be just another guy. Ikard could be in the mold of a Matt Birk as a guy who slips to the latter portions of the draft because of a lack of impressive measurables but ends up being a decade long starter thanks mainly to what he has upstairs. from Lurker's http://www.footballnation.com/content/scouts-eye-view-gabe-ikard-c-oklahoma/29069/ Sounds like he's more like a Center than a Guard (although he plays both), which is good, since Urbik is more of a G than a C. Those botched snaps in Detroit were a definite concern. Ikard sounds like he could potentially push Wood next year. Solid pick-up.
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 (edited) will we see him inserted sooner or later then 1 Oct? Edited September 6, 2015 by BillsFan-4-Ever
yungmack Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 Whaley is such a Nanker .... Don't go all Phelge on us...
Hapless Bills Fan Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 According to his agent. OG. Guard and C I think. And tying threads together, right now his Wikipedia page is a must-view, check it out Good... I think. Does anyone know if the cleaning staff at OBD was told about it in advance, or is this just another example of power going to Whaley's head? #roguetothebone. Someone really ought to have one of these framed and sent to Whaley's office
Charles Romes Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 I like the concept of skavanging poorly run teams for overlooked talent. Titans have not shown that they have much of clue the last half decade.
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 So explain to me what players can get added to practice squad? As I understand it only players with I believe it less than 4 years are PS eligible. Players with more than 4 years exp who are released become UFA Therefore anyone with less than 4 years would go through waivers But if a player who went through waivers has to be added to active squad, then how would anyone ever end up on PS (as must have less than 4 years for PS)?? Either I'm missing something or the statement below can't be true as with what I wrote above there's no path to PS?? They claimed him off waivers from Titans. He has to be added to active roster.
Best Player Available Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 Don't go all Phelge on us... I see what you did there
