nick in* england Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 I have a suggestion for a big run stuffing DT for the Bills... Marv - get 'er done! He's Lorn Mayers.

30dive Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 Hell I'm on Nick.....What the worse thing that could happen? Cut him? Sign him?I'll tell you 6'4" - 320lbs that would work for me. I would, however, think that the Raiders have kept their eyes on him.
Ghost of BiB Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 A DT that plays basketball? Must have some agility.
nick in* england Posted March 24, 2006 Author Posted March 24, 2006 A DT that plays basketball? Must have some agility. 641023[/snapback] When this guy played on my team - he showed us his agility by pinking up a basketball and showboating dunks. Ever seen a 6-4, 320lb guy hanging from a rim and beaming??? I walked backwards in case the hoop broke.
sfladave Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 I remember you posting some pics of this guy last year when arrived at the Oakland camp last year. Didn't you play ball with him Nick? Good luck to your buddy's shot at the NFL, if he were to make the Bills squad, it would be great to really have someone on this board who actually has a legit inside source at OBD. It would be interesting to get an scoop of what is happening inside the locker room from a players perspective.

The Dean Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 I'll jump on, too. Bring him in for a look-see. If nothing else, camp fodder. Maybe he'll be more than that.
tennesseeboy Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 sounds like a plan. Sign him up, bring him on and let's get moving toward the superbowl.

Beerball Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 Well, OK, as long as he doesn't have an unusually long neck.
Sisyphean Bills Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 Well, OK, as long as he doesn't have an unusually long neck. 641106[/snapback] We don't want any of that!

Ever seen a 6-4, 320lb guy hanging from a rim and beaming??? I walked backwards in case the hoop broke. 641036[/snapback] Nick, I am assuming this guy was not on the oakland practice squad last year? Any insights why?
nick in* england Posted March 24, 2006 Author Posted March 24, 2006 Nick, I am assuming this guy was not on the oakland practice squad last year? Any insights why? 641169[/snapback] He was not on the PS because he was justr 19 back then. And with only qa year of football under his belt. The plan is that he plays more extensively this year in NFLE for Berlin and get s a shot on a PS again this year. I'd say after NFLE this year and a PS year he could challenge to start in the NFL.
EC-Bills Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 I have a suggestion for a big run stuffing DT for the Bills... Marv - get 'er done! ... 640981[/snapback] I say bring him into the fold!
N.Y. Orangeman Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 I can handle the Scots and the Welsh, but absolutely no Englishmen.
Guest BackInDaDay Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 Is he a skinhead? Because Kelly Holcomb's uncomfortable around skinheads.
