Our 1st Big Signing !!

[MDS]

Looks like I'll be going to a number of games this year with the bandwagon fans jumpin off cause we didn't sign anyone less than 16 hours into free agency.

[The BIGSTUD]

I'm not jumping off the bandwagon. I still love the team, but I'm not going to dish out the big bucks, unless they have something to show for it at the end of free agency.

I'm not talking about right now. I'm just angry and I'm venting. I'm beside myself right now, and I'm sober right now so the anger is showing even more.

I say we sign CB Fakhir Brown hes not that good a player but man would it be fun to chant his first name at games

Matt Schoebel > Stephen Spach

UPGRADE!

We had to get a backup TE somewhere.  I'm glad to have him on board. 

Here's the link to his info at STATS.com:

http://snap.stats.com/stats/nflinfo/playerstats.asp?id=5953&Submit=Go

He is 6'5, 260.  Workout numbers from his Pro Day prior to the Draft:

4.75 in the 40
34.5 VJ
10.0 BJ

Pretty good athlete.  Similar player to Chad Lewis.  Good rcvr, marginal blocker, good size. 

I understand the frustration with the Bentley debacle and the desire to get an impact guy in here.

I don't like it.

If they were going to get another TE it had to be either a phenominal player (Davis) or an outstanding blocker. Schobel is neither.

I believe our old buddy Tony Stewart was taking playing time away from this gem of a player.

I gotta disagree with ya Phreak. 

I'm fine with LJ as the starter.  I wanted a good backup.  A good blocker would have been nice if we were a running team.  We're not.  We pass the ball 60% of the time.  We need a backup TE who can catch the ball.  Matt fills that need. 

If Vernon is available, I think Reid will find a way to carry 4 TEs on the roster.

Don't mind me, bro. I'm just throwing a temper tantrum. The loss of Bentley pisses me off. 

But when I read that the first person I thought of was James Whalen.

This F.O. is really starting to piss me off! Why do we have the most undrafted free agents? Because our draft choices have sucked and bombed. Talent evaluators need to get upgraded

FIRE DAVE CULLEY

No probs.  I understand completely.  For some reason, I'm taking FA in stride this year.

I was surfing on the Bengals MB trying to get some info on our new stud TE, and I came across this...

I took last years in stride. This year is going to cause me to harden my liver to epic proportions. What I am hoping for is that they scoop up Peterson and a DT like tomorrow. That would make me happy.

I'm sure that site is rocking.
