Just putting another young lineman out there who i think we should sign not usre if he was picked by houck but he has been in sand diego 6'6 350 mauler who can be a gaurd or tackle and is a great run blocker what do you think. Im just trying to keep my head off the qb situation but if brees and culpepper don fall through i want mccown

I love the way you transition from subject to subject. Sounds like the kid has potential but if we can't get him we don't need to worry because I love bacon.

Dude sounds like a road grader. Does he have good foot work?
 
Courtney Van Buren stinks. He did not do very well while he was with us and he had microsurgery on his knee in 2004 after being put on IR. Came to trainingcamp in 2005, hurt his knee again and went on IR.

I dont recommend him. Even with Houck, CVB was a bust who we reached for in the 3rd round in 2003.

I have no idea how his knee is doing but microsurgery isnt the best kind to have. He was not a very good pass blocker to say the least.

Sounded good until I learned that little tidbit.

Thanks for the info, Boltjolt.
 
I hate to sound negative, but we were hoping he would work out because he is huge . He was manhandled as a rookie who was forced into action. You never know , but he hasnt really played much since then because of his knee. If he is healthy ...he certainly would be cheap.

You wouldn't be telling us that just so your Chargers can re-sign him, are you?

Just joking 'bro. Thanks for the heads up. If there's any team in the AFC team who deserves a title (besides Miami ofcourse) it would be the Chargers. If (God forbid) there wasn't a Miami Dolphin football team then the 'Bolts would be my second choice. I think it has something to do with the great MIA-SD games I watched when I was young in the early eighties.
 
Having been at the 1981 playoff game against the Chargers, I find it hard to conjure up too much support for them in my mind.

Actually I have been to 2 Miami-SD games, I was at the one in 1972 when Griese got injured. I remember how deathly silent the Orange Bowl got whene everyone realized it was Griese that was down. It was like, "The End" of any hopes we had for that year. Little did we know...!
 
OH GOODNESS GRACIOUS--you might as well have Tinky Winky (the Telletuby) inthere than CVB. Im not going to say he stinks, but I will say that HE'S HORRIBLE!

Horrible footwork, horrible hands, horrible, horrible horrible.
