Raiders waive John Paul Foschi

[Crossbones]

Foschi is gone.

Ricky Brown signed to active roster.

I can't understand why we can't use Foschi. He could help block.

 

[Rupert]

Strange days indeed.

Okay, which LB got hurt in practice this week?... Is my man Ekijiuba more seriously hurt than let on?...

Cue the "why'd we cut Riddle" rants... Crow!..

 

[Crow]

I'm on repetition restriction. Otherwise...





Damn strange move. I thought JP was supposed to be our best blocking back?

 

[hawaiianboy]

Apparently Irons is definitely out and Ekijiuba didn't practice on Friday so he's out as well.... I imagine Brown was brought up to replace Ekijiuba on special teams... Foschi probably gets resigned and Brown dropped once Ekijiuba can go...

I remember when we used to have great FBs, of course it was all fields round here back then and Bones had only just retired.

why did we sign ricky brown?...obvious answer.

Ricky Brown, Boston College (6-2, 230)
He was not invited to the Combine. At his Pro Day on March 15, he ran two 40s in 4.46 and 4.49 seconds. He also ran the short shuttle in 3.96 and the three-cone drill in 6.99. In addition, he had a 32-inch vertical jump, a 9-foot broad jump and 18 bench presses. He played defensive back in high school. At Boston College, he played as a true freshman in 2002 as a linebacker and wound up a two-year starter. He gives a very good effort, but he's not real instinctive. He should be a good special-teams player. He seems to be a Day 2 player with upside.

lol...speed gets us everytime

 

[Rupert]

Hey! Waitaminute! You forgot something. It's speed and potential. Gotta love it.
