( Merged)Skins Interested in Luke Petitgout

DO NOT TRADE BETTS. that would be a mistake. In the NFL today you need 2 backs atleast..

I just feel like there are teams out there that would be willing to give up an awfull lot for him. The man had 1,000 yds on 6 starts.

I have no problem holding on to him if we don't get offered anything that crazy, I just have a feeling that by draft time someone will realize they want Betts real bad.

Yeah, the Vilma and the #25 pick for Betts and our #6 pick made me want to barf. So I would have said thanks, but no thanks to that one.

If you're right, maybe they were just dangling something out there to see if we'd bite. Betts for a second is just right. Betts for a third and a player or another pick next year would be fine too.

But you definitely have to keep him if teams keep trying to offer us crap.

I hear you, but if the price is right, he'd be a real gem of a free agent pickup. Could be one of the more underrated acquisitions this season. OL depth is something we needed, and he'd fill that role perfectly.

I thought he'd been around longer than eight years -- turns out he was drafted in the same class as Jansen.

I thought he was older than that, too. If the price is right, it might make sense.

I think he's younger than Jansen and Thomas, and just a few months older than Rabach and Samuels.

I don't know if that means Petitgout is young...or our line is old.

If healthy he'd be a great pickup. I love the fact he can play guard and tackle.
I remember when Petitgout was drafted by the Giants (same year as Champ Bailey, but farther down the board), they weren't too happy at draft headquarters. But all-in-all, he's been a serviceable player, discounting the recent injury woes. If they can get him without giving him too generous of a bonus, why not?

Frankly (unintended MartySpeak), I'd rather pick up another "cheap" project or two and let Buges have a go at 'em. I believe they snatched Dockery off the trash heap from the Patriots cut list and he turned out decent after a year.

Welcome to the board. They drafted Dockery

Pettigout was drafted the same year as Jansen, Pettigout went in the 1st rd we grabbed Jansen in the second. Dockery was a 3rd rd pick after we drafted Jacobs.

pet-a-goat

as a ND fan he sucked at ND surprises me he has played as well as he has in the NFL> Brian Mitchell today said it would be a horrible move to sign him.

where did you see that?????
