Why the hell are we signing another tight end?

Re: Skins sign Yoder?
 

well i guess they think a 3rd TE is more important than a 2nd FB

Re: Skins sign Yoder?
 

they cut broughton.

Re: Skins sign Yoder?
 

Wow, first we let a Frenchy and a Canadian try out...now we SIGN an Amish player.

Re: Skins sign Yoder?
 

well...i would think its because...he is great at special teams...and a great physical blocker!!! i mean doesnt sound to bad to me...we needed a special teams upgrade and better blocking!!

Re: Skins sign Yoder?
 

We needed one more TE too.

Cooley and Fauria were out only 2 healthy TEs, weren't they?

Re: Skins sign Yoder?
 

Well this definitely helps solve our kicking problem beyond 40 yards....

Re: Skins sign Yoder?
 

Should have just kept Ortega.

maybe we would have, if he could block.


i was surprised broughton made the roster, and that we didn't have a 3rd TE. Hopefully this guy is a little more useful than nemo.

We should have signed Yoda. Dude would be a one man wrecking crew

he would have made the rest of the team look bad, and you don't want portis all depressed. that'd be bad PR.

Talk about a force to reckon with...

Re: Skins sign Yoder?
 

yoder scored a td against us years back when he was on bucs, i think i remember being like wtf this no-name is scoring on us

Re: Skins sign Yoder?
 

also, i think fauria has a bad ankle, but i dont know the severity

Re: Skins sign Yoder?
 

Maybe this guy can play defense!!!
ahhahaha.
Fauria really hurt?

Re: Skins sign Yoder?
 

This tells me that our coaching staff thinks our O-line is a bigger issue than our corners. I knew someone was going to be gone this week but i thought we would certainly pick up a nickel corner. Who knows. You deff have to trust in Gibbs. With the two great seasons our D has had, it would be easy to overlook problems. Pearson's injury is really going to sting unless Adam can learn to cover. We REALLY need Sean to play his role in run stop. I noticed on most the Vikes longer runs that Sean was arriving very late because he was way down field covering some 1.(like a blanket i might add) Still not concerned here. Going to take a few more weeks till O starts rolling, and boy will they!

Re: Skins sign Yoder?
 

Well last night we needed help on the blanket cover and I think you'll see Taylor help with Glenn and TO Sunday night. Cause we got burned. Sure it'd help to have him stopping the run which I think he did a decent job of Monday, but without Springs and a Ryan Clark we have deep coverage issues. The O will end up rolling but we must rely on ball control running to win more than trickery and Brunell telegraphing to the HB after much awesome movement by the rest of the team!

Re: Skins sign Yoder?
 

thusfar its looking like we needed a WR, kickers, and some depth and the offseason was a vast over-reaction...

but i'm still waiting a couple weeks to see how it shapes up. Springs needs to get back in there though.

Re: Skins sign Yoder?
 

John Hall is fine. Sure he missed the kick, but many many many fundamentals missed before the last few seconds. If ya want we can break it down to $ per day and positive/ negative play...
Cause I guarantee ya Snyder's boys have a chart for that!
Signed Tom Cruise...
I think cause he was in Risky Business, not cause he shagged Penelope Cruz, Nicole Kidman or Emilio Estevez.

Re: Skins sign Yoder?
 

come on lux. john hall is either hurt or missing kicks and you want to cut him some slack, but andre carter has 1 bad game and you are ready to get rid of him. hall has about worn out his welcome here

Re: Skins sign Yoder?
 

john hall was 2-3 last night. didn't hear andre carter's name 1 time and all I've heard since signing him is he's a beast! it was a question and didn't say anything about releasing him. Just asking peeps if they think he's a beast or a bust! ESPN has much worse questions and makes even worse assumptions about teams or players than I did in that case! As of now I've seen nothing from Carter except that he he was traded by Mike Nolan and the Niners...

Re: Skins sign Yoder?
 

Hall was 3/4 for the record.

As for Carter, too early to tell. Let's talk in November.

Re: Skins sign Yoder?
 

yoda's available? oh snap.

Re: Skins sign Yoder?
 

We needed a 3rd TE. Right now, Yoder is better than Ortega. Nobody wanted to sign another receiving TE (like the FA from DEN) in the offseason. As for Hall. I guess he deserves another shot especially since there aren't any obvious decent Ks available.

Re: Skins sign Yoder?
 

[quote=jrocx69;214706]also, i think fauria has a bad ankle, but i dont know the severity[/quote]

He's also getting up there in years.

Re: Skins sign Yoder?
 

I like this move. A lot. Special teamer and blocking TE. He's not a long term solution, but it's a good signing.

Re: Skins sign Yoder?
 

hall is 3/4 and he made 3 kicks from < 27 yards. that's not exactly impressive. he hasn't made a 50 yarder in what? 2 years?

Re: Skins sign Yoder?
 

wish we could have got vinateri

Re: Skins sign Yoder?
 

This may have already been brought up but I'm too damn lazy to go back through and look for it. But, does anyone remember the game against TB at FedEx back in 2003? Brad Johnson kept dumping the ball to Yodder and he absolutely killed us. If he can have that kind of success for us a couple of games a year I'd be really happy.
