Past the first two rounds in the 2011 draft, it was another typical day at the office for Jerry Angelo. By that, I mean another shit-slung day.

IIRC JT.T. did alright in coverage, also tipped a pass in the vs donks game. i could see him moving up.

Lol, Dags.

I hated JA only second to how much I despised Mad Martz. I wanted that douchebag gone in 2010.

But I will say this for JA (not much but something). He did pretty well in last years draft at the top, which counts most. He did get us Carimi, Paea, & Conte and all 3 will be starters this year. All 3 would have been last year too except for injuries to the first 2. All in all it wasnt a terrible draft, despite the stupid Enderle pick which I half blame on dickhead Martz.

Where JA (and Martz again) really f'd up last year was in FA. We whiffed on Bushrod and signed Roy 'mittens' Williams. That rocked.

And besides he's got a good LB name. JT Thomas......tackle by JT Thomas. Pass broken up by JT Thomas. That sack was by JT Thomas. Has a nice ring to it doesn't it? LOL

Everyone forgets that Lance Briggs was what, a fifth round selection in 2003? That's not that much difference in discernible talent level in my estimation.

Whoa! Slow down Slim!

He's making some plays against 2nd and 3rd stringers. Maybe he's not quite ready for the prime time yet but at least he should make the team and have an impact with "Toub's Terror's."

If J'Marcus Webb had this kid's character and drive we'd have our problem at LT solved already.

Eh, that's not fair. I don't think character is really Webb's problem, it could possibly be drive.

I never slow down when I'm with a beautiful woman. Give me eight seconds. That's all I need.
