Looks like he might be on his way outta' Indy. Would you guys like to see AJ give him a chance? He has a past issue w/injuries...

Of course, this is the obligatory question with every single guy who might hit the market. :Beer:

The Sta-Puft Marshmallow Man in San Diego?
Sure, so long as he is amenable to a backup's salary.
Something tells me that he won't be amenable.

there was a reason the Eagles, and then the colts had no problem parting ways with him.

I'd prefer someone bulkier than 300lbs (he came from a Cover 2 where smaller lineman are better). Unless he could manhandle guys close to what Jamal does I'd pass.

i agree, he seems kind of small, not my first choice as a back up to jamal.
He was way over 300 when he played for Indy they said he was up to almost 350. He might be a decent gamble.

He's a guy who is looking for a starting position and yet another huge contract.
He won't settle for backup money and a guaranteed backup position.

He is a better fit as a 3-4 end than a 3-4 NT.

I would rather have Sam Adams at least he can stop the run simon cant thats why eagles/colts parted ways with him!!!
He's a better 4-3 DT

How about that guy as Jamal's backup. He's primed for a big year IMO.:LightsOut:

He did bulk up pretty big. However, in that third pic, he looks good with that nifty red tie.

He was mentioned on the NFL Network tonight: something of the sort that he was taken off injured reserve? I don recall: but what I DO recall was that Cory himself was surprised with knowing he was taken off, had to play. In other words , it seems he was just happy to sit and stuff his pie hole while milking out a paycheck. No thanks. give him to the Cardinals.

I haven't seen Ghostbusters, but that looks like a good rendition of Simon!
Sometimes, a guy does well in a new environment and system, but it seems everyone agrees that he's not tough enough to be a Bolt.

Yeah, I think if we look for a back up for the Wall, we get one that is young and that we can groom into the position. So, I'll pass on this one...

Residing in Cincinnati, I assure you the Bolts do not need, nor want, Sam Adams. Plus, he has already signed a one year deal with the Donkies. If he comes in to TC as fat as he did here, Shratahan, will cut bait. It's not worth fishing with a lure that weighs more than the catch and he is as obese as they come...I promise.:good:

Hard to believe a man nicknamed "The Beer Keg" would be obese. ;)
