I love the Havner signing. He's a very wellrounded LB. The others I don't know anything about. I'd really like to see us sign Mike Kudla (DE Ohio St.) He's got too much potential to ignore. He tied a combine record with 45 reps in the BP. Also ran a good 40.

I hope that's not Rocky getting choked in that picture.
We might have another Westbrook Davis incident.

We did really well signing undrafted guys. I think some of them have real potential. At the very least, they should push the players on our roster and make things more competitive during camp.

The last punter to come from down under did pretty well for himself. I can't remember his name but he punted for the Chargers for years. He wasa huge bloke too!

We're probably looking for a #3 RB behind Portis & Betts. I think Cartwright will be the starting FB.

Dont know him at all but if he went through the college system then we would not as the college game gets almost nil media coverage here.

This was correct - and we saw his first game over here as he was a great aussie rules player as well.
Here we expect everyone to tackle and I can still remember how shocked the opposition (think it was against the Raiders)punt returner was when Darren absolutely annihilated him on a return
