Damn, I was hoping he was going to have a huge year so that Sid Hartman would go have fits struggling with that name.

Both of them missed a lot of games last season. Maybe injury concern was part of it. I can't say how they looked in camp, because I wasn't following them.

They both played pretty well.

He'd just give up and call him Adam Eche.

Rastak,

Is Offord a guy the Pack should look at? He's got to be a better 4th S then Tra Boger, right?

Liwienski is about the only guy of worth. Maybe Offord--since we need a 4th string safety badly.

I love training camp reports. Some really liked Chris Jones. There were rumors that Beckham was impressing them. I loved the Dallas game where Beckham probably should have a PI. Then, he gives some kind of pose. He did the pose on two different plays. Very Ahmad Carroll of him.

I sure would if I were TT, I'm kinda pissed they cut him. He's a hard hitting safety who played really well last year before tearing his ACL. Heck he's had a couple picks the last two weeks to boot. I guess they wanted to keep Wil Hunter who also played pretty well. Plus Greg Blue is very similar to Offord.

Beckham has size and they did like him but it was a numbers game. Whitaker tore up NFL Europe and played really well this preseason. Dustin Fox was a major bust for the Vikes though. 3rd round pick's don't grow on trees.

And man, do we know about that.
