Adimchinobe Echemandu... RB..... California.......................... 3rd Year

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?

[HarveyWallbangers]

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.

Career stats for Willie Offord:

47 games, 76 Tackles, 2 INT

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.

3rd round pick's don't grow on trees.

And man, do we know about that.
