Damn fine number!

Anyone know why he's listed at 234 lbs?

We were pondering that earlier. They listed him at 257 on the press release. Who knows.

He gets to continue the grand tradition of the number 99 uniform that Vonnie Holliday left behind...

As far as the Number, I could see him getting one in the 50's as soon as decisions are made on which of our FA LB's come back.

I was puzzled with the weight listing as well. Maybe he dropped 20 lbs or so missing most of the season and having surgery.

Didn't he wear 97 in Pissburgh?

That's Fox's number I think.

Q: Do you plan on him being your middle linebacker?

PETERSON: “I don’t think I ever said that. Maybe someone else did. I have been negotiating with (his agent) Todd France on a linebacker that can play more than one position. I think obviously that is one of the reasons we were attracted to Kendrell Bell. Where he lines up will be determined in competition in training camp. He has been playing in a “30” defense in his career in Pittsburgh.”

This is for those who read that we are focusing on CB and not going after Hartwell too.

I don't know how we could work him and a CB and possibly S, cap and cash wise, but if they could make it work I would like to see it.

Might have something to do with 234 lbs too. who knows.

He said one of the reasons he got injured was from squating too much. Maybe he had been working out and putting on too much weight in general?

booger · 03-09-2005, 12:17 AM

didn't notice the "pissburgh"

keg in kc · 03-09-2005, 12:17 AM

You left out a pretty pertinent part

Q: Does this end your pursuit for free agent linebackers?

PETERSON: “We will turn our attention to another defensive position of need. We were negotiating at the same time with (LB) Ed Hartwell. etc. etc.

IIRC he has always been listed in the 250 to 260 range.

Don't forgot about Duane Clemons and Vaughn Booker before that.

Yeah i know.

I just hope they don't plan on keeping Mitchell on the field.

I'd rather we look at another LB.

He did say though that " as you all know we have needs at more than just one LB position" so that is a positive note.

beer bacon · 03-09-2005, 12:22 AM

Carl's Q&A was pretty damn confusing to me. When he started talking about Hartwell I wasn't sure if he was saying they they were still in negotiations with him or if they had been but stopped once Bell was signed and were moving on to CBs. It was probably his intent to be as vague as possible.

He had a "sports hernia" from having too much weight on the bar for squats, and his other injury was a high ankle sprain where he rushed back to playing before he should have, and that's really the two things that have caused him to be "injury prone"....
