DL help Gilbert Brown?

[melbar]

I know , I know he's OLD! But the mans a TREE TRUNK. We NEED a TREE TRUNK! He's healthy and as of September he was looking for a team to make a comeback. Wouldnt it be nice to have 1 guy that isnt getting shoved around on the line? We need the depth , and I cant think of anyone else who would be available. Why not at least give it a shot till Sims makes his return working toward his next injury. :rolleyes:

[Skip Towne]

Did you know....... HE'S OLD?

[Simplex3]

As long as he isn't looking to get rich I think it's a hell of a move. All you want him to do is stand up and take two blockers.

[Dunit35]

nope...too old... hes been in league since 93...

[Skip Towne]

Well, he IS a Jayhawk, why not?

[Dunit35]

why not get Billy Bob..he blocked a punt and is a mammoth..

[DJay23]

Well, he IS a Jayhawk, why not?
Beat me to it. :KU:

[Skip Towne]

Beat me to it. :KU:
Who was his running mate? That dude was as bad as Gilbert. Played for the Niners I think.

[KcMizzou]

Screw the salary cap. Can we afford to feed him?

[DJay23]

Who was his running mate? That dude was as bad as Gilbert. Played for the Niners I think.
Dana Stubblefield

[DJay23]

Was that the last time KU finished in the Top 25? Did we finish in the Top 25? I seem to remember we had 10 wins that year after the bowl game.

[KcMizzou]

Dana StubblefieldThank you. That was driving me nuts.

[Archie Bunker]

I would take any warm body that plays DT.

[tk13]

He wouldn't help our pass rush at all, and we've done a pretty good job of stopping the run save the Denver game. I'd rather have somebody with better pass rush skills.

[Skip Towne]

Dana Stubblefield
Yep. Max Falkenstein said he was afraid to go toward the back of the plane with those two guys back there.

[Dunit35]

What happened to Hicks yesterday? someone wanna help me out...?

[Skip Towne]

What happened to Hicks yesterday? someone wanna help me out...?
Hicks made it on camera twice. Didn't do shit either time.

[KcMizzou]

Hicks made it on camera twice. Didn't do shit either time.Blocked a FG :shrug:

[Dunit35]

Hicks made it on camera twice. Didn't do shit either time.

I mean when he got hurt?

[KcMizzou]

I mean when he got hurt?I hadn't heard anything about an injury to Hicks. Maybe I missed it... had to listen to the game at work.

[Dunit35]

I hadn't heard anything about an injury to Hicks. Maybe I missed it... had to listen to the game at work.

Towards the end of the game I thought...must not be anything cause no ones talking about it..

[tk13]

Hicks got his knee bent awkwardly if I remember right. I don't know what his status is... I can't even remember if he came back in the game or what happened. By that point in the game my brain was mush. I thought he was playing decently though... he's probably making more things happen than most of our other linemen.

[ROYC75]

I was thinking we were # 9 or 10 after thrashing UCLA.

ROFL thats not saying much though

[RedThat]

Gilbert Brown? Nah. He old. He can't even play 3 downs, im wondering if he can at least play 2 downs? Nah dont want him I'll pass. I agree with tk13, we need a DT with some passing rushing skills. We dont have that. Our DT's are okay at stopping the run. However, they are not good at rushing the passer.

[ROYC75]

I know , I know he's OLD! But the mans a TREE TRUNK. We NEED a TREE TRUNK! He's healthy and as of September he was looking for a team to make a comeback.

TREE TRUNK ? What does that make Jason Whitlock, a forest ? Insert Jason, we win ?

We screwed the pooch by not picking up Corey Simon.

[Lzen]

I believe KU finished in the top 10. I thought that was the year that 3 Big 8 teams finished in the top 6, actually. At least this is what I remember. Somebody else can look it up to verify.
Nebraska #1
KSU #5
KU #6

[chagrin]

I was kidding about that yesterday, no way dude

[Hoover]

So who are the three players we cut or put on IR to bring back Warfield, Welbourn, and our new All World DT Gilbert Brown?

[wolfpack0735]

there is nobody that can play the D-L left this time of year. or that is any good to bring in.

[Saulbadguy]

Gilbert and Dana were gone before that 1995 season. Damn, I figured you Jayhawk fans would know that. :p

Hey, Saul, did you see where Tom Kivisto laid several million dollars on the KU football program? He was on the '88 NC basketball team. Maybe KU's football fortunes will take an upturn.

[Saulbadguy]

Hey, Saul, did you see where Tom Kivisto laid several million dollars on the KU football program? He was on the '88 NC basketball team. Maybe KU's football fortunes will take an upturn.
Yeah, I saw that. 10 million to KU, 2 million earmarked for the football program. They need dedicated facilities to the football team, including offices for the coaches. Right now the coaches offices are in AFH..that's sad. KU and ISU probably have the worst facilities in the Big XII, this donation will definatley help out.

However, I still think this is Mangino's last year. Lew wants to hire his own guy.


BTW, Kivisto wasn't on the 88 championship team. He played in the 70's. Ted Owens era IIRC.

Thanks, Tom must be little brother. Did you know John Riggins had two brothers who also played football for KU? Junior Riggins was a year or two older than John and was a decent RB. The little brother broke all of John and Junior's HS records then promptly fell flat on his face at KU.

Yeah. One of my co-workers grew up around Centralia, and knew the family. He said John Riggins dad forced him to work out all the time. He'd tie him to a pick up truck and make him pull it through the corn fields, and shit like that.

He also said John was a WILDman. Had more women and booze than he knew what to do with throughout high school.

[Saulbadguy]

Speaking of KU football, We are going to beat your ASSES this weekend! :ksu:

And this Wednesday in Volleyball. :)

John and Junior were a KU at the same time. They were both uncontrollable. Once they tore up the student union and Pepper Rodgers said he wouldn't let John play that week. The AD said "But coach, we play Mizzou this week". Rodgers said "By God, I won't let him play next week"

First things first. Work on getting your punter back there on STs punting plays. ;)

Here's the answer to our DT needs:

Panthers | Freeman Released
Sat, 3 Sep 2005 17:59:32 -0700

Pat Yasinskas, of the Charlotte Observer, reports the Carolina Panthers have released DL Eddie Freeman.

Uh, j/k... :Lin: :cuss:

[philfree]

So who are the three players we cut or put on IR to bring back Warfield, Welbourn, and our new All World DT Gilbert Brown?


Looks like we'd only have to cut one player or maybe just place one of our injured players on IR.

CHIEFS RELEASE C JOHNATHAN INGRAM
Oct 04, 2005, 2:55:54 PM



Kansas City Chiefs President Carl Peterson announced on Tuesday that the club had released C Johnathan Ingram. The club has also released RB Sam Gado from the practice squad.



Ingram (6-2, 300) saw duty in two games for the Chiefs in 2005. He spent the final six weeks of the 2004 season on the club’s active roster, but was inactive for all six games. Ingram also participated on Kansas City’s practice squad for the first 10 games last season after starting all 10 games for the Frankfurt Galaxy of NFL Europe in 2004.

The San Diego State alum saw action in 36 games (32 starts) for the Aztecs and earned honorable mention All-Mountain West honors as a junior. The Indio, California native prepped at La Quinta High School in La Quinta, California.

Gado (5-11, 210) played in 39 games at Liberty, rushing 273 times for 1,631 yards (6.0 yards) with 16 touchdowns and adding 38 receptions for 486 yards (12.8 avg.) with six TDs. He carried the ball 138 times for a career-high 901 yards (6.5 avg.) with 11 TDs and was named first-team All-Big South. The two-time all-state selection was a prep standout at Ben Lippen High School in Columbia, South Carolina, rushing 207 times for 2,007 yards with 26 scores as a senior.

If Eddie would have stayed healthy he'd probably still be a Chiefs. If he's healthy now I wouldn't be all oppossed to him being a Chief. He did have 4 sacks as a rookie when Sims was out for the year.

This guy's name in the preseason dailies came up all the time. Sounded like he was gonna be one of those "FINDS." How come he has fallen so far?

That was absolutely the dumbest play I've witnessed in 50 years of watching football. Nice, KSU.

[Thig Lyfe]

We screwed the pooch by not picking up Corey Simon.

I miss that guy.

Any Wendell Bryant sightings?

Now there was a guy we all thought would be good......just goes to show ya never know.

I miss that guy.

Yeah. Me neither too.

One of very few times my gut feeling about the future of a projected first rounder was wrong. I actually wanted us to draft him.

That's the reason why I was pissed when he went to the Colts, because I had a gut feeling we needed him.
