Yep...coached Jihad Ward as well.

 

Phair’s input likely has value to Ballard, Reich and Flus. Consist that in regards to a certain other DT currently on the street.

Good point, in regards to when Phair was at TB and his insight for that certain player. 

 

Even if a guy is considered a “camp body”, they’re valuable.  We want the competition to be as tough as possible. Ideally our roster cuts are good enough to make someone else’s team. 

[Coltsman1788]

I doubt that this signing solves anything.

[dodsworth]

Somehow I don't believe our interior defensive line is yet finished

morphing, regardless of this signing. 

[Scott Pennock]

Ballard has made it clear there are no camp bodies, however, he would have to ball out to actually earn a spot on the roster.

 

Besides, true nose tackles don't have to be fancy, household names - they just need to occupy two men and hold up against the run!

[MTC]

Great name for a defensive tackle.

Little known fact - his real name is Fat Bas...  never mind...

[lollygagger8]

Dang, now I'm hungry 

 

[NorthernBlue]

Now we just gotta sign Dee Liner and the DLine will be set for names
