    He's another guy with a reputation as a very good blocker, but it looks like he's been out of the NFL for a few years?

    Didn't our "current" FB get cut recently, anyway? Jamar Martin, I believe.

    He was signed to the Practice Squad...So we'll see how soon he'll be able to contribute.

    I can't remember off the top of my head but did he play much last year or was he already gone?

    I think he's on the active roster. Don't know that he'd be practice squad-eligible with 8 NFL seasons behind him.

    From Houston Chronicle NFL on-line.....scouting report

    ASSETS: Excellent in blitz pickup. Has decent hands
    FLAWS: Not much of a lead blocker. Very rudimentary running skills.
    CAREER POTENTIAL: A solid role player.

    Oh good, I was worried that he would be an asset to the running game.

    well, i think the houston chronicle is the ultimate source of scouting.


    gimme a break.

    heres and old pic of him. point is, he has to be better than what we have, all he has to do is get his hands on someones numbers and run forward

    [​IMG]


    granted, some people just have a knack for it, but I dont think we wouldnt sign him unless our coaches didnt think they could do something with him.

    That dude looks like a beast! I find it hard to believe he can't block the run. But I guess stranger things have happend.

    interesting. i read that one of the reasons, among other things, Jamar Martin got cut was because he "ballooned to 280lbs."

    Hodgins is 275lbs, but i guess if he's a better blocker and actually knows how to play the position than it doesn't matter.



    cheers
