So we just signed Fernando Velasco

So decent we had him, cut him, watched him try to get a job over Bell in Tennessee, fail, get cut then signed him back!

Super mah fuggin Bowl Bitches!

This has NOTHING to do with wanting Velasco back on the roster, but everything to do with being DESPERATELY thin at Oline with JJWatt & crew coming to town.

In case people didn't realize it, we only had 7 healthy linemen this a.m. before this move.

Our starting 5 (Remmers, Turner, Kalil, Norwell, Oher)

and 2 backups:  Amini Silatolu and Chris Scott.

2 guys to backup 5 in a week when you've got one of the best Dlines coming to town.

Wasn't gonna happen, and the only OLine on our PS are Foucault (UGH!) and the brand new Center signed yesterday.  So, it was pretty obvious when Chandler didn't practice yesterday that unless that changed today, we were gonna have to find someone we could plug and play.

I think we're pretty fortunate Tennessee cut Velasco and that he was available.

Thankfully they cut him and not Bell!!!  My word, can you imagine the Huddle meltdown if we had resigned Bell.  LOLOLOLOL!

    • Not sure how much he was a long term piece of this team.   Sucks to not have him as part of the rotation.   Looks like it's Lee Hunter time.     
    • This post was an error. Oops and sorry for the errors in the previous one. Too slow to edit.   We’ll see what they do.  
    • I am not sure he will put the over the games but we’ll probably have them.   Two things I am thinking.  We have 4 preseason games.  All the coaches have enough service time to know the standards that are in place for decades. If I recall it was play your starters just a series to start woth and build it up until week theee where play a lot and you have week four to set hour roster. Evaluate before cuts.   Bevell will certainly have the whole thing down pat.   I’d they don’t do the fries and frie air will worry too. Because it is set up to do that.     I have said since they went t three preseason people have to figure a new way are still feeling it out and trying things.  We don’t have to this year.
