    Has anyone watched Leonard Davis in the NFL. I remember him at Texas. And he was great. Can he play Left Tackle? Would he be a good pick-up for the Texans?

    He's been a dissapointment, he's a little to big for the zone blocking scheme IMO.

    He's an Arizona Cardinal and ther O-Line is worse then ours. Lets just build it through the draft and a couple of under the radar signings.

    As a backup LT?

    Regardless, I don't think he has the lateral quickness.

    We have Spencer and Salaam. Perhaps we can draft a prospect for 2-3 years down the road.

    He doesn't really fit Kubiak's system. Too fat and too slow like someone said. Kubiak likes his lineman small and quick. I expect them to rather go after Mike Gandy, Eric Steinbach, Kris Dielman, and Jordan Black.

    Kubiak likes his lineman quick and agile. He usually has to go with smaller players to get these traits. The drafting of Spencer shows that if he will get a big bigman if he thinks the guy is agile and quick enough.

    Davis is not quick or agile.

    Do you keep posting this kind of thing as a joke? If so, it isn't funny. If you're serious, why do you consider yourself a fan of a team that you clearly believe to be racist? What does that say about you?

    For once, please try to add something of substance.

    Leonard Davis has definitely been a disappointment after having great seasons at Texas. He is a really big dude with poor mobility, both things that don't fit the zone blocking scheme.

    But you keep saying it. If it's a joke, then please, for the love of G-d, let it die. It just isn't funny.
