    i know he is still young. He’s probably a better center than long who also can play guard. I know he’s had. A few injuries. Is he worth it to sign him. He would be a upgrade to the o lineright?

    Reading from Dolphin fans that if he can stay healthy, sure. But also that he should be playing guard & can't anchor against NTs for shit.

    Sign him before Jonathan Martin kills him with that shotgun.

    I’d take a look and then say nah we already got a likely cheaper better C that can’t stay healthy.

    Is he a center? If so for the right price and bump Long to Guard. if he's a guard not sure. My bigger question does he fit the zone blocking scheme. Not sure. Because of this I'd probably not sign him but won't be upset.

    Does anyone have character concerns given his connections to Aaron Hernandez?

    Can he though? I mean he graded out pretty badly last year and missed time in each of the 4 seasons prior.

    According to PFF our very own Spencer Long was a much better C than Pouncey.

    Not a joke, Tony, but perhaps a little tongue in cheek.

    If anything move pouncy to guard. His last successful season was at the position.
    His best playing days are behind him and he has been battling injuries. Not really the kind of vet you want around our young people so. Especially the ones we already have concerns with.

    No chance.. although ironically enough I’m sure CMB on the fan would advocate t since they support two other headcases coming here- Suh and Honey Badger

    Don't think it fits for a our early FA targets.

    He's getting on. Injury risk with not much upside.

    When were brining in injury type players it's those that are younger with higher upside.

    I feel more comfortable with Mac on the pro scouting side than on the college scouting side currently.

    id take the honey badger in a second. i think i heard, and it may have been on cmb that pouncey was cut because he wasnt interested in a paycut and wanted more money? i may be wrong on that last part. hes a decent player but he isnt his brother.

    and yes he is a center and has a brother maurkice. smh...

    i have no concerns with his character, i just dont think he is worth nearly the money i am hearing he wants to get paid.

    Doesn't everybody have a cold blooded murderer as a good friend that you're willing to stand up for?
