Camp body.

From what I read not a bad pick up. Glad we did something.

I'm such a damn homer. I tend to think every guy we pick up will blossom into the next Bruce Smith. Hey, with a little work..........

[Captroop]

Not hating, but these UDFAs have next to no shot winning a starting job, and we already have a surfeit of young unexperienced DTs. Is it too much to hold out for someone who has actually started a game at DT at the NFL level?

That being said, I think we have some fluff in our young DTs, so I hope Hypolite (Awesome name) is an upgrade.

Generally I agree Capt, but Kemo wasn't drafted either, he worked his way up over a couple years in B'More. Albeit, none of the guys we have at DT are as big as Kemo, so that's not working in their favor, but hopefully they'll be stout and bring some other things to the table...

[Soul Rebel]

honestly though, aren't the guys they bring in just camp fodder with some potential, rather than players that the staff sees as week 1 starters? not to say the cj jackson's or george hypolite's might not be players someday, but an udfa shouldn't be expected to start. we will probably pluck someone off waivers b/c inevitably some decent talent becomes a camp casualty when rosters get trimmed, and that's where i think we will pounce. i'm sure a veteran dt will be lining up next to lewis when philly comes to town.

Hypolite is my new darkhorse that I'm riding all the way to the end of camp. I called him first. Go Jorge!!

did you see him sack stafford than force a fumble.after which he kept going and jumped on the ball.....good motor.

It's worth noting that Brayton did next to nothing in Oakland, but was a serviceable starter who continued to improve last season.

Hypolite has got to be the coolest player name I've ever heard. Sounds like hyperlite, a wakeboard company.

[SMACKDAB]

Sounds like Hippo-Lite to me.

Never seen a "lite" Hippopotamus.

not trying to start a nickname thing, but "Little Hippo"
