Why does that name sound so familiar?

[slumdogmillionaire]

No the former Cowboy is Tank Johnson.

[Sam Mills Fan]

You're thinking of Tank Johnson.

I was hoping Tank Tyler is French for Glenn Dorsey but, alas, I was wrong.

[jramsey4]

Oh not bad not bad.

You're not the only one.

Before clicking through to the main forum, all I saw from the other thread was "Panthers trade for Chiefs DT."

Now, putting aside my disappointment, can anyone tell me about this Tank fellow?

[Sam Mills Fan]

He's 6'2, 306 lbs.

[Adrenaline]

nice

So the defensive line suddenly isn't that terrible anymore. Peppers, Lewis/Tyler, Thomas, Johnson/Brayton...not great, but not bad.

i am glad they are trying to get us thick on the line

Tyler is a decent player. Started all 16 games last season at DT For the chiefs, originally from Fayetteville.

well, he's got a lot of starting experience which is good. this is probably a sign that they're gonna cut ties with hyden soon. hollis thomas will probably still start with tank in relief. i like the move (hopefully the draft pick isn't that high though)
