Who? Anyone expecting that from a guy eating nachos the last 4 months is only fooling themselves.

unfortunately, i think this is right. emergency signing. NOT premier pass rusher

Based on his comments today, he sounds like he is not very fired up to be playing.
On the basis of not being football ready, I say he has no impact at all or the pass rush gets worse.

I don't think, at this point, he's much more than a body who knows the system. I hope I'm wrong.

In his PC today, BB said standard procedure was some minor physical drills and sometimes if a player wasn't ready they would make suggestions for future consideration. I also saw somewhere today that they had spoken to Rosie already this year. Perhaps he just needed to do some at-home conditioning. Toss in a Linebacker emergency, and heeeeeeeeeere's ROSIE!

Yep, they saw Rosie back in September if I recall.

You've not noticed the "odd" fool here this season?

the good news is that he went through training camp...........he'll be gassed, 15 plays or so will be a huge success........

People don't spend as much time picking the meat off a meatless carcass, that being said hopefully there is plenty of meat left on the bone.

If he is close to 100% it is clear that our pass rush will be an upgrade, especially if the reports that Adalius is on his way back are true. While Woods appears to have the look of a 3-4 OLB, he didnt exactly play like a stud when he was in. Not to say he was terrible, but nothing more than average. At least with Colvin, there is potential in that he can get 3-4 sacks over the last 4 games. Also, if he plays well, maybe we can sign him for cheap next year and bridge the gap another year and allow us to focus on DB's in the early rounds of the draft

Colvin is a smart guy. I don't know whether to tell if he is kidding us all on his physical conditioning.

I guess we'll know in the few weeks. I've wanted to see him at least get a chance.
