I'm sure he will, but probably not tomorrow...

Anyone know how well Luzar blocks?

I wonder what that TE move means...Luzar more of a receiver than a blocker?? Or good at both..seems like good height..so maybe a TALL receiver??

This is GREAT, GREAT news. Seau will help the entire defense play harder.

See ya Monty, good luck on special teams.

Drafted: Jaguars, 2002 - Round 4, pick 20 [118 overall]

PLAYER NOTES LOG:

Jul 19 2005 - TE Chris Luzar and Darius Williams seem set to provide one backup player.

Jun 3 2005 - TE Chris Luzar, signed as a FA from Jacksonville, is 6-7 and 265 and might be the blocking TE the Giants need badly. In fact, he was signed to the Jaguars' roster four years ago by Tom Coughlin, then the head coach in Jacksonville.

Hmm, not a good route runner, blocker or passing threat...so what exactly does he bring to the table? Camp Fodder, IMO.

Shame about Rasby. But we wont miss him.

Seau makes us a legitimate SB contender... assuming Branch shows up and Jackson finds his feet.
