Default Lua will make the roster
I'm calling my shot. Oscar Lua is a fine linebacker. He will find a role and place on this roster.

We need a run stuffer, too. I predict he'll be a regular contributor by season end.

That's bold but it's just what we would need (a young LB to step it up) so here's to hoping you're right...

I too think he will make the roster but I'm sure that he will be a regular contributor by season's end, except on special teams.

I agree that Richardson could well be a surprise also.
Going along with that, I think a surprise cut will be Tory James...well semi surprise I guess.

If Oscar Lua were to somehow BE something, even just by year's end, that would be a BIG development. Hope so.

Default Re: Lua will make the roster
Dragda is a brave man. Consider all the things he has working against him:

(1) He is picking a new linebacker with no track record to do something on this defense.
(2) This linebacker is also a rookie.
(3) This rookie was a 7th round pick.

If he works out as well as TBC I'll consider us fortunate.

Right now would like to think of him as our find of the '07 draft, but it is way too early to tell much of anything except that Junior Seau was his childhood hero.
