This could mean we are activating a player from PUP or Schianco on that in-season IR designation

Pryor? ? ? ?

I guess with Tarpinian, Koutovides, and Carpenter, the feeling was that there are enough ST linebackers when Tracy White returns.

I was much more comfortable with Carpenter spelling a starter than White, Koutovides, or Tarpinian, and was happy when he was picked up.

Just an argument on depth though.

Hopefully Pryor is on the way.

I'll always think of the hockey player before this guy when hearing the name "Bobby" Carpenter. Dad should have stuck with Rob Jr.

Thats one guy I'd love to see play. He really does seem to get some good interior pressure from the few snaps I've seen him play over the years. I'm going to pop the cork on one of my champagne bottles if he makes it through the season healthy.

Well maybe he was thinking that NHL teams would be confused too and that just increases his chances of being signed by a "team".

Too bad for him the NHL is currently locked out.

Bobby has taken over the yoyo reigns from Mr. Ventrone.
