Dane Fletecher...the streak continues

[Box_O_Rocks]

Can Fletcher play OLB at this level?

I expect he will take practice and scout team reps at OLB, it's possible he could be competitive there once his conditioning and technique are developed.

McCain fell under a special provision relating to employees of the American Government in the Panama Canal Zone. But if Love's parents were stationed in Korea with the military, that could qualify him for the fallback career path of the White House.

McCains father was also an Officer inthe military stationed in Panama. When you are a member of the military or a government official stationed overseas and have a child, the child is automatically a citizen of the US. It really isn't a concept that is hard to understand.

This guy also says hello:

I'm extremely intrigued to see whether or not we see some Love at NT with Wilfork out at DE at times this year. Glad my boy Deaderick made the team and I'm all but praying for him to grow up fast. Would have loved to keep Aiken for his special teams expertise (at the "expense" of losing Slater), but it is what it is. Laughing at Dane Fletcher. The longest of long shots makes the team good for him.

This guy also says hello:

I thought he held up pretty well out there. Good to see hard work pay-off for these guys.

 

[5 Rings for Brady!!]

Never really doubted he would make the team. He is just more talented than guys like Guyton. Nice that it is official and hope he develops into a poor man's Urlacher.

I liked both these guys...and I do think they have a good shot at making it. I thought Fletcher was a DE in college and like most thought MORE OB..but?? We shall see. If he can play some tough STs..that will be just fine.

His father was a Colonel in the military. He is a US citizen. Did you not read that far?

Looks like CBSSports needs a geography lesson....

Hopefully he is better than the last Love guy we drafted ... he sucked real bad.

Who the heck is Dane Fletcher? I somehow missed any mention of him so far this year.
