Raji, Brace and B-Rob

Raji signed a deal with the Packers finally and he should be headed into camp soon. He got a bit more than I think a 9th round pick should get (40% more than Keith Rivers did last year) but ultimately he was the highest DT taken in a very long time and that is the position du jour right now.

In other pro news I watched the Patriots-Eagles game last night. Brace saw a fair amount of playing time and to be honest he looked alright but that's about it. I think he was used to being able to overpower everyone where now hes got some beasts to play against. One odd thing was that the Pats played a lot of 4-3 instead of their usual 3-4 which could be because of their weak backup LBs (who were awful in my opinion) Brace played mostly over the center. He was credited with two tackles, the second was a red zone stop, unfortunately he was falling backwards but he still bearhugged the RB and took him down with him. On a bright note... anyone remember that scene in the Two Towers where Aragorn opens to massive doors with one push, there was one play where Ron took the RG in his left hand and the C in his right and made like Aragorn with the O-lineman.

Did not see any signs of B-Rob unfortunately, which was kind of disappointing. News out of camp was that he was doing well. Most of the receivers got a chance last night though and B-Rob wasn't out there.

There's not much new news out of camp, just some pictures of the team stretching and doing drills and that's about it.
