speaking of which, i was really pretty disgusted with his selfishness last season... the sack record isnt even that important (since many players didn't get sacks tracked), and reggie was much better at it anyways.

Yes, we are overstocked at TE, but how many FB's do we have? Rock and Sellers. The overload of TE's is bcause Gibbs uses the H-back instead of a Fullback, and most H-back are officially called a TE. Sellers is playing at H-back and Rock will be more of a RB like he was last year. Plus, everone overstocks before TC...

Exactly, SkinsRock. The Skins currently have eight TE/H-backs on the roster, with three of those definitely being slotted in the H-back role: Cooley, Sellers and Kozlowski. Brewer's signing makes up for the release of Kevin Ware, and provides the necessary depth to fill out the 2nd, 3rd and 4th units, as well as special teams, for training camp scrimmages and preseason games.

The Skins are also currently carrying 12 wide receivers (more than twice as many as they'll likely keep) and 11 linebackers (another significant overload). One of the major reasons for this is that players at these positions comprise a large portion of the special teams units, and you always want plenty of depth for special teams-- particularly during the preseason.

That's what I would assume, based on what I've read of him. I haven't seen much of him in action, and he certainly hasn't done anything notable as a receiver. Sounds like he was a pretty good blocker in college. I would think he falls in line behind Rasby, Baxter and Royal at the blocking TE spot.
