DJ Hackett has signed and is at practice

If i remember right 2yrs ago we were looking to sign this guy, if he stays healthy and that's a big ? it will be a good pick up.

Definitely. It isn't out of the question that he could beat out Thomas for the #2 or play the slot.

You can't discount his knowledge of the system.

I can't believe what I am hearing and seeing here regarding DJ Hackett. He couldn't stay healthy in Seattle and couldn't stay healthy in Carolina. Knowing the system and JZ is all fine and good but I would have liked to have seen a move to bolster the O line. The Panthers had such little faith in him they cut him and are going with Dwayne Jarrett as there No. 3. So you do the math on that one.

So you'd want them to pick up a cheap offensive lineman just like the ones we already have? Because it's not like Hackett is some major acquisition, he is probably here on the vet min.

Don't think i want DJ to be our #3 i want DT & MK out their playing but he would be a good #5 if he stays healthy. I want all are WR to be #1's make Zorn's decision a difficult one.

Teams make personnel moves all the time. Hackett was a poor fit for Carolina who is not a west coast team. Dwayne Jarrett was a second round pick. I would think they would want him to get a shot at some point.

Kelly, Thomas and R. Williams can't stay healthy either. Who would you rather count on? Marko Mitchell? Hagans? Eloi?

It seems that the coaches do not want to bring another O-lineman in right now. So we have to live with it.

Man, Hackett is a nice signing. He has experience in the west coast offense and Zorn is familiar with him. If he stays healthy and I realize that is a big if, he is a very good #4 or #5 and can even start if needed due to injury. If he cant stay healthy we cut him and move on with one of the young guys. I have no problem at all with this pickup.

If he can stay Healthy he is a great pick up. Thats the key. This guy has a history of injuries. That was my point.

He could be a great signing. If and I stress if he can stay healthy. He has been known for injuries and also what rubs me the wrong way about him...is last season we tried to sign him and he blew us off and signed with the panthers for more money so maybe my perception of him is a little biased.

that's what i don't get on all the get a lineman talk, if we can get a proven starter, then great, but if we are picking up another body, we've got those.
