Before we anoint this guy the second coming of rigg's or riggo or any other power back we have had let's be realistic here, he's signed to the practice squad because he couldn't make a roster anywhere else in the NFL, not even as a backup, this sound's more like addition by subtraction, I wouldn't consider 225lbs. a power back these day's.

[QUOTE=joethiesmanfan]Diedrick looks like a big back maybe he will be used as a big back like gerald Riggs or something. we need one to finish out our compliment of backs..[/QUOTE]

LOL - or maybe we can use him as a body at practice. I hear the blocking bag has been missing to many assigments and Diedrick was signed cause he fits into the blue padding.

He is a practice player who impressed someone and may get a shot next year. I don't think Portis need look over his shoulder just yet.

Diedrick was on Green Bays practice squad for the past two years.

Welcome to the board firstdown!

maybe he's our spy from GB... or maybe not... gibbs & co. probably felt it was an upgrade and didn't like mcollough's attitude... at least we don't have to here about mcollough's superbowl mvp ability anymore, and i welcome that ;)

[QUOTE=smootsmack]Here's a little something I found on Diedrick. Apparently he's [URL=http://www.cfl.ca/CFLHistoryDraft02/Diedrick.html]outstanding![/URL][/QUOTE]

Thanks for the info Smootsmack
Canadian, eh? ......... criminal justice.....should know how to handle the Cowboys :silly: .......

In Gibbs and staff I trust.......gotta find those "Redskin kinda guys"..... :httr:

mcollough will be an impact player some where within the next couple years. he would never have gotten the chance here. He is probably happy as hell.

since no one's bothered to sign him, i seriously doubt that.

This is obviously a failure on the part of the FO. They must have known that they were about to throw Sultan overboard so I can't understand why they didn't trade him before the deadline to Miami who needs a running back in the worst way. I figure they could have gotten at least three first round picks for Sultan based on his fantastic skills and potential. ;)

Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe if another team want's to sign someone off your practice squad to put him on an active roster they can, the only way you can prevent it, is to put them on your own active roster.

thats right offiss, apparently EVERYONE has missed his star potential...

The Pro Bowl is right around the corner for McCullough!

As long as he buys a ticket that is.
