That sucks.

I think we just want alot of depth and undrafted guys who can become the future hogs.

RG: Thomas, Rhinehart, Fabini, Brown
RT: Jansen, Heyer, Fabini

I keep on hearing that Wade will be cut for salary cap/production reasons

Per ESPN Insider:
"Crummey also has seen action at center. Crummey has the versatility, athleticism and aggressiveness to develop into a valuable reserve that can provide depth at guard as well as center"

I was thinking the same thing. It would be awsome if it worked out like that. The only thing is that you have one to many lineman. I hope they do so well that Fabini is cut. Then we would have four young guys that would be future starters. I am not delusional, I just hope it works out that way.

I thought I saw that Crummey was signed by the Chargers. I found this blog site that says he was. I wonder if he was released or never realy signed. I read during the combine that he would not be ready to participate until Jun, due to his broken leg. I wonder if he was cut, why. Oh well, I hope he can be another Heyer.

This is awesome, I have a gut feeling that Crummey can be another Heyer. As everyone knows, Crummey was regarded as a top lineman prospect before his injury. I hope he heals up well and becomes a valuable back up (and maybe starter someday?) to our offensive line.

the skins normally keep 10, so he's good on his prediction.

Lorenzo Alexander is probably going to count as one of the ten though.

Samuels
Kendall
Rabach
Thomas
Jansen
Rinehart
Heyer
Alexander
Wade
Fabini

^^^^probably the most likely ten, but I'll bet at least one UDFA can make it. No idea if Kerry Brown or Crummney has the inside track though.

Alexander is listed on the team's website (and NFL.com) as a Defensive Tackle...so maybe he wouldn't be included among the 10 offensive lineman. Also, aren't there rumors that Wade is going to be cut (I saw it in some of the postings)

There are legitimate reasons to think that Wade will get cut:

1) He's not that good
2) It's financially feasible

But he still has to get beaten out by a UDFA. That's a tall task for any rookie.

Someone is bound to do it, however, since I can't pick who, I left Wade on the roster.

Heres a decent artical on Crummey, I didnt know too much about him

Also if need be do you think he could end up on Injured Reserve, similar to the possibilty that Brennan may be thrown on the list.

Yeah I agree. He is more a special downs guy who can play either side. That alone makes him an asset

I thought they normaly keep nine, with Ethan Albright as ten.

This crummey guys sounds like he could be something. He was an all american his jr. year right? Usually all american as an O linemen is a pretty good indication of pro ability, unlike the 'skill' positions where so many of them aren't much as pros.

If it's just a matter of him healing then hopefully the team sticks w/him to give him time to heal. Maybe the chargers thought he wouldn't recover fully, but they also have a more crowded roster than ours.

I loved him as a Terp, it just sucked that he's broken his leg twice in a year. I think if he had been healthy he would have been a high draft pick.
If he heals up and the team decides to keep him we might have found ourselves another steal.
