Big John Henderson

[SAPHOJUNKIE]

John Henderson, probowl defensive tackle for the Jacksonville Jaguars, was released today.

the giants tried to get him in for a visit, but Pioli beat them to it. His first stop in free agency is Kansas City tomorrow, Tuesday April 27th.

Henderson, who is a massive 6'7" and 345 pounds, will be 31 when camp starts, but he could easily be the stop-gap we need on the defensive line until we can draft and develop a nose tackle.

If he clears his physical and we sign him, then I am saying this offseason is an unequivocal success. Young, intelligent, high-character leaders, and solid, proven vets.

man oh man this would take all of the sting out of not drafting a big ugly to help the run defense. I mean, i would just be pleased as punch.

If we sign him, I want apologies from all of the people who have been bashing Pioli and the draft.

Oh Ye of little faith!

And if we don't sign him? What should those *praising* the draft do?

Continue to praise the draft as one player or one position does not make or break a team. The letter I is not in the word team.

This is Truth.

I'm not gonna praise the draft just yet. I'm from the Show-Me state.

To each their own . I too am origanally from Missouri but I live in Arkansas now. The draft is a solid B as a grade. Just my opinion and if the players in this list:
Thomas Jones
Casey Wiegmann
Ryan Lija
Eric Berry
Dexter McCluster
Javier Arenas
Jon Asomoah
Tony Moeaki
Jerheme Urban
work out as planned I am very optimistic about how the team will play. I am now sure that Pioli knows we need to aquire a NT to stuff the run and he will work on signing one in FA.

I would love to get Henderson. He would play DE here though, but I think Dorsey could make the adjustment to NT. Jackson-Dorsey-Henderson.

That makes our defense 10 times better. Jackson isn't a rookie anymore and this is the third which is usually the break out year for Doresy. Plus Crennel should do wonders for our DL.

Sorry dude, 295 pounds does not a NT make. At least 30 pounds light for that position...

Tell that to the Dallas Pro Bowl NT. But anyways, that would make a better NT than someone whos 6'7. Also Dorsey was 320 just last year.. wont be hard to get back up to that. Dorsey is to short to be a DE, and we aren't running the hybrid again this year.. so he wont be lining up over the LG like he did last year if we do leave him at DE.
