N.F.L. Combine News/Rumor Mill, Directly From our Sources in Indy [Part II]:

The Pittsburgh Steelers, who need help on the offensive line, really like several prospects. The Steelers were impressed with U.S.C. guard Chilo Rachal, who never wanted to leave U.S.C. but had to because his parents suffer from Diabetes and need medical coverage. Pitt loves his character and work ethic.

Also, Western Michigan guard/tackle James Blair is getting a lot of attention from Pittsburgh. He's a bowling ball right tackle that projects as a guard. The reason they like him is his brute strength, especially against the best monster defensive tackles.

In addition, potential small school gem Heath Benedict looks fit -- he's completely recovered from a 2005 knee injury. This is another player getting a ton of attention from the Steelers. Heath thinks Pittsburgh wants him to play Alan Faneca's spot and not tackle because he is the draft's best trap blocker and they believe he will make the ideal replacement for Faneca.

Meanwhile, U.S.C. lineman Drew Radovich has a hip injury that has healed but likely will cause him issues in his thirties....B.G.S.U. center Corey Lictensteiger's Labrum problem is no longer an issue, as most feel he is over it. Same thing with Pitt Panthers' guard/offensive tackle Mike McGlynn.

Boston College cornerback DeJuan Tribble's left knee meniscus is worrisome to some teams. He has a degenerative Meniscus and it could cause issues down the line. Most think he is best suited to a zone predominant scheme.

Indiana cornerback Tracey Porter had many thinking of Adrian Petersen last year with all the attention that was given to his left clavicle. He broke it in 2004 and after he broke it he got the knack of shying away from tackling. But the clavical looks solid and this should not be a huge problem in the immediate future.

N.F.L. teams really spent a lot time with U.S.C. cornerback Terrell Thomas, due to past knee and shoulder problems. The findings are sure to effect his board slot, but he remains a physical specimen with a chiseled body.

No one has worked harder to come back from injuries than Nebraska cornerback Zack Bowman and he's got a great attitude and work ethic, but many in Indy feel his injuries will rob him of short area quickness and lateral movement, meaning he is likely going to have to stick as a special teams player or make a shift to safety.

Linebacker Curtis Lofton of Oklahoma reminds many of Demeco Ryans because he is explosive, but his move to middle linebacker might worry some boards due to some neck issues...Virginia Tech linebacker Xavier Adibi is being looked at closely by nerve specialists for a history of left shoulder stingers, but most feel it is a non issue. Still, his M.R.I.s will be looked at closely.

U.S.C. running back Chauncey Washington's history of multiple leg injuries and a brief bout with a temporary paralysis at the age nine will make him a popular player for poking, prodding and examining as the draft process moves forward.

The Seattle Seahawks seem to be paying a lot attention to lightning-fast East Carolina tailback Chris Johnson. This has led some to believe that Shaun Alexander's days in the Pacific Northwest could be numbered.

Look for New Mexico Lobos' guard Devin Clark to lift many reps of 225 pounds. He has short arms and the pedigree of brute strength behind him as a former national weightlifting champ....Ultra-productive Boston College safety Jamie Silva was talking at lengths with the Patriots, Steelers and Seahawks. Mamouth Texas A&M defensive tackle Red Bryant has been popular. Many teams have sought him out. The New York Jets, Jacksonville, Dallas, Washington, Tennessee and Cleveland were all quite interested in him. One venerable A.F.C. scout, who knows Texas college football better than anyone in football, says Red is the best run stuffing defensive tackle since Casey Hampton. He actually might be bigger, stronger and faster than Hampton, according to the respected scout. Pretty intense words for this draftee.

Finally, the New York Jets were ecstatic when they heard the Dallas Cowboys tagged safety Ken Hamlin and not Flozell Adams, as they are clearly interested in the veteran free agent lineman.

That would be a good sign... move Dbrick...

[gangreenman]

That would be a good sign... move Dbrick...

Not so fast buddy.

First of all, we wouldnt be able to get much for Dbrick. 2nd of all, Adams is only one person. We still need another OT besides him if we were to move Brick.

Unless of course you meant move Dbrick to the other side of the line, and not 'move' him to a different team.

I think that is what he meant which I also think would be a bad idea.It's risky assuming a player can make the transition from left to right.

[will]

I like the paragraph above the one about Adams. The one where it says the Jets have shown some interest in Red Bryant. Thats good thinking.

I meant move him to RT... We have to get creative... hes not good at protecting either Qb's blind side.. At least we know Adams can and has..

I agree, Bryant could be a sleeper to move up the boards fast.

I'm going out on a limb here (snicker) and say that this looks like another Parcells pre-Miami suggestion. Can't anybody here make their own decisions?

[madmike1]

SIGN HIM.

[aec4]

Not so fast buddy.

First of all, we wouldnt be able to get much for Dbrick. 2nd of all, Adams is only one person. We still need another OT besides him if we were to move Brick.

Unless of course you meant move Dbrick to the other side of the line, and not 'move' him to a different team.

He meant move to RT...

[madmike1]

He meant move to RT...

You move ADAMS to RT, not D'Bust.

[gangreenman]

He meant move to RT...

Oh god, this is going to be another one of those "How do the Pats have such an early pick" threads, isnt it?

[Irish Jet]

You move ADAMS to RT, not D'Bust.

Again, that's a risky move unless you know he can make the adjustment smoothly.

[madmike1]

Again, that's a risky move unless you know he can make the adjustment smoothly.

It's not risky. He'd be fine.

[bobbyjet69]

He meany move him to RT!

[Ghost]

Sign his ass!!!!

[Irish Jet]

It's not risky. He'd be fine.

If I was sure of this I'd be all for signing him. Unfortunately I'm not, he's been a LT throughout his long career, I think it may be a tough adjustment.

[Sperm Edwards]

If I was sure of this I'd be all for signing him. Unfortunately I'm not, he's been a LT throughout his long career, I think it may be a tough adjustment.

If near-bust Leonard Davis can change from LT to RG, and a decent-but-not-great Jason Fabini can move from his natural RT to LT, then I'm sure a stud like Adams can move from LT to RT.

[Irish Jet]

Maybe but different players will react differently in these scenarios, some are more versatile than others.

He may make a great RT, I'm just not convinced it's a great idea.

[Sperm Edwards]

If we only needed one replacement on the line, at RT, then I would be against it with a seemingly-solid OT draft coming up. But we truly need upgrades at 3 positions, and two of them I'd consider emergencies. Another year of two rookies on the OL? No thanks.

He can play anywhere on the line he wants as far as I'm concerned. Brick hasn't solidified the LT position anywhere enough to not consider moving him to guard anyway if The Hotel is so obviously so much better.

[#27TheDominator]

Bit and somebody else posted that Adams is deaf in his left ear and for that reason he has to play LT. OTOH, there are several sites that claim it is his right ear and that is why he supposedly has so many false starts. I tend to think that it's his right ear that is deaf. Either way, he can play both sides. Flozell Adams played RT his entire career at Michigan St. (supposedly because of the ear) and saw time at RG as a rookie before being moved to LT.

If that is the case than all the more reason to move him to RT. He is a road grader that you look for on that side anyway.

[BroadwayJoe12]

There is no way that Dbrick will be moved to the right side, he is a finesse blocker and his skills are best utilized at LT. He is very young and you aren't going to stunt his growth by placing him in a new scenario where you would rather have a bigger guy, much like Adams.

Adams is one of the better LTs in the league and will be looking for that type of money, I just don't like the idea of spending top LT money on a 30 year old RT. But, we could do much worse.

Personally I like D'Brick a lot. I think he's solid on the left side and really had some good games this year after a rough start. I'm happy with him at LT and there's no way we should move him IMO.

BINGO! Move DBrick to RT..Bottom Line

I'm more concerned with protecting the QB and being able to run left against good defenses than sacrificing the greater good for the development of one D'Brickashaw Ferguson.

[gangreenman]

Well if that's the case we sign him...NOW!!

Please dont.

Look at the mess the pats are in for breaking the rules... I know its tempting, but can we please wait till next Friday?

[Irish Jet]

I'm more concerned with protecting the QB and being able to run left against good defenses than sacrificing the greater good for the development of one D'Brickashaw Ferguson.

Protecting the QB?? Even if it's Chad??

Nah I think D'Brick will be fine, I fully expect him to have a great year next season. he was solid this year while having a turnstile next to him. If we got an Alan Faneca type player next to him I think he could have an all pro style year.

[Irish Jet]

That wasn't my point. Clearly the best situation would be keeping him at LT. But if he was so clearly, so obviously, so distantly second-best at such an important position? Well then Mr. Ferguson it's time to take a crash course in right guard 101.

Hey - I'd love to have a situation where the big dilemma is whether or not our top-4 draft pick left tackle is demoted not because of atrocious play but because we have someone even better. Sign Adams because I am desirous to have such a dilemma. Particularly on the offensive line.

[jetophile]

Wait, let's back this up. Flozelle? Flozelle?! Was this guy's Mom out of her mind when she was in labor or something? Me, I would WELCOME being a boy named Sue, thanks. As you were.
