We want Jersey Joe!

[JDouble]

He is a high character guy with strong parents and a good upbringing.

i havent watched any videos of him, but hope we take a look.  i think he could be the combo/versatile guy.   that said, how good is his blocking as a fullback?  he was 224 at the combine and nfl.com has him at 225.  can he hold up at that size? 

[Skull and Bones]

Dude.  He's the all time leading rusher in NJ high school history.  Over 7000 yards.

Hamilton? He could have been the next Vick if given the chance.

We tried to sign him , and he rejected us because he wanted to stay near Jersey . Well  , now I say let him rot in Jersey.

Well that is why 12 year olds aren't GMs in the NFL.

He is a hometown hero in highschool and college, he grew up a Giants fan, and he gets a chance to stay home, be near his family, and play for his favorite team. Gee....wonder why he went for that?

[BucD]

Dunno if go with him over Lorig and Hughes so close to the season.  What time/play time would he have to show/prove that he can be what we need.  To show and prove that he's a better option than Lorig or Hughes.

Unless they claim him and cut him when the next roster cuts are due (Friday I think) and then try and sneak him onto the PS?

[JDouble]

BucD....I'm thinking PS until he gets the offense down. Doubtful he could come in and after one week be ready to play on the active roster. However, he's a solid fullback that understands blocking schemes and leverage....and then he has 4.5 speed, is a natural pass catcher, and runs hard. Throw in the fact that he and Schiano have history, and it just seems like too much potential to pass up.

i would think schiano knows all he needs to know about the guy.  if anything he would be backup FB and 4th RB...no need imo to spend time on the PS.

[BucD]

Hey I'm all for it.  I was really hoping we'd get him as an undrafted free agent.  Just trying to think how we'd go about doing it.

I would love to snatch off the waiver wire.

That might be relevant if we were talking about a great player who immediately upgrades our team....we aren't....

I ran track against Joe from the ages of like 8 until 14 when I moved from NJ to North Carolina. The last time I long jumped against him was at USATF Regionals and I got 2nd and he got 1st. He looked like a full grown man and still beat me with an arm cast on haha. He was a year older than me so we would run/jump against eachother every other year when we were in the same age group. Would be pretty cool to have somebody I know on the Bucs. We almost did last year when Jay Ross was trying out for the Bucs.

[GrimmReaper]

hOLY COW! Love the tape on the kid. Has he played this pre-season? Are we gonna try to hide him on the PS?
