    About 30min ago, Lewan tweeted out that he wasn't retiring.

    Granted, I don't know the context, but he just rubs me the wrong way.

    I said it then and now...Dude's injuries are a big concern. Played 5 games last year...braces on his knees already...etc. the off field stuff was the icing on the cake. That and he fact that he is a terrible run blocker, when we knew we were going heavy run. Conk it is baby!!!! Btw, Conklins combine wasn't that far off from him. Conk is more athletic than he gets credit for. Dude can stone move at his size.

    Personally IMO all linemen need to be wearing braces as a precaution. Those big boys just cant bend the same way the smaller guys can, so when you get rolled up on its over.

    Agreed, taking a guy with injury concerns at 1 would be nuts. See Clowny. But when we traded up and Tunsil was there, I'd have been tempted. But I'm cool with Conklin, fits the scheme and has no issues.

    I agree 100% but my father was a long time pot smoker after his military service he returned from vietnam in the 70s and started smoking pot. He was offered a lucrative job that drug tested. He completely stopped smoking pot. I have little sympathy, but I do agree it shouldnt be on the banned list anyway.

    Hopefully that wont be the case. I dont know if he will ever be a pro-bowler but I think he will have a career in the NFL.
