Evening Lincs
- Correll Buckhalter torches herbage regularly. At least that's what Styles Beckles, his alleged dealer says (that's a great drug-dealer name by the way). Buckhalter refutes the testimony, but this isn't Buck's first weed rodeo. Remember he was suspended in 2001 for suspicion of blowing joints with then Eagle CB Terrence Carroll on South Street. Buck probably uses the pot for it's anti-inflammatory benefits.
- The Birds have a scheduled April 5th workout with Maryland cornerback Kevin Barnes. It seems the Birds have been very interested in the cornerback position leading up to April's draft. I guess Sheldon Brown isn't getting any younger - he turned 30 today. Happy birthday Sheldon, you're now as old as my rickety ass.
- There is a rumor about town (I can't find a link) that the Birds are kicking the tires on Anthony Becht, who was released by the powerhouse that is the Rams organization. G. Cobb thinks his blocking ability would be an asset for the squad. Becht is a Drexel Hill native who attended Monsignor Bonner High School. He had 39 receiving yards last year. Impact player alert!
- Steve Wyche of NFL.com profiles some small school no-namers who could go in next month's draft. I heard Tom Heckert just printed out the article, grabbed a handful of tissues, and locked the door to his office (the Birds already have a private workout scheduled with Jason Williams). One of the prospects on Wyche's list is Wesley College's Larry Beavers. And boom goes the dynamite.
Becht is a blocking TE, which means he'll have more impact than Schobel and Smith did last year even if he never catches a pass.
Becht was signed by the Cardinals last night - so much for a rumor.
And Bullet, you're right, anyone would have more impact than Schobel.
Good, he was a Bonner scum bag, I don't want him.
