sois Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 I guessed on him earlier. I remember him from the draft, I thought he was cool, and I normally hate dudes with hyphen names. I would be happy with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean-Gilles, listed at 358 pounds, started 25 of the 38 games he played in the last three years in Philadelphia.

texbengal Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 Another fat f*ck. Has got some explosion when his weight is under control, which has been an issue for him. Strictly a G, mauler type, but can move the pile. Really never did a lot in Philly, although he did start some games. Not sure he would be an automatic starter, but he'd be good depth as long as he did push-ups... away from the dining table, on a regular basis.

sparky151 Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 Alexander must be telling the front office to get him some mastadons. Jean-Gilles is similar to Lutui. Neither were like Gallery. If we're thinking of Jean-Gilles for left guard, I'd rather get Waters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big_dish Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 Can we at least get someone before everyone is gone? Right now, we basically play a turnstile at LG. Damn near anyone is better than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever they bring in is likely taking a roster spot from Livings (330) and Hudson (320). Luitui showed up at 381, Jean-Gilles is listed at 358.

They didn't see him until he walked in for the physical and the scales screamed, grew legs, and got the hell out of Dodge... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Right, he's pretty good... Although I think he started less because he won the job and more because of injuries. But still, he did start a fair amount. I'd just be wary of his weight issues. Plus, he had lap band surgery last year... May be no need for concern, but I'd be a bit nervous about an OL who had that, since football is such a violent position, in a violent game. But I guess he played with it last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
