Rob Konrad

Espn insider rumor mill is reporting this on the former Dolphin fullback:

Rob Konrad

Mar. 18 - Rob Konrad, waived by the Dolphins last week, will visit with the Raiders on Friday and has drawn interest from the Bucs, The Miami Herald reports. "We hope to get a new contract resolved in the next couple of days," Konrad's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, told the newspaper.

Any thoughts?? I haven't seem him play much, but, I've heard good things. None of our tight ends are the best blockers so he could be a solid addition. I know that we need defense, but, fullbacks are one of the lower priced positions and it sure would be fun to see him leading Crocket up the gut in short yardage sitiuations. I loved it 2 years ago when everyone knew what was coming on 3rd and 1, but, there wasn't anything they could do about it!!! Also FYI, the Donkeys tried trading for this guy earlier, so maybe we can have the extra bonus of pissing off Shanny at the same time!

-----Here's the scouting report link on this guy if anyone is interested:

How is he compared to Hetherington? Could we run both Heterington and Konrad at FB and move Crockett to 3rd down HB and Goal line specialist. Crockett excels in the red zone.

He's an all rounder- but a run blocker at heart... He paved the way for Ricky's big seasons (behind a tame OL), and Norv obviously knows the guy and feels he can be an asset to the team...

We cannot pay him more than 1mil though- althoughai doubt it'll happen- as we DEFENSE IS THE PRIORITY...

I have a feeling that if we sign Konrad that it will signal the end of crockett. He makes too much money to be just a short yardage runner.

Konrad is a good blocker, has medium hands, but his carrying leaves a lot to be desired. Or at least that is what my take on the guy is. I have watched almost every fin game for 3yrs, B-in-law is a Fin Fag.

Man 6'3 at 255 is a huge fullback. We could always convert hetherington to LB because we need'em. lol JK.

Other teams QB's running from our D

Yeh, just seen we signed him:

Good job. Turner knows him and he'd about the right age. I think he's here on the understanding that if he plays well a longer deal will come his way.

yeah, I'm waiting to see it in ESPN and or NFL.COM. I went to Raiders.com and there is no mention of any transactions. I'm excited though...This is a solid CHEAP pick up. Thanks Norvel!!

I think Rob Konrad will be the fullback and Zack Crockett will be the number 2 Running Back behind Lamont Jordan.
