 transition. He can play on both sides of the ball. We're excited to see him go. He's a big pounding fullback at 280, 80+. And you know, he's made a transition quickly. He showed it right off the bat though. It wasn't like he had to...it took him a long time. He made good statements early on so we were excited about him throughout. And he didn't do much of it in college. You know, I asked Coach Pete (Chris Petersen) about that. He hadn't done a lot, but he'd done some, and it just made sense to him.

You brought in a couple of outside guys in Garrison Smith and Dewey McDonald. What did you see from them?

Both those guys just looked like they had a chance to help us. You know, we found a couple of guys. We were just trying to get a little bit better. We thought those guys would be better on the roster than other guys that we let go. And it was really just the competition of it and through the film and watching them. And it was just our evaluation process. Hopefully they'll help us.

Is Dewey going to help on special teams?

Yeah. He looks like a guy that can help us immediately on special teams. May be able to help us with DeShawn Shead who plays so much on teams and in the same kind of role. Because DeShawn's going to play a lot of snaps for us otherwise. So I'm hoping that he'll fit in nicely.

Is he a possibility to do the sort of stuff that you had in mind with Brandon Browner?

No. We're going to play him at linebacker. We're going to put him at the weak side linebacker spot and see how that looks. He can certainly play safety for us. He's already done it in a very similar system that we already can recognize. So I told him that I know you can play safety. I want to see what you can do here to add to the competition at this spot.

Who are some of the guys on the roster that maybe can do some of those things you had envisioned for Browner matching up with tight ends and things like that?

Well we're fortunate in that DeShawn Shead can do a little bit of everything. And so he's played safety, and he's played corner, he's played nickel. So DeShawn gives us that guy
transition. He can play on both sides of the ball. We're activated to examine him go. He's a big pounding fullback at 280, 80 +. And you sleep together, he's made a transition cursorily. He show it right off the squash racket though. It wasn't like he had to... it took him a farseeing time. He made dependable statement early on so we were excited about him throughout. And he didn't do much of it in college. You acknowledge, I asked Coach Pete (Chris Petersen) about that. He hadn't done a lot, but he'd do some, and it just made sense to him. 

 You brought in a couple of external guys in Garrison Smith and Dewey McDonald. What did you see from them? 

 Both those guys just looked like they give birth a chance to help us. You know, we found a couple of guys. We were barely trying to get a little bit better. We thought those guys would be better on the roster than other guy that we let go. And it was very barely the competition of it and through the film and watching them. And it was barely our evaluation process. Hopefully they'll help us. 

 Is Dewey going to help on extra teams? 

 Yeah. He looks like a guy that can help us immediately on special team. May be able to help us with DeShawn Shead who plays so much on team and in the same kind of function. Because DeShawn's going to play a lot of snaps for us otherwise. therefore I'm hoping that he'll fit in nicely. 

 Is he a possibility to do the kind of stuff that you have in mind with Brandon Browner? 

 No. We're going to dally him at linebacker. We're going to put him at the weak side linebacker spot and attend how that looks. He can surely play safety for us. He's already do it in a very similar system that we already can greet. So I distinguish him that I know you can play safety. I want to see what you can do here to add to the competition at this spot.
