Practice squad guy.  It is time to look for other alternatives on the O-line for backups. In baseball you send a guy to the plate. If he continues to strike out you eventually give some other player a chance. This is where we are. Year after year these same backup guys are striking out. You expect different ?

True he was listed there, but I recall he was taking snaps at guard (who wasn't?) for the most part. Harrison didn't miss many snaps and Cleveland moved out to LT a few times once he got here, but I don't remember much more than that. It was the left guard the was the revolving door and right guard for Scherff's occasional duck out where the back ups played the most. I'm hopeful like others that the Jones kid and Tugboat will stick this year, but I think they want some veteran presence on the bench.

Look I have always pulled for the guy, (Hance) but he is just not good at blocking people. PFF is not the end all be all, but Shatley was twice as good as the guy.  We normally keep 10 O-linemen on the 53. He should not be one of them unless we want to get our QB injured. If you like him maybe they can keep him on the practice squad, that way he can continue to make some good money.
