Another questionable O-lineman is available

[workhorse]

Shawn Andrews was released today. Former Pro Bowler with plenty of baggage.

Isn't he the one where the team brought his brother in to play to see if that would help his depression or whatever it is? Pass.

Exactly. But I figured if people were looking at Incognito, then they would likely talk about a former Pro Bowler too. I don't want him, just stating that he is on the market now.

the guy would be a good pickup if his back wasnt ****ed up

Another veteran that, if you can get him on the cheap, he's worth a look. The Eagles invest heavily in their OL, and they almost annually field the type of OL the Colts are trying to field now, so we know Andrews would be a fit...if he can stay healthy and motivated.

We don't need another Tony Ugo.

Wow, where to begin on that one...Ugoh's injuries have been separate areas, not recurring in one spot, Ugoh started more games last season than Andrews has played in the last 2, and the Colts are far more committed to Ugoh than they would ever be to Andrews. It would be utterly retarded to give Andrews anything more than a 1 year, incentive laden deal at this point, and I just don't see a retarded move coming from Polian, call me crazy.

He's probably referring more to the question marks due to mental/mind set issues.

I've never seen a report claiming Ugoh hasn't shown up for something, and I've yet to hear him say he feels like he was forced into football due to his size. From what I understand, Ugoh's problems are work ethic related, whereas Andrews's problems are related to his desire to play the game.

I guess there some small difference. Either one doesn't seem to benefit a team.
