I don't think the fact that he's from Cleveland and Ohio State should figure into it.

However, I do like his potential as a young veteran who could start and have success, if given the opportunity.

He's way better than Seneca Wallace, for example.

Pashos is solid. Not a good knee bender as is often the case with tall tackles so speed rushers can give him trouble but he's physical.

I couldn't find the tweet but someone noted on another site that the Bleacher Report just tweeted that Shaun Rogers is close to being dealt to Philly. McNabb or Kolb have to be coming our way in return.

Pashos will be a decent stopgap. I expect us to still drat someone for the position. Excellent run blocker but has trouble with athletic rushers off the edge. Actually think he's a better guard than tackle.

Twitter is probably one of the most reliable if its been a verified account.

Great pickup, now I am getting excited!

I know. It's sad, but true. I hate twitter, but it's the best way to get news.

Used properly, twitter is the best thing that has come via the internet in a long time.

You can find any breaking news about sports on twitter before it reaches any mainstream media.

Not too bad of signings so far for Cleveland...if they're able to get Rob Sims and a QB (McNabb or someone else) things are starting to look up. Still need some more defensive help...so maybe a couple other signings and draftees are where that's going to happen.

If this happens, they can use the majority of their draft picks on defense, like they should.

Fujita will be a good guy for the linebacker rotation. Nice size at 6'5" and 250. Means he can play OLB or ILB.

This is similar to what Mangini did last year. Solid guys, but not world beaters. The only difference is that these guys aren't Jets.

^^^I'm liking the signings so far. Pashos should shore up the right side of the OL and Fujita adds nice depth to our LB core. IMO you can never have to many game ready backers (injuries). Now onto the QB position....??? Hopefully if Rogers is heading to Philly, it's Kolb we get into return.

Kolb has really done nothing more than Quinn so I'd rather go with the proven commodity.

Here's the OBR's take....

Fujita will start for Cleveland imo, I just have a feeling he is going to have a good season after winning the SB.

Two good signings today!
