I still say Jamont should have been lining up at LB for Croom*

Or Fullback. Especially since we'll be hurting in that position if Hoskins can't come back 100%.</p>

Jamont might end up like Gates for the Chargers. Seemed crazy then, but not so much now...

Read this about Gates and see if it sounds familiar:

Basketball was his favorite sport so he transferred to Eastern Michigan University to play basketball. He played there part of a season, subsequently played at two junior colleges and eventually landed at Kent State University in northeast Ohio. Gates spent two seasons as a Golden Flashes power forward where he led the team to the MAC championship and an Elite Eight spot in 2002 and to the MAC championship game the following season, during which he averaged 20.6 points per game, 4.1 assists, and 7.7 rebounds per game.

After being told by scouts that he was too much of a "tweener" (6'4") to make the NBA, Gates arranged a workout in front of NFL scouts. As many as 19 teams were believed to have contacted Gates about a try out. Gates chose to work out first for the San Diego Chargers. Recognizing his enormous potential, the Chargers immediately signed him to a contract as an undrafted free agent.</p>

and I've been questioning why he chose basketball since he signed with us. I thought Jamont was a great college basketball player, but there was always something missing.

He's just an athlete in a football player's body, that plays basketball. Maybe he should give baseball a try if he doesn't like getting hit.
