Ziggy was designed to play dline the way Butler does it....may be worth a look

This. He will come cheap and he's exactly the kind of depth we need. Knows the system, cheap and he should be steady.

Actually, he was designed to play dline the way the jaguars do lol

Hes terrible, hated the pick from day one (had some classic rants about it, actually), but there is no one behind Heyward and Tuitt so who knows. Im not sure who looks dumber in 96, evander hood or cam thomas

If they want him, they better inquire before Arizona does!

Seriously though, why would we bring him in? If they want a veteran they're familiar with, why not just bring back Keisel another year. He's willing (so I've read), and bottom line: he's still a better player.

I think he just didn't fit Lebeau defense but now with the way Butler pay his DL it might be a good fit for depth.

I just dont get how this can be...everyone always said (for good reason) he is a traditional under tackle on the inside of a 43 defense...he went to one, with one hell of a defensive coach, and he still blew.

You nailed it. Last year he played in a system where he had the best chance to succeed. And he was still not good.

If Tuitt misses significant time, I guess I kind of understand Ziggy Hood being brought in for depth, or at least to kick the tires. But given what we've seen from Cockrell, I'd lean towards seeing Caushaud Lyons activated from the PS and given a chance to play.
