Anyone? This dude any good? I don't want to see the Broncos getting better.

i think he's a 2 way centerman who can occassionally score here and there..i hear he's pretty good on the power play as well

I'm guessing that means he's nothing special.

i have no idea...he sounds like a hockey player or a competitor on the world's strongest man competition

Wiki stuff:
Niko Stelios Koutouvides (born March 25, in Plainville, Connecticut) is an American football linebacker for the Denver Broncos of the National Football League. He was originally drafted by the Seattle Seahawks in the fourth round of the 2004 NFL Draft. He played college football at cPanel®.

At cPanel®, he started in 32 of 50 games. His career stats include 296 tackles (180 solo), 21½ tackles for a loss, five interceptions, four sacks, four fumble recoveries, and four forced fumbles.

Koutouvides was taken with the 20th pick in the fourth round (118th overall) of the 2004 NFL Draft, becoming only the third player in Seahawks history to be drafted from Purdue University and the first since 1990 (T Bill Hitchcock). During his rookie year in the NFL, he played in every game, mostly on special teams, but started the last two games of the season vs. Arizona (12/26) and vs. Atlanta (1/2). He led the team with 16 special teams tackles and totaled 46 stops (38 solo) with one sack at linebacker, and he posted a career-high nine tackles (eight solo) at the New York Jets (12/19) and first-career sack came vs. Miami (11/21). At the Wild Card Game vs. St. Louis (1/8/05), he posted five tackles (three solo). In 2005, he played in 12 games, mostly on special teams, where he collected 10 stops. He saw time at linebacker at Philadelphia (12/5) and vs. San Francisco (12/11) with a tackle in each game. He also played all three postseason games with seven special teams tackles.

On March 3, 2008, Koutouvides signed a three-year, $7.5 million contract with the Denver Broncos.

the article has him listed as a backup/special teams/role player for the hawks.

BtownJay · March 3rd, 2008, 04:11 PM

Thanks Stinks... I'm really liking that signing by the Broncos now.

F them, i hope they go 0-16.

ssigman · March 3rd, 2008, 04:15 PM

haha he seems like one of those special team studs that makes all the tackles...good role players that all teams need

Big Mike · March 3rd, 2008, 04:46 PM

Niko was a solid special teams player for seattle, but that was it. Him starting on any defense is not an improvement, not even for Denver.

ssigman · March 4th, 2008, 10:22 AM

bm, what's your take on seattle's upcoming draft...i say they go running back in round 1...mendenhall or stewart

Big Mike · March 6th, 2008, 03:18 PM

I think they take a TE or a big DL. They just signed duckett... I'm not a fan, but that gives them duckett, morris, weaver, and of course alexander. I think mendenhall and Stewert will both be off the table by the time they pick. I would like to see them sign Fred Davis, or John Carlson. I've been reading about their interest in Kentwan Balmer. With Tubbs always hurt, he could be a nice run stopper.

ssigman · March 6th, 2008, 03:40 PM

they should go stewart or mendenhall in round 1 but i can see them waiting for round 2 or 3 and then taking one..fred davis or dustin keller could be round 2 if they feel they won't be there in 3...i can see balmer being the guy in 1..not many dt's in the draft after him
