WitP: Libre, Sopoaga, LaBoy, Mouton, Elimimian

As noted by Garret on The Warrior Beat, Daniel Libre has joined the Edmonton Eskimos of the CFL. Joanne Ireland of Canwest News Service profiles Libre.

Libre, a compact muscular prospect with quick feet, had his first workout with the club on Tuesday. To make room on the roster, the Eskimos released import defensive end Michael Williams.

“It’s cold here, being from Hawaii, so there’s some culture shock, but I like it. I had not run like that for a while. That was a lot of reps today. I can’t wait for the pre-season game,” said Libre, who will play Sunday when the Eskimos take on the B.C. Lions in Vancouver.

He had a head-turning season in 2008, was the cover boy for EA Sports NCAA Football 2010, yet one year out of the game had quickly turned into two.

Taylor Price of 49ers.com profiles Isaac Sopoaga.

Isaac Sopoaga is like a kid in a candy store once his size 14 football cleats hit the 49ers practice fields. Spend a short period of time with the 6-foot-2, 330-pound defensive tackle and it’s no secret that he’s one of the team’s most passionate players about the game of football, no matter what day of the year it happens to be.

Sopoaga proved his infatuation once again on Tuesday, as one of the defense’s longest tenured players admitted just how much fun he’s having during offseason practices.

The article also has a quote from Sopoaga's teammate Travis LaBoy.

utside linebacker Travis LaBoy said he likes the way he’s fitting into the 49ers defense thus far. “I feel like the system is a good fit for my abilities,” LaBoy said.

Ryan Mouton worked out with the first team for the Titans when veteran cornerback Tye Hill went down with an injury.

And despite his hamstring injury, Solomon Elimimian continues to make an impression on the BC Lions coaching staff.

Also moving up on the depth chart, at least to designated import status, is fellow rookie Solomon Elimimian, who also is making Buono quickly forget that by releasing Haley his team got nothing out of the offseason trade in which he was acquired from Hamilton for Jerome Dennis.
