Call it what you want. Fact is I won't be getting my Warpath Mod payment every day that I'm away. I'll have the union take it up with Matty privately

Re: First Cuts: Holmes, E. Williams, Dearth, Davis
 

[quote=Mattyk;726399]I understand the hometown connection and the fact he played at Maryland. Still, he just didn't seem like anything special on the field.[/quote]Think he might have stuck if they had kept him at Center. At Guard, the talent pool with regard to guys who can run/pass/screen block is a lot deeper, because there isn't such a premium on first step quickness and ability to set and adjust protections.

Once he got moved to left guard, he didn't seem to offer more than basic ability at that position to not be overpowered by standard level defensive lineman. And so I'm not shocked that he was displaced by Kory Lichtensteiger.

I am a doctor and I must say you have been exhibiting signs of overworked mod syndrome. That is whats giving you problems.

Didn't work at the voluntaries, now you can't go at the beginning of the season... Typical Diva

Worked out on my own this year, and I'll do the same next year

Re: First Cuts: Holmes, E. Williams, Dearth, Davis
 

Smack will be placed on the Physically Unable To Mod list... better known as the PUM list.

The new Mod CBA allows mods to be placed on this list unlike the NFL, so even though he showed up to Camp and praticed a few times with the team before straining his right index finger, we can keep him on the 6,252 man roster.

I keep on hearing that we got a new mod coming in. Word has it that he works at NFLN. The youth movement continues.

SmootSmack has been cut for salary cap reasons despite the lack of a salary cap.

Williams was picked up by the Bears

Good for him, hope he lands a spot on their final roster

Not true, the Mod CBA was revised in 2008 after the Gmanc711 incident, now the PUM list applies only to left-handed mods.

I still plan on appealing my imminent suspension but expect that I will have to accept it and sit out the Texans, Rams, and Eagles games

Hypothetically, I would say I am tired of SS's coming and going as he pleases. Who doesn't remember the Week 5 fiasco. And now he's going to miss 3 of the first 4 games. Hypothetically, I would say make him sit the season.


But I won't say any of that because I'm afraid of the parrot

Smoot rocks!

Re: First Cuts: Holmes, E. Williams, Dearth, Davis
 

Well thank you for the correction about the Mod CBA.

I hope you have your suspension either recended or at least have the supsension decreased from a 3 game suspension down to a 1, just be honest in your interview with the MOD Commisioner. He may actually tack on an extra game to your suspension if you lie to him.

Week 5 fiasco was a misunderstanding, I had to go use the bathroom, came back 10 minutes later and then Matty tells me I took too long and couldn't update the thread title. I wanted to updated it, but he said no.
