That's true, but to be fair, he also said that it was a good position to be in to have to cut good players. Apparently they think there is a lot of talent at that position and we can't keep them all. I would think Sherman Smith and Stump Mitchell would have a lot to say about it.

I'm just poking fun. Honestly does anyone even think the Coach's would put anything less then the best player on the field. I get uptight sometimes when people slam Mason or say he "did it against 2nd stringers" but I know out of all the RB's he was let go for a reason. Perhaps the talent level was just so good they had to pick the RB with the least talent or the one not performing several duties. I don't know. What I do know is they kept him and put him on the practice squad for a reason. They had to let someone go in order to bring someone else in at another position. Then we lost him. I'm sure he's gratefull to be able to have a second chance at making the team and I hope he does well. Plus I would like for us to get younger as well as have a RB being developed for the future. One Portis can work with. Although the other two are vetrans they are older then Portis and I can see all three retiring at the same time causing us to have to find a replacement. It would be nice to have that replacement learning already. Maybe even getting a play here or there.

As far as the speedsters....I believe we need atleast one of them. Call it what ever you want but we have not had a RB that could take it to the edge in a long while. Years. We need someone who can do that.
