2nd choice: James Thrash
3rd choice: Rabach but only if we draft Mack/Unger or get a quality guy in FA.

Why wouldn't you just cut Betts and get a change of pace back behind Portis?

Randle-El...he is not what he was billed to be...way too much for what is gotten in return

ARL is the epitome of the upside-down contract bro... he isn't going anywhere for a long while.

The main problem is the O-line and passing game. We can argue back and fourth over Betts and Portis, but until we get a passing game and an O-line that can block we will still be a one dimensional offense. So you could have Sproles back there and with defenses playing 9 in the box he isn't gonna get any further then Betts or Portis would have.

That's it in a nutshell.

Byron Westbrook. He's taking up space that can be used for someone else of much better quality.

Now who else can mimmick Brian Westbrook better on the scout team O before we play Philly than Byron? What would we do without him?

In all seriousness he was on the practice squad and really wasn't affecting our active roster all too much. Maybe I'm biased because I played with and against his older brother at DeMatha, but I still like him.

He's on the roster now. I'd rather have a LB of equal or higher quality in his spot going into camp.

so all things considered, if you got to choose one player to erase from the roster who would he be?

Any player that would create cap room w/o bringing down team performance.
I would need to know the cap figures to make a suggestion.

Check Schneed's/CC's cap sheet bro...

Wynn, Thrash, Betts, in that order. Betts is the only one worth a darn and he makes the most money so if we needed cap room he is the choice. If we need to free a roster spot..Wynn and Thrash are next hopefully.

I'm in agreement for Rabach too.

Please no one give me hell.

That's just absurd (Joking voice, but not really joking). Who would we put there? Jansen? That went well last offseason (sarcasm). Of course my idea is just as crazy (honest admission). The difference is that the defense wasn't broke, but the offense needs some work. I do not think that there would be too much drop off between Fletch and Blades with the addition of AH. Replacing or getting rid of a serviceable olineman on the other hand would be counterproductive IMO, especially since we really don't have many options to replace him with.

Sorry for...you know.

theJBexperience · 03-22-2009, 05:38 PM

Yeah, I gotta go Rabach too. He frees up a good amount of cap space without costing too much. We most likely could upgrade through the draft. He seems to have slowed down, and I just don't think he creates enough of a push up the middle.
