Danny could just be biased against the guy for not playing teams. Even I don't know that for sure. Sure he hasn't played a snap in the regular season, but he has taken snaps in preseason. He has film out there that suggests that he can be good for something.

Honestly. I think Danny Smith is a little touchy because Rock is his ST captain and he is acting like a bi-otch because he might be leaving. Also who gives a damn what Danny Smith says. He is not a spectacular ST coach. he actually is horrible. He needs ot be cut. All these people saying this crap about Mason not having speed? Huh. I advise you go to Youtube or look at some of the game film. Him not being a change of pace back. I think he has the same skill sets as a younger Portis. May not be a change of pace. But he runs better than Betts and Rock. IF special teams was playing lights out. I would be all for keeping Rock. But if he is the captain of ST. What does that say. CUT!!

OK I am a big man and I can admit when I am wrong about something.

First, Chase Daniel is a better QB than Colt Brennan and if he makes the team it is well deserved.

Second, I was not a huge fan of Malcolm Kelly, but he has progressed nicely this preseason. If he ends up being the number 2, more power to him. I don't care who makes the plays anymore, as long as the plays get made.

Finally, I noticed that Marcus Mason was playing on special teams tonight on KO returns, so maybe I was wrong about him playing teams, but I think that he still makes the team based on running ability.

One final thought, wouldn't it be some shit if Colt gets placed on IR and they had to do it all over again next preseason?

No offense dude, but a lot of your comments come off as just hating on or liking a player wayyy too much. I honestly don't have much of an opinion on Danny Smith, but he is the ST coach and a lot of these 3rd stringers' main contribution to the team will be through special teams play. So I would say his opinion is pretty important.

I honestly feel that Alridge, Mason, and Dorsey are pretty interchangeable when it comes to keeping them or getting rid of them. If we are lucky, we won't see any of them starting, because if any of them are starting (or hell, even Rock) we are in big trouble.

When camp started I thought Marko Mitchell would be a pretty decent reciever and I wondered why he lasted until the 7th round but now I think he's going to eventually become our number 1 (not this year mind you).

Little did I know it would end up the Marko and whoever's throwing me the damn ball show.

When camp started I thought Orakpo would be a reach at Linebacker now I think we need to find more ways to make sure he's on the field though I still feel he needs to be starting at End in 2010.

When camp started I thought Brennan would wipe the floor with Collins and at least create enough doubt to get considered for an outside chance at the starting job. Now I think I've had to much Pineapple.

When camp started I thought JC was all but done but now I think he's going to have a 90+ rating when 2009 is said and done.

When camp started I thought I was gay but now I'm straight. What?

When camp started I thought the O-Line was going to struggle again with pass protection but now I think they're going to be more then fine when it comes to protecting the QB. Funny how that and the JC prediction coincide.

I thought I'd be worried about our pass protection but I'd feel good about our run game. Now, I'm not too sure that we'll be able to run the ball efficiently, at least early in the season.
