Preseason Scrubs

[5RINGS]

Brock Forsey cost me $500.00 bucks with a meaningless touchdown at the end of the Humanitarian Bowl vs Iowa St.

Cut his a$$!

Also that Canadian RB Lumsden should be a good ST guy and a back up FB. He isn't an NFL back, but he is a football player.

I would be delighted to hear some inputs on this.

I thought Ron Warner was a good defensive end for rotation purposes.

Another guy who was a training camp mainstay was WR Derrius Thompson. He's one of the rare guys truly came out of nowhere and made a brief splash as a starter -- then got signed up by the Dolphins. Wonder if he's still there?

DT is still in Miami, he hasn't done jack since his "breakout" year with us in 2002. I remember people being a bit bent out of shape that we let him go too. Kinda strange that he just fell off the map, he seemed to be developing quite nicely. His stat line for 2002 was 53 catches, 773 yards and 4 scores.

people love the fodder cause a couple of them are going to look good playing against other teams' crap players... some people can't compare performance vs level of competition well, so those people end up holding way too high of an opinion of these crap players.

farris got on the field last year in real games and proceded to do NOTHING.

I asked Huddle to use some of his super magic secret stats to demonstrate how wrong you are in this assertion.

[TheMalcolmConnection]

Yeah, I would take Thrash over HIM anyway because Thrash is still WAY better on special teams than Farris.

[freddyg12]

hopefully these guys will all have stiff competition from rookie draft picks & fa's. If our 2nd rnder turns out well & 2 of the late rnd guys make the team, I'd be happy.

With the salary cap H@## that we've gotten ourselves into, all of the old-folks home eligible FAs, the inept coaching staff, the even more inept FO, and the lack of NFL Draft picks, we will be lucky if we are able to field a whole team of players.


Oh, my bad. That was 6 years ago!

I'm glad you added that last line, I was about to write up a doosy of a reply for you.


Let's see, scrubs...

I heard Riddick say that Lumpdens was a fast guy and someone to keep an eye on during training camp. Does anyone have stats on Lumpdens?

What difference does it make how high the kicks are when by the time the coverage team gets to the returner, he's at the 15 or 20 yard line as opposed to the endzone or the 5 ?
