In Gus I Trust

Did I miss it, or has there been no mention of Ryan Clark or LaVar yet?

This thread is depressing and probably could blow way out of proportion.

70Chip · 07-03-2007, 06:30 PM

Is there anyone left who thinks we should have kept Lavar?

Side note: Earnest Byner hurt his back with 998 yards on the third season.

Correct you are.

One thing that really made an impression on me during Gibbs first tour of duty was how players we got rid of disappeared off the radar afterwards.

Obviously, from all the names mentioned above it has been very different since.

One name that hasn't been mentioned is Mark Schlereth who, if I'm not mistaken was replaced by some old bum from that Texas franchise that I'd rather not mention by name.

Well, first and foremost. How are you doing over there? I don't know how close you are to everything that happened this weekend but you ok?

Secondly, a big reason that names don't fall off the radar is that sites like this exist now (whereas they didn't 20 some years ago) to constantly remind everyone of players we let go. Of course, a lot of these guys aren't any better since they left (Ramsey and Arrington to name the two most obvious), and we didn't mention guys like Rod Gardner, Derrius Thompson, Darnerien McCants, Rashad Baumann, Antonio Brown (damn, most of these guys are receivers, aren't they?), and others

"Well, first and foremost. How are you doing over there? I don't know how close you are to everything that happened this weekend but you ok?"

I'm fine thanks and thank you for asking. I'm a long way from both London and Glasgow. I'm not sure how things have been reported over there but to be honest I didn't know anything had happened until yesterday. I avoid the news as much as I can.

Things are very different nowadays of course regarding teams ability to hold on to players but I can't think of a single player we let go who had any success anywhere back in the good old days.

Can anybody?

It's Billy Joel Night at The Warpath.
