You need more reasons than he just flat out sucks...?

I'd rather not, I've seen enough of the player he already is. He can talk, he just can't walk!

Everyone flat out sucks when they begin.

Carlos Rogers sucked two years ago. Now, he's on the verge of becoming a top CB.

carlos rogers is still soft in my opinion. average at best

GoSkins! · 08-30-2008, 05:57 PM

I thought that most of the draft picks would make the team, but all 10 made it. Cudos to Vinny Cerrato! Thats 20% of the active roster. Pretty unbelievable IMO.

I liked McMullen. Thrash should've been cut.

We have time to develop Tryon.

I don't know about soft, he was ALWAYS strong vs. the run. I don't know what your definition of soft is, but to me at least, any CB that will come up and hit in the running game isn't soft. His hands, of course, are anything but soft.

Carlos was very bad at coverage his first two seasons, but he showed good signs last year, and had a much better preseason then anyone thought he was capable of given his injury.

I think we might pick up a LB..we need another WR to fill in until Kelly comes back. I am happy Hamilton made the team.

GTripp0012 · 08-30-2008, 06:02 PM

Yeah, one thing I agree with is that by Week 2, this team is going to add some veteran help, probably at WR. I can't think of any other reason why they would cut Mason, but only keep 5 WRs.

dmvskinzfan08 · 08-30-2008, 06:04 PM

I think some of these suprise cuts happened because they kept more D-Lineman than expected. Rob Jackson and Erasmus James and we kept Evans and Wilson. Why did we keep Tryon???????????????!!!!!??? (Did they not see the games he played in and how he was scored on a picked on constantly)

yeaa ill take a wait an see approach on em this year. my definition of soft is leaving a 10-15 yard cushion on 3rd and 2. I HATE THAT

dall-assblows · 08-30-2008, 06:08 PM

That's coaching...

wilsowilso · 08-30-2008, 06:13 PM

We really need to discuss the WR situation. I am thrilled if they think Kelly and Thomas are going to step up as the #4 and #5, but that means at least one of them will play alot and with one injury both of them will play and that basically goes against all the evidence from the preseason. Do they know something we don't? I'm confused? Should we be encouraged?

That's pretty soft.

Though if Grilliams had a problem with it, all he had to do is tell Rogers to move up. Grilliams seemed to want to bait the opponent to throw on 3rd and short, figuring he would make them play pitch and catch to get the first down as opposed to grinding it out.

Still pretty soft, I agree.
