    Time to start reviewing other team's practice squads and recent free agents.

    I'd love to have Mister Alexander back. Also wouldn't mind if Brooks Reed moved inside.

    Will always remember him stopping ray rice on 4th and goal divisional playoffs.

    Dobbins wasn't long for the team, he may or may not have rubbed a few coaches wrong missing OTAs to work on his house but more then anything, he was hurt recently and for a portion of training camp.

    Despite what guys say, injuries can and will cost you your job, hence why we signed Mays.

    But on our ILB situation, maybe we can resign that local kid that was working at the car rental spot, because Sharpton and Mays are starting which means one of them is going to get hurt real soon and lets be honest Sharpton ain't even that good.

    I'd rather have Dobbins than Sharpton. Sharpton is totally worthless. When he actually plays, he does everything he can to avoid contact. Seriously, next time he's in the game, watch him. He's never anywhere NEAR the football and is constantly being pushed (not even blocked, just pushed) out of the play.

    Sharpton sucks.

    Interesting? Really? I mean, do you read the GARM?

    But what can I say, I love this place. :)

    It's not really that he avoid contact, but the man bites on play fakes like a dog chasing a bone and he really doesn't have the strength or athleticism to go against offensive linemen, tight ends, bigger WRs or RBs. The times he does really go all out he can at least hit but usually within 2-3 weeks of when he flips that switch he is heading for IR.

    He is the main reason I really wanted to draft a ILB this year and why I had hoped Tuggle worked out at ILB. I can only hope Mohamed can pick up enough of the scheme to beat him because Sharpton taking Cushing's spot... that not a confidence builder.

    I don't believe this team has the scouting network to poach the best talent out of other teams that aren't associated with the Shanahan coaching tree. But it will be refreshing to hear new names instead of waiting on same old Sharptons, Dobbins and Jamisons.

    Go pick Ozzie Newsome's practice squad. Probably the best talent evalutor in the NFL right now and they also play 3-4.

    Heh, I love this place too. I just meant the opinion was so different.

    Also it looks like the Texans are scouraging PS and FA right now, so it made sense to get rid of these guys at the bye week. They are also trying out QBs which is interesting enough.
