    We didn't need to franchise him, he is overpaid and overrated but what we did need to do is have a plan B ready, that didn't involve starting a rookie corner.

    It's part of the Kubiak Template, if you will, of canned responses. Some other examples are:

    "Well, we didn't come ready to play this week and that's my fault."

    "We're just going to have to work through it and continue to improve with the guys we've got."

    i don't care how overpaid he is. it's a huge season for a team with expectations in AN UNCAPPED YEAR!!!

    now if you're telling me he isn't good..that's one thing. it's something i'd disagree with, frankly.

    but you didn't save $10 million by not bringing back Dunta...because you still had to pay first round money to his replacement.

    We don't care but EVERYONE already knew Bob/Rick/Gary cared. I would have been fine franchising him but I won't kill them for not doing it. 10 million for a slightly above average corner is TO MUCH.

    I will kill them for not having an alternate option ready to roll them minute he was let go. Bodden was given a look but it should have gone deeper then that. Drafting a corner was fine but bringing in another veteran some why some how should have been the move.

    Kawika Mitchell, come on down!

    I was actually scanning practice squad rosters this morning, to see if there was anyone we could poach. The only name I recognized was Graham Harrell of Texas Tech fame.

    Honestly, I dont think there has ever been a team with these terrible numbers period. We are going to make history!
