Mr. Scot

No. Remember we mentioned the phrase initial roster. Just because we've got a 53 man list doesn't mean it's going to stay as is.

Grier cut, no trade. Wouldn't be surprised if the first call his agent made was to us.

Eeehhh, maybe.

Haven't seen any additional news, but to be clear the transactions only have to be filed by 4pm, not necessarily announced.

Deadline time... Some transactions that have already been made may not necessarily have been announced yet

Corral's not necessarily the most objective source.

Had a feeling Thielen might have had something to do with this.

That, plus if the local reporters could figure it out, that wouldn't say much for its complexity.

Way too soon to know that but even if it was, it was a low risk one.

Pretty similar to me. I was never a big fan of hiring a college coach but I did what I could to be positive. My first real "uh oh" moment was when Tepper and Marty were telling the story about his interview. Couldn't help but think it sounded like a couple of senior citizens describing how smart the young man who sold them their new insurance policy sounded. When the info about him having total control hit, that was another "grin and stay positive" moment, but the unease was still there. Of course, the start of season two made it look like it was actually going to work though. Everybody was excited, until we hit mid-season and realized it all just been an illusion. The Rhule era (If a three year period can be called that) was a heck of a rollercoaster.

Didn't see that coming... Payton would know him, of course.

No word on his brother Frank

Wonder what the comparison would be between Drummond and Derek Wright

I think so system-wise, but if I recall correctly he's struggled with injuries.

Agree on Howell. I know McAdoo preferred Corral. That one could come back to bite us. I have no hostility toward Rivera. Though like many, I have higher regard for Ron the Man than I do Ron the Coach. There are a lot of skill sets involved in coaching, some more important than others depending on what position you hold. For a head coach, talent evaluation is kind of an important one. There were certainly things To was good at, but that just wasn't one of them.

Talking about some of the releases, Mike Kaye took a look at Brandon Smith. Kaye seems to think the switch to 3-4 hurt him. That plus some of the offseason additions like kKamu Grugier-Hill outperformed him.

Another TE...

Pretty sure he spent the entire 22 season on the practice squad. They likely figure they can keep him there if they wish.

A little more info on him... Reich does love using TEs...
