Why?  He's not...well he just is not an improvement anywhere.  I guess the depth in the secondary is worse than I thought. 

I guess they were just looking for someone familiar with the system to step in on an as needed basis (aka in case of emergency).

Worth remembering we get AJ Bouye activated for Week 3 (I think it was only a 2 game suspension, right?) as well, which will be huge.

He's not familiar with the system as far as I can tell.  When was he cut the last time? I thought he'd been gone a couple of seasons at least?  Hell I can't keep up anymore.

No, he played shockingly halfway decent last season. Like, it was weird and I don't blame you for not remembering that little nugget.

The only reason I remember is because I had completely written him off as well. We just cut him for the first time (under Rhule at least) this season. From an SI article:

His usage on defense was fairly nonexistent during his first two years but appeared on 411 snaps last year in 16 games.

Damn, I thought he was let go when Rhule got here.  Talk about disappearing.

    • ^I want that, but Rodriguez over KC. Don't hate KC as much at that spot, but rather take a WR with the pick we gain in that trade than in the 1st. 
    • I think there is good points in this thread to what the team needs to do. 1) Ball isn't really the issue but, he needs reigned in.  Coach and he need to realize when things aren't falling from the three and learn to play other facets of the game.  He's an amazing talent and when he's on, he's on.  But he can also shoot you out of a game.  We're lucky Miami went that way but that is too many missed threes.  He still needs to bulk up if he can, but he needs to drive more.  He's pretty good at finishing usually and hopefully the fouls come (probably not though).   2) The whole team needs to be more physical.  As others have stated, we need more bulk in our bigs.  Diabate is a hurricane of energy but cannot go against the larger centers.  I love him on the team but he should be more of a match up type guy or energy off the bench.  I think he'd be insane off the bench.  However I think the biggest issue with Diabate and Kaulk is the lack of offensive game.  The lack of a jump shot or anything.  Teams figured out to just leave them on the screen and crash lanes.  There has to be some sort of threat.  We need a 4 and a 5 that can do those things and stretch out the court. 3) Bridges.  He's just undersized.  However, I feel he really threw his all into it the last few weeks when others were gassed.  He was ok not being a focal point.  I'd like to have him off the bench as well but I assume he'd be traded to make things work.  4) Miller.  Dude can light it up when on, but disappears for quarters at a time.  Also he needs to work on ball handling and passing.  He's a turnover machine at bad times.  Also hopefully over the injury so he can bulk up too.   5) Kon. Just a rookie.  Long season and back injury.  I have no doubt he'll be back stronger and focused.  Needs to work on defense and physicality like the whole team but yes, a rookie he'll get there. 6) Coby.  Has to be resigned, no question.  The bench lineup is rough without him running the point.  Team has big potential and the front office seems sharp.  They seen the hive and how crazy it got and how much the city wants this.
