  What are we doing on the d-line? All we have is Tuttle, Brown, and Stallworth I believe.

Man, I just don't understand releasing Spencer Brown. He was the only RB who looked productive in preseason. 

[96Bravo]

All those corners gone too. Curious considering injury history of our starters.

Tuttle, Brown, Stallworth, Thurman, D. Williams, and LaBryan Ray

That's the sucky thing. There's a lot of guys on all 32 rosters who bust there asses and are loved by the coaches who just simply don't have the prerequisite talent to hack it in the NFL. Every coach at every level has guys they wish they could take the talent from this slacker and give it to this guy who busts his ass and just isn't nearly as naturally talented.

 

Are you talking about Brown or Hubbard? Or Thomas?

Damn, they released half of Rhule's pet projects. 

Let's hope they know what they're doing.

On paper, as of right now, this defense is fuging paper thin full of unknowns.    Good godalmighty we have zero depth on the defense

To be fair nothing has changed, talent wise, from the last pre-season game - we just don't have the actual bodies on the roster anymore.

I think many of the yards gained by S Brown were against sub par talent.  Preseason stats are not in and of themselves a way to fully evaluate talent.   Bumper Pool was in on a lot of tackles and I believe Coral was the most productive passer to put it in some context.

Chinn at LB is an interesting thought.

It's the best place for him - he shines close to the line of scrimmage. He's so-so in coverage, so stop matching him up against WRs.

Bradley Roby just released by the Saints.... Sign that man

Who ever they bring in better be a fast learner or know the system in some way.

Same story every year...

New guys will learn the next few weeks as backups and special teamers. All Smith-Marsette needs to know right away is 1. run fast.  2. run straight.  3. don't drop the frikkin ball.

Spencer Brown looked pretty good IMO

Damn Brandon Smith gone already

Damn, Shi and Vann cut, hate to see that happen to my Gamecocks. At least we got Taylor Stallworth, who I am so thrilled has been able to carve out a heck of a respectable career for an UDFA.
