We've stopped the bleeding. Now we've got to stop the bleeding

[top dawg]

Man, I am psyched about all the goings on. Who would have ever thought that I'd be smiling with all of these cuts? I mean, wow! We have actually parted the ways with Pep. He got what he wanted, now will we get what we want (By the way, I think he kinda implied that Carolina wasn't committed to a winning tradition)? We finally dumped a whole lot of dead weight, beginning with Jake. Feeley has left for the Rams. And, unbelievably, we don't have any starters from our 2009 D-line. A week ago, i would have never believed that our slow moving, conservative, some might say "loyal" FO would move so fast and decisively, seemingly using a machete as opposed to a scalpel to cut the fat, and then some. Yeah, I'm grinning right now, from ear to ear, but you know how you're getting what you think is great news---mouth all wide open, looking directly at your source of enjoyment---but then a little bit of reality starts to seep through, and that smile becomes almost immeasurably smaller, and your eyes begin to rove just a wee bit (i.e., it becomes a little fake and/or plastered), well I'm beginning to get that feeling a little bit. Time to stop jettisoning the dead weight through the torpedo tubes, and fix and close some of those valves that have sprung open from the vacancies.

I like the apparent youth movement, but we need some old blood and new blood to rise back to the top.

On an off note, why hasn't anyone mentioned Dumervil?

[Swarly]

Completely agreed. It's all still a little confusing and overwhelming, but this is for the best. It really put a lot more emphasis on the draft though.

and as for Dumerville: we don't have a 1st and 3rd round to get him and even if we did Denver would match whatever we offered to keep their best player.

Because the Broncos want a 1st and 3rd for Dumervil and we don't have a first.

[Squirrel]

Yeah Dumerville cost to much.

Yeah, that's realistic. I was thinking that perhaps we could work something out, but the Broncos just aren't gonna let him go unless thatere is a huge bone involved in a trade deal, which is probably unrealistic.

You know what Dumervil's middle name is?

Kool!

I guess I don't have to ask what his parents were smoking.
