Hoover released...

[Murph]

This is a chemistry move. Hoover and Delhomme were very tight and Hoover may not have his head on straight about the change. Wonder if he had some words about it to Marty or Fox, if so, this is a nice little message to anyone else with words.

Funny, that's exactly what I thought in the first minute after hearing about it.

Still, I don't think Fox and Hurney are deciding on these tough cuts, its coming from higher up.

I wonder what he means by that?

He's wondering if the Panthers # 1 priority is to win, or to save $.

How do you know this?

The Vikings learned the value of having a kickoff specialist who can put the ball into the end zone on a consistent basis during the NFC title game, during which Thomas Morstead of the Saints routinely pinned Percy Harvin into taking touchbacks. Given that the Vikings also have a not-so-stellar coverage unit, the best way to lay the foundation for victory in the field-position battle is to force the opponent to start from the 20 after a score or at the start of one of the two halves.

Interested in what Hoover will say about it. He is a pretty direct guy. Old school throwback. He may just speak the truth.

but I am no expert like p55 so i really dont know

Gantt's 2 cents:

Hoover was due a $100k roster bonus and a $860k base salary this year. Too close to a million for hang around.

so now we can't yell Hoooooooovvvvv!!! or Moooooooose! at the stadium anymore? this is a lot to take in one season!

Hoover is one of the best lead blockers in the game?

Thats news to the rest of the NFL.

You're right. He's had nothing to do with our success running the ball these last two years. Fiammetta certainly looked capable of taking over, right?

Also, just so we're straight, was he cut because he's tight with Delhomme, or because he's not a good blocker?

[SmootsDaddy89]

Good. I want to see what Fiammetta's made of.

Atleast the FO is (seemingly) dropping the loyalty crap.

...and another tweet from Harris in response to a question about what he thought of Hoov's release:

Makes me wonder if there is some credibility to Zod's "chemistry move" idea that Hoover was released because he voiced his displeasure about Jake being released?

Sounds like Zod was right. Otherwise, why wouldn't they have just released Hoov when they let the other guys go in that first group?

Sounds like something happened after the initial releases.
