Hm. Dunno, I think Izzo stinks. I mean, sticks.

And I vote "Floaters" becomes an official position in the NFL, hehe.

Appreciate the feedback. I originally had Izzo on the list, but had a hard time dropping Guyton (younger, faster, more upside) and Matt Slater (looked pretty good on STs and on defense! Just too versatile)

you mean floaters isn't already a position? What position did Troy Brown play all those years

I agree, for sure. I just think Izzo gets a spot belonging to a lock hitting IR or at least PUP (Who's left?). Also, Spann may very well get cut (I like him, but he doesn't make my roster).

Izzo CANNOT go on PUP

Hehe. Don't tell anyone, but I actually know how to write. Even the best suck at night I guess.

Thanks for interpreting me correctly, hehe.

I think we need some time to digest what happened, watch tonight's game over again and then review all the other games as well before making any judgements. I also have a feeling that the Pats will make a trade or two before the final cutdown, just a hunch.

I've been having that hunch too. We have enough LB's to trade for a whole team, hehe.
