Thanks. I knew that there was some guy who seemed to be in and out of the door on a weekly basis, but I thought it was a cornerback or safety (not Hank Poteat!)

Still here to learn

PatsWickedPissah

Yes.
Vin is here to learn the O and prepare for the shadow roster where he's available without taking a 53 spot. Only if Cassel is really injured will Vin be on the 53 September 9th.

okay--just kind of confused me--i suppose that we could sign him, and then cut him again in a couple of weeks

Good catch. I have added Richardson to the Practice Squad.

You might be thinking of Sean Morey, but no one has Tuitele beat.

I'd keep Richardson and cut James if he is as bad as people say. I didn't personally notice his play, but I've never seen a player get all negative comments from writers and posters.

Meriweather is not a cornerback, he's a safety. Tebucky Jones was a cornerback this time of year too.

If James can't play anymore, I'd try to pick up a vet who could still play corner in a pinch if our starters went down.

I'd say Richardson and Wilson should be working at corner.

Nickel is fine for Meriweather. Troy can play the slot and he's not a corner either.

Guy was SO short he'd get lost in the grass when they didn't mow the field.

I think I heard Yates recently practiced. Anyone else hear it?

Tiny nitpick: three, including Baugher.
