Roger that! I also think Rosie and his agent have this Ty Law thing about money.

I definitely would like Seau to return and would not frown on Colvin returning. I think they both help a lot in the run game. Seems that we have a lot of trouble with LBs in the passing game (covering TEs in short pass situations and whatnot, hence my desire for youth). That seem true to others or is it just me?

3-3-5 with a safety that can be a CB (hello Merriweather.) Of course, I'm not Belichick.

Desert, was Thomas on the squad in that AFCCG in Indianapolis? Was Alexander normally playing big minutes at ILB in 2006?

Perhaps it's you and RayClay who are a bit slow.

Let's see, we added Thomas and cut Colvin. What's 1-1?

Oh, Seau and Bruschi continue to sage in only one direction every year also.

So we've cut a 30 year old with years of experience in our syatem and added a 30 year old without same.

Older, less experienced. Tell me where you see the progress.

I remember adding Thomas and still having Colvin last season. By doing so and allowing a younger player to go elsewhere, they became better. Now you're complaining because the team cut a player who couldn't pass the physical?

Nevermind moving this to the right thread.

Colvin did not pass a physical. Neither did Kyle Brady. Neither did Lua. They were all released. That's standard procedure.

Colvin, while I one of his supporters, was overpaid, especially nearing the end of the deal.
