I guess Central Connecticut was just a little too big of a leap for him straight to the NFL. Imagine what that was like.. One practice and cut. Ouch. Anyone think it's possible if Stallworth can't get healthy he gets cut too? I'd take a healthy Jabbar and/or Caldwell over an in and out the lineup Stallworth. Especially with Moss around to stretch the field a bit...

If the Jets don't snap him up, Hairston is most likely heading for the shadow roster.
He was doing workouts with Tebucky Jones to prepare himself for the NFL. Tebucky may not be a Patsfans' favorite, but I think he'd set the kid a good example in this regard. I'd be a little surprised if any conditioning run failure (assuming he did get to run) wasn't injury related.Boy, it sure looks like Hairston failed the conditioning run - in which case, just a TERRIBLE job for a guy with a long-shot chance at even cracking the P.S. You don't need to be NFL-caliber to pass the conditioning test, just be in proper shape.
When I first read the thread title, I thought I saw "Harrison cut." My heart nearly fell out of my chest.
Tom Casale said something about Hairston irked him in minicamp. According to Casale, he didn't look like he was making the most of the opportunity given to him.
Unless another RB is signed, we are dangerously thin at the position.
Does anyone know if this release was injury-related, and if it was, when did this injury occur?
We need more RBs for TC, and less WRs. Right now.
I think for training camp it is thin..One may have a roster all set, but if there is an injury..it will show VERY quick. AND I also think the team is looking for a young RB for the future..more a short yardage player...a 3rd down back to be mentored by Faulk. It's a large disappointment to me..and the team. I would veenture to guess it's an attitude thing in some way..which could be conditioning related. IT DOES open up the door for Smith and Hill as well as Mills..and it could lead to a signing of another player. A 5th RB spot as well as he was a possible and one with an inside track, being a draft pick.Dangerously thin at RB? What team are you looking at. We pretty much already have our RB roster decided as it is. Maroney-Faulk-Morris-Evans. There isn't much room for another player to get in there. I feel pretty comfortable with it the way it is. Each player has his role. We aren't one of these teams that needs a Pro Bowl running back. As long as the running game at least compliments the passing game, then it will be fine. Maroney could give us more than that if he is as good as I think he will be.
