Thank god, I was starting to get really concerned about our TE depth. Maybe he can make the transition to LB, it would appear he has hands of stone.

No! Not Jarvis Herring. I had such high hopes for him.


Who the hell is Jarvis Herring.

(here we go again!)

Nooooooo!!! Not Jarvis Herring!!!!!!

Then again, I guess the roster's pretty crowded. They're packed in like sardines. And its not like Herring or any of the others are all that popular, surrounded by screaming groupers.

These guys must all be under a tremendous amount of pressure that we really just can't fathom.

Still I thought Herring had a chance... he's in pretty good shape... covered with mussels...a real team player... not shellfish at all. But I guess he was really floundering during the conditioning run.

I guess it would have been a fluke if he made the squid, but it's worth it for all these guys to give it a go just for the halibut.

With apologies to Clark Gable and Vivian Leigh in "Gone With The Wind"........................Frankly Scallop, I don't give a Clam"

So...whats the rasp...I mean rap on Rasby??? Blocker more?? A pass reciever?? Only heard of him in passing....and didn't know if he was more like Fauria or Graham...

Herring had a good run. His departure will spawn more speculation.
