I'd like to go one step further and either trade him in a package to someone who needs a veteran clipboard holder/game mgr/checkdown artist, or cut him outright to save the $$ . Have you all seen enough from Simms to justify keeping him as the 3rd QB? Just trying to get creative but realistic here. My worst fear is that the wrong decision is made to go with Cassel and there is a fan revolt b/c everyone here knows that would be a complete squandering of talent.

doesn't matter what round he was drafted in or that it was UConn. You're right about him not being a highly-touted WR prospect, but if that's the route you want to take, why don't you go after our starter @ RT while you are at it. Guys who have potential and who are correctly drafted as prospects have a good shot at development & production with the right teaching/coaching. Apparently this is happening here.

your spelling is a huge disappointment, along with your critique

Um, OK.... Funny in a completely unrealistic way

if that's the case, I am seeing a lot of discontent among the WR corps, and hope the days of Captain Checkdown are not ahead of us. Cassel at QB is like putting regular gasoline in a Lamborghini. we know it is; Meh is the euphemism for being completely underwhelmed. I think you might have missed the sarcasm.

let's stop it already, unless someone was there and can vouch for what actually happened on that play. Otherwise, it's pure conjecture and sounds like a dead horse being beaten; not to mention too many people with way too much time on their hands = critiquing a single dropped pass in TRAINING CAMP

perhaps Rex is holding out to maintain a competitive advantage going into week 1, we'll see

or some cold ice ....

I especially like the players' recognition that this coaching staff is actually TEACHING actionable skills, which could be a condemnation of the past regime. I also see Rex's positive attitude as infectious, unlike Dour Doug

Yes, b/c Bob Woods also came close to being decapitated.

not true. I have been leveraging the existing customer card year after year. They just combine discounts & credits to offset the full cost of ST.....at least that's what my experience has been. You just need to be firm & direct with what you want.

what I meant by this is DirecTV is operating independently so their customer-facing operations and overall experience is the same as usual......work your deals !!

not an impact whatsoever

Started with DTV chat session today, the net/net of that was a paltry offer of $5 off each month for 6 months, along with free RedZone. I said no thanks, but I had to take a very aggressive/bundled from Comcast since I am already a home internet/phone customer of theirs, and my wife can't justify us keeping DTV esp. when all we're offered is $30 chump change over 6 months. She apologized and said we don't want to lose you, here's the customer retention # (800-824-9081) with a PIN to get me right through. So I get to Robert in Tennessee (same first name as mine, I take the opening for small talk) and he cuts right to the chase; what is it that I want exactly? I tell him as a customer since 2007, I want a combination of discounts/credits to offset the cost of Sunday Ticket. No B.S.. He says hold a minute, let me see what I can do for you. I then ask him, "by the way, do you sell a lot of Sunday Ticket Max options to your customers, b/c sometimes I travel for work and hate to miss the games live". (My way of setting the hook for ST Max). Actually, he says, "the best promos going now are on ST Max, not the standard ST." Net/net: MSRP of ST Max = $354. The promo gets me 1/2 off that right off the top (=$177). He then says he can offer 1/2 off the 1/2, for a balance of $88.50. OK, we're getting close, I commented. He then says he'll apply an instant credit of $88.50 to my existing balance for regular DTV programming. He also advises me to call back for a similar deal on Center Ice a little bit closer to the start of the NHL season. WINNING ......!!!!

please do tell how GRo is not miles ahead of the last OC we had, who was so bad I almost forgot his name (....Hackett?) it matters not that it's Roman's 1st year; even BB fans from 'Cuse should be already able to appreciate the value of a real NFL OC.

Which one ?

No trade value? Someone always thinks they can fix a problem elsewhere

can someone who has been @ TC and watched Mulligan please explain to me how he should make the final 53? Based on what I've seen in the 2 preseason games, he is a penalty machine waiting to happen, zero YAC, Lee Smith clone. If we need a receiver-eligible body for a formation, Cyrus can do it (....he did it vs. Cleveland) I know Rex has said Mulligan is the strongest TE in the league, or something to that effect, but I prefer the athletic ability of Gray & Gragg after Clay. Thoughts?

You need to. It's a time warp to when things weren't so uber-PC

hope he makes it. We need character guys like this ...... it was a tough read on a Sunday morning, but uplifting at the same time

Solomon: What the heck is going on with the Buffalo Bealllz?

wow, you really nailed it

I'd like to see Thigpen retained as a KR/PR exclusively so as not to get caught up in the WR numbers. I'd like to see us also potentially swing a trade to a team to a team who has a need at WR for us to get something back in a position of need.

nailed it

That statement has been bandied about but let's not go there just yet .....
