Coach Tuesday Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 What, on earth, is the DOWNSIDE to cutting Bobby Shaw? 1/2 of a positive net play per game? This is exactly the right thing to do. This team is wholly underperforming, and we ALL agree here that the players don't seem to be getting the message that their lack of focus and production is costing this team games. So, cut a guy with NO upside, who makes stupid mistakes, who makes at least the vet minimum (a present from TD to Ralph), and whom NO ONE expected to be cut - EXACTLY. Now the players know - NO ONE is safe on this roster. If you don't produce, you're gone. Maybe this is what this team needed to turn it around and realize that if they don't turn it up a notch, they could be next. I'll tell you what - the next move like this will be to demote Travis Henry. They can tell the public it's because of his injury, but the players will know the real reason - this guy has played thru cracked ribs for chrissake. Time to start sending messages - this franchise has been too soft for too freakin' long. By the way - you know who I think this move was intended to send the biggest message to? JOSH REED.
