  • Having lost a wife to cancer, I can vouch that no matter what kind of job you have, your head is not going to be in it, even if you do not have 300 lb people trying to murderize you.

  • Thank you, but it was 20 years ago this month, I have learned to live with the presence of her absence.

  • LOL after all that talk at RF about how we overpaid Ekakitie, they gave Judge $1500 less in guaranteed money this season.

Bridge played well considering, but our D wasn't exactly our starters.. No Westerman, Leggett, Loffler, Wild, Thomas, Randle and a whole lot of rotating going on. 

It's kind of why I'm not really worried about Nichols performance. If we didn't play the riders so soon again when it counts, I doubt he even sees the field tonight. But not having Adams, Dressler and Harris in his offense certainly has a big impact on his play too

Thats true. The way he beat them is the way you beat our starters though.

It's good Lankford redeemed himself later in the game, though. It's just too bad the nice TD return he had was negated on an offside penalty.

He looked very "McDuffiesque" on that return, I don't know if Lankford is the best new receiver option because of his size but I'd like to see them keep him around for awhile to find out.

He wanted a signig bonus for what amounted mediocre kicking overall and often brutal punting. Austin probably thinks he can get that for less from someone else. I think he,s right

Is sergio castillo a FA still? He looked bloody good for us last preseason / camp.

Yeah he did. Liggins catch looked pretty dang good on the replay. Washington iirc had a couple called back and has looked good in camp. The tier of WRs on the bubble all have some pretty interesting skill/size/athleticism. They are gonna have some tough choices on that last wr spot. Being able to return and a legit threat to score is really gonna help lankford.

The wild card is Daniel Williams, he arrived in camp late so they will have to take a bit more time to have a better look at him.  He's the rookie receiver that carries the most hype imo.  I expect he will be on the PR or IR when the season begins but if he pans out another receiver may have to be cut to accommodate him.

So they have Dressler, Adams, Denmark and JFG or another Canuck locked in positions.  That leaves all of the following competing for one starting import receiver job plus a couple of backups or development guys.

Davis, Lankford, Liggins, Lowder, Peterson, Raper, Sheppard, Stafford, Thorpe, Washington, Williams.
