Sort of dumb to cut someone when you don't have a replacement yet. We've been down that road before. I don't believe Stoudermire was even at this camp.

April 28, 20169 yr comment_194180 That's football. Guys get released all the time. It is what it is. If you have a good money contract and aren't producing.. you are replaced. Football is a business also. Wish some NHL players could be released also.

I haven't seen the other guys mentioned (other than Dressler but DUH!) but I've seen Veltung and there's a lot to like in his potential for the return game
April 28, 20169 yr comment_194189 The DL is exciting potentially. Alabama and the SEC in general usually has a ton of talent and speed.
April 28, 20169 yr comment_194194 With Medlock being one of our 4 DI's, it's tough to see another DI being spent on a return specialist. Sure Stoudermire played some other spots but he was primarily a return guy. It will be interesting to see who the other 3 DI's end up being this year. I think there will be one DL, one DB and hard to call on the last one right now.

Dressler is a hell of a punt returner and efficient about it too. I thought Stoudermire was a pretty good DB when we got to see him a few times, never really understood why they wouldn't use him there more and tried to shoehorn him into the offense.

Did I imagine that he had a couple interceptions last year? I hope this means they've found guys they are more excited about.

I'm not sure about your other comment, but I was only mentioning it as it wasn't a particularly great play on his part. Just being in the right spot (which is obviously important).
April 29, 20169 yr comment_194285 I think he had another INTERCEPTION perhaps the play before but it was taken away on some chincy call.
April 30, 20169 yr comment_194333 Well I don't know what you guys think, but it looks like maybe our scouting team is really doing something. I mean, like, we released Stoudemire, Jhomo Gordon, Davis, maybe these guys are not superstars, but they have been good players. But we have found something better. And that's a good thing.
