I don't know about soft, he was ALWAYS strong vs. the run. I don't know what your definition of soft is, but to me at least, any CB that will come up and hit in the running game isn't soft. His hands, of course, are anything but soft.
Carlos was very bad at coverage his first two seasons, but he showed good signs last year, and had a much better preseason then anyone thought he was capable of given his injury.
yeaa ill take a wait an see approach on em this year. my definition of soft is leaving a 10-15 yard cushion on 3rd and 2. I HATE THAT

We really need to discuss the WR situation. I am thrilled if they think Kelly and Thomas are going to step up as the #4 and #5, but that means at least one of them will play alot and with one injury both of them will play and that basically goes against all the evidence from the preseason. Do they know something we don't? I'm confused? Should we be encouraged?

Though if Grilliams had a problem with it, all he had to do is tell Rogers to move up. Grilliams seemed to want to bait the opponent to throw on 3rd and short, figuring he would make them play pitch and catch to get the first down as opposed to grinding it out.
Still pretty soft, I agree.

I can't believe Mcmullen was cut. I swear to God if Kelly ends up sitting all season I'll flip shit, but I hope this means he's healing better then they have let on.
Some have suggested they may make a play for another vet wr, any idea who might be available after cuts? Why would we even bank on that when Mcmullen played so well for us?
As for Thrash over McMullen . . . that's a tough call. Based on this preseason alone I'd say Billy is the clear choice, but Thrash has been so clutch for us over the years, he is probably a consistent performer in practice, and he doesn't seem to be injured much, so I can see why he made it over McMullen, but I'm still upset to see him go.
I hope Mason makes it somewhere, he is fun to watch.

No love for Thrash? His one of our best special team players. And if we cut him, that leaves us with only 2 WRs with true NFL experience, to run the WCO.

I sure hope this is supposed to be sarcasm. Devine was what? 3 of 8 for 32 yards and 1 int? thats lights out?? that statement is a head scratcher if it wasnt meant as sarcasm.

Here is what I don't understand. Devin Thomas has shown nothing all pre season. Put his ass on IR or do something with him to make room for Billy M. Billy M. clearly outplayed him this pre season. Makes no sense. Our situation at wr is a joke.
In all fairness to Thomas he's behind schedule because of injury. It's too early to bail on him for a journeyman guy like McMullen.
