I agree lotus just frustrating

Re: Around the NFL Week 8
 

So the Pats have released Leigh Bodden. Interesting. I've heard mixed things on whether he's got anything left

Re: Around the NFL Week 8
 

If this was two weeks ago, Bodden be a good pickup for us in the secondary. But now that our playoff odds have pushed under 15%, I'd rather just play Barnes for 16 games and chart his improvement rather than replace him because he's been a liability.

Developing corners is never fun, but we should at least try.

Since we dont have a real QB I always regarded it as a "going thru the motions" season anyways.

Bite your tongue. We have Jon Crompton.

I heard we're trading Crompton for Dez bryant and Mark Sanchez.
Reserve your Super Bowl seats.

[QUOTE]"If he's not producing, but he's practicing hard, playing hard, doing everything you ask -- you've just got to find ways to try to help that guy be a productive player for you. But if the production isn't there, the attitude isn't right, then you've got to say, 'OK, is he giving us anything in the locker room?'"

That was never Berrian's style either. Aloof and introverted, he had a reputation for caring more about fashion and celebrity status than football. One former teammate said he'd be willing to bet Berrian didn't even know several other players' names.

[/QUOTE]
Bernard Berrian, yet another sack of crap playing football just for the money, not because of winning or the like. Maybe Haynesworth and McNabb can join him.

A division rival, no less. The second Bears-Lions game might be interesting.

Jahvid Best can't run past Harris any more. Calvin Johnson can't beat Harris any more.

Re: Around the NFL Week 8
 

As of right now do the Skins have any spots to fill on the active roster or PS?

Oct. 18- picked up OL Malechi
Oct. 25- cut OL Malechi
Oct. 26- picked up OL Compass
Oct. 28- cut OL Compass

Malechi was signed to the PS. Compass was signed to the active roster.

The team promoted CB Brandyn Thompson to the active roster yesterday Oct. 28.

So I guess I'm just wondering with all the changes what spots are still available. Are all the active spots filled and are there any PS spots to be filled?

And so, that hyped three-headed monster of Fair Marion, Speedy Felix, and the Correct Choice is reduced to one guy with a high-ankle sprain.

So, in other words, it's dead, with so few fantasy points produced. :laughing2

Your a fan after my own heart....(sniff, sniff)

If we want to get younger.... lets ditch the 30 y/o's and go with the 24 y/o Crompton and see what he can do and if he's worth keeping and developing for next year.

I don't know why everytime I hear the name Crompton I start thinking of the NWA song "Straight out of Compton." lol.

We ain't dead yet.
