Fiore:

Not surprised he was cut but I'm sorry it had to be that way. This is a guy who had "the right work ethic"; he was a "workroom wonder". Problem is that his injuries took away his quickness/speed/agility/explosiveness. The skins took a gamble signing him a year ago and the dice came up "craps" on that roll. But the gamble was worth taking...

Canidate:

Has one redeeming talent; he is FAST. He is not rugged; he is not super-tough; he is not a game breaker; he is injured a lot. The Skins went after him to increase team speed and Candate certainly did that except for one thing - - he wasn't good enough to be on the field all the time and so his speed was of little value on the sidelines. Here is an equation to keep in mind:

Canidate = Journeyman

Trotter:

An overpaid underachiever who is a legend in his own mind. Best you can say of him is that he is slightly above average as an inside linebacker but he thinks he is a STAR and wants to be paid like one and treated like one. Absent injuries to about 4 linebackers, he will not be missed here.
