Can you say gross mismanagement of the roster?

Alderidge I don't even think touched the field. He wasn't active for any game that I saw.

Mason, our 5th RB, took some snaps and was relatively ineffective. Cerrato got to tell an inspriational story of how he kept Mason after all these years of him trying out but it ends up being for naught.

It just looks like Sherman Lewis is the catalyst for these moves. It's strange that out of nowhere these moves take place after he is announced play caller.

I would think Sherman Smith had a fair amount of input with the Ganther pickup. As for the Levi Jones pickup, he's can't be any worse than what we have.

There was talk of bringing in O-lineman before Lewis was named the play caller.

Let's face it they had to do something.

Not that it would have been any better, but I think Runyan would be an upgrade over Levi Jones. Bottom line is they are both old and won't be any better than what we got.

Levi is five years younger than Runyan

Wasn't he drafted by the Cards a few years ago?

Wasn't Runyan basically trying to figure out whether he was able to play health-wise?

Not at LT.

And if Jones isn't any better than Heyer, we really have problems.

I think we do. Here's a funny article from back in August.

Both are old. Both have injury issues. Runyan is a natural right tackle, Jones a natural left. Thus, Jones.

Jones was Cinci's starter last year and, at least, was a competent left tackle for the last several years. Yes, everyone passed on him and, of course, that's a red flag. But really, Jones v. Heyer at the LT spot? Jones.

As a 30 year old myself, I'd like to remind people that 30 is not that old. Runyan is 35, and I think he's more beat up than Jones.
