Yeah, I am still shocked he landed in our laps in the second round. I think he held his own for the most part against Orakpo and Kerrigan. I didn't see any real mistakes against Jared friggin Allen either.
I can't wait to laugh in the face of everybody who thinks Troup is gone. I should start writing everyone's name down. Of course, that could all backfire on me when he does get cut lol.
MERRIMAN. Will not be cut. Period. Just thought you should know big guy. He could last the whole season after having his Achilles fixed up this off season and he should have a big year. He's looked explosive in camp (in case you haven't heard) and very fast. He's probably ahead of Kelsay on the depth chart but Chan doesn't want to wear him out by making him a starter right after his surgery right away, so he will be doing a lot of situational pass rushing. I wouldn't be surprised to see the man earn a new contract if he makes it through the season.
I had a dream last night (not joking) that Easley was running routes like a mad man and getting behind the defense consistently. The commentator even mentioned it, after he beat his man right off the line and had a good 7 feet on his defender. But Tyler Pigpen still through the interception lol. Hopefully it's a premonition.
-The first team offense shows it's pretty face.
-VY outplays Tyler to pretty much seal the deal on the #2 spot.
-Glenn holds it down against Allen.
-McKillop leads the team in tackles again and is in talk for locking up 2nd MLB spot.
-2 of the starting 4 get at least one sack.
-Spiller looks better than Freddie. Again.
-Ruvell Martin breaks his leg and frees up a spot for Easley.
Williams ran a 4.36 at his pro-day.
I also would like to note... that Madden won't give him the speed credit that he is due. lol FML! I will adjust that if it's not at least 91.
If some of you would trade away any three players (some of you the whole d-line) then why didn't we just move up in the draft like the redskins did... I'm sure we can possibly do that for Barkely. Anybody want to do that? Maybe we'd have to see him play in preseason games first before any of us really started to like Barkley and make that decision?
This is too much of a loaded question to bother really but I am just going to say no. If this is Madden though... I would try to squeeze Luck from Indi for Fitzpatrick and Freddie... possibly throw in a low pick if that wouldn't do it.
Troup showed some talent. Wanny was impressed with his 2010 tape. Guys with Troups ability and potential don't grow on Trees. So when we cut Troup... and 2-3 years down the line we don't have Edwards and Johnson... We still won't have Troup... Who could be a stud at the time.
I think the roster limit should be raised by two.
