Pretty much this. And i don't thing this will be the last time something like this happens

I get reporters questioning the Mario thing, but there are plenty of other topics to ask that are more interest to fans. How can they ask so many questions about Mario when we have a qb competition going on, and from reports, Manuel might have taken a slight lead today? How is THAT not the number one thing that kept getting asked? It should have been. Instead, Mario was asked about more than qb competition. Help, the kicking competition is more interesting than a mysterious injury that sounds minor at worst

Haw

I agree we should be near bottom, but not below jests and raiders

I think he sticks with the team for at least a couple more years. He is our best pass rusher, and I don't see him getting cut until they find someone to replace him.

We are all calling it a toe injury, but the report says foot... So that encompasses more than toes as well. I don't see why it matters he didn't practice. Now if he was put on the PUP list.... That would be a little scary

Naw, it is still going to be the pats* most likely. They are still number 1 where it matters: QB and HC. Any other team has too much to prove to be a serious challenger. And the hype surrounding miami is over the top. Tanahill had a solid rookie year, but hardly a break out star. Wallace is one of the best deep threats, but not a great all around reciever. Them losing reggie bush is really going to hurt them. Swapping Dansby for Ellerbe is a latteral move at best, and I think a downgrade in my opinion. Dion Jordan is a high risk high reward type. And they arguably are worse at LT than they were last year, I just don't see this team competing with the pats* anymore than the bills or jests really. Unless one of the other teams pulls a big surprise, it will still be the Pats* division this year.

lol, oh yeah, let's boycott going to the games. Not showing up to games has really helped Jax! Let's not show up to games, so we don't just have a crappy team, but a crappy fanbase too! you would think that Not showing up to games = playoffs by the way some of you are talking.

Also, july 30th they are going to report from bills camp.

I think we should agree that all personel decisions was were made with collective input, and everyone should be accountable for it. Most of the responsibility falls on the top guys, and Whaley was 2nd in command. I don't think their FA signing record is THAT bad. I think it is quite decent, and better than what the recent previous regimes have done. Now their drafting on the other hand..... there is a bit of a mess

I'm calling it now: He will get signed by Denver

To be fair, you left off chandler and pears, but I agree with the point that you are making.

Always liked him. Our go to guy every time the injury bug came

Honestly, they had plenty of OLB. You got Mario and Lawson are the starters and Hughes is the situational pass rusher. Anderson was fighting for situational pass rusher, and he probably couldn't fill that role.

He seemed to do better in a 3-4 from his NE days.

depends on why they cut him. They cut cheap players all the time too. Donald Jones and David Nelson were pretty cheap players, and they didn't bat an eye to release them. Personally, I think if anderson was making league minimum, he probably would have been cut faster and probably about the time Jones and Nelson were cut. I bet his high salary and the dead money was the only thing keeping him on the roster this long.

The timing is odd. I would have expected this when it got cut down to 53 players. He must have looked pretty bad

Agreed. D'oh!

I don't think so. He doesn't seem like the type. I think he truly want to win and doesn't care about his personal stats like some of the other diva receivers. He loves attention, but he isn't the type to complain about not getting the ball thrown to him. Like last year, when they had him MICed up, on the nfln show Sound Effects, he told Fitz during the game something like "whenever we run this play, they put 2-3 guys on me, and that is getting these guys open (referring to chandler and jones I think) and the next play Fitz threw a 1st down to Chandler. Stevie definently has a diva mentality, because he loves having a celebrity type status, but I truly believe he is a team player and wants what's best for the team, even though he does make mistakes now and then. I do think that one of these rookies who take over the "number one" receiver role, but I think that he will be a safety blanket for the QB, since he can get so open very easy. Stevie will probably be the slot guy now. Woods looks very promising.

Hard to tell. Peters would have been fined if he didn't show up. Byrd won't get fined.

From memory, he came back as early as september, but when he came back, he wasn't in shape Edit He didn't miss any games, but missed all the camps.

I am not saying Chris Brown is a Pulitzer talent level writer, but I did come to appreciate him more after reading/watching Hannah Buehler's stuff. Cute girl I guess, but man I cringe almost every time when she has a segment or an article.

Also, Hypothetically, if byrd holds out and doesn't play the first few games, and the other safties play well, that would be very Steeler like result. Letting a vet walk and plugging in someone right away to take their place. I am not saying that will be the result, but it is possible.

I think the biggest dropoff in the talent from byrd to the other safties is the big playmaking ability. otherwise, the dropoff isn't huge. There is definitely potential in the safties that we do have signed. I still would like byrd on the team. His big plays are not something just any player can do. But this defense needs more than big plays, they need to play consistent. So hopefully it was coaching that screwed us last year and pettine can turn this D around

I think the colts punter did, and a few others
