zdro22 Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Why is Corto taking up a roster spot? He is a backup linebacker that we cant put on the field to play linebacker! Did he do anything on special teams last night? It would have been nice to have Ellis dressed yesterday when we couldnt get to brady in the 2nd half! What a waste! Cut his small a** and get a real linebacker in here! Should have been done during the offseason! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've no idea myself, so I'd just trust the coach's opinions there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just dont see the role he is filling, especially since he cant play LB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cugalabanza Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Corto caught my eye one time last night. Nice tackle on a return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steely Dan Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 A friend of mine told me that according to Tasker, when he was a Bill the ST coach got to pick the last guy at every position. I think that's probably true here too. Corto is a great ST player and IIRC, he made a hell of a play last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know nothing about Cortos' abilities as a LB. So since you have to fill out the ST, I guess they made that choice over an extra DE - I'm guessing that Bryant was tried on the ST (and you try every non-starter - see Jason Peters years ago) and didn't show much. It's a hard call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
