Signed by NE yesterday. Man they love us. We must be doing something right, right? Why else do they want all of our cuts?

Tom Heckert was the best GM we've had since the return.

It's a shame for him that he had to work with Holmgren and Shurmur.

Hughes was a veteran on the roster game 1. I thought that guaranteed his contract for the year.

I think there's more to it than his contract. If that was the case, Tramon Williams would never have made the team IMO.

We could have 53 players on minimum contracts, and Haslem's wouldn't gain a penny..

What Mac says about the leftover going into the thief's pocket is wrong ... It's simply NOT TRUE ..

WHAT U JUST SAID .. Is just as INNACURATE ... It's simply NOT TRUE!

As long as we establish that mac is wrong, and continues to be wrong.. Then I'm ok with being wrong.

That is F'd up.

Hughes got out played, that's why he is gone. nothing more nothing less..

when we sign players from other teams, we settle for left overs. and when other teams sign our players we are dumb for letting them go...smdh

Well, when a loser is interested in you, it might mean you're a loser. If a winner is interested in you, it might mean you're a winner.

You ever hear that you're only as attractive as the girl you are with. Same logic applies.

If you're rich you get all the attractive girls you want. Same logic applies.

that doesn't make much sense.

How do you know this?




Or......and this happens far more often........when we cut players, they suck no matter who signs them and we are smart for letting them go.

thanks, now we can agree on something

At some point the Patriots cut John Hughes. Now the Buccaneers are signing him.

Soooooo much buzz surrounding him during camp, then crickets. I hope he plays. Sometimes all that is needed is the opportunity.

yeah, hopefully Hamlett decides to be

Just saw Ravens cut Forsett too

Former # Patriots C Bryan Stork worked out for # Browns. They have been checking into available centers.

OL Mike Liedtke is signing to the Cleveland Browns practice squad. Was scheduled to work out for the Jacksonville Jaguars tomorrow.

This is both good and bad.

It means we are desperate to sign anyone with a pulse (Stork has already failed two physicals I believe) because our center situation is in bad shape. That's the bad.

It's good because we are at least thinking about signing a "veteran." I'm glad we aren't just throwing anyone out there and hoping for the best.

All I know is that I hope Erving doesn't see the field again. He compromises the entire line.

Mike Matthews is the hero we need tbqh

Who was the center we had during camp that was on the second team ahead of Matthews? Is he still available?

Yeah he does. Other OL worrying about his calls at the line, wondering if Erving is gonna end up blocking the right guy or let a convoy get after the QB.

I think Erving lost his starting job as long as Greco is healthy.

Garret Garhart...man he blows as well. He's like that Seymour guy was plugged at center last year, just another dud.

Garth Gerhart (Toby's younger brother).

haha I knew it was something around that nature

Not that i am pimping Stork, but I am glad we are looking at options. Reiter played a whale of a game. I watched him on many plays. The kid sealed off, chipped and then went to the second level to seal off on several plays. I was sick when he went down. He looks like our starter for next season.

Cam Irving sucks and don't want to see him ever play for my team again. The guy is a wuss.


After he was drafted I saw him at some event in "skinny" jeans. I don't want to see my lineman on either side wearing skinny jeans. A wide receiver...I can overlook it to a degree....a lineman? LOL. The guy is a punk.

You're on the sauce tonight, right?

I agree with Peen. Reiter certainly looked like an upgrade to me. Erving just doesn't have the physicality to play. Plus, I think he's not confident or nasty like that.

No, not really. Got in late. Why??

No reason. Carry on.

Erving's blocking has been much better, it's his brain farts that are game killers.

We'll see, I am sure we will see him again. I hope you prove right.


I just don't like to see grass stains on my linemans butts.

Well, those brain farts result in him leaving guys totally unblocked and them blowing up plays. I said this earlier, he is seemingly one of the dumbest players I have ever watched. His in-line blocking choices are terrible.

At this point, I'm not at all sure he's an NFL level Olineman let alone a first round pick.

But I do understand what they were doing when they drafted him. They were prepping for the eventual loss of Mack. (tells me they knew he was probably gone back then) I get that and it was a wise move, they just didn't pick wisely
