Glad to see you're both content wasting a roster spot in a hugely competitive league.

Why cut Corral if you're only going to carry 52 players into the season? The jury is definitely out on Fitterer.

Shoulda traded him.

The defence has completely shut them down and we've run the ball at will. TVD has a splint on his throwing hand - they're nursing him through the game.

By homers you mean fans, right?

Not a lot on tonight?! THE U is playing. What more could you possibly want.

A rephrasing of Jimmy Johnson's famous line: "It's about the Jimmy's and Joe's, not the X's and O's". If you have better players than the opposition, especially at this level, it doesn't matter how good their play calling is.

Holding a gun to the head of half the conference? Yay(!)

Agree to disagree.

Do the roots run really deep? Half of the conference wants out.

Sadly he'll turn it around there - he's a monster recruiter, which is 90% of a Head Coach's job. It'll take time for him to flip the roster though.

I'm watching the Gators lose in Utah.

And having the best player in the league at the most important position in sports for 2 decades.

The new LB:

Not carrying 3 QBs is new school.

If he's got any pride he'll go elsewhere.

No he can't.

Got to hope 7 other teams don't want him.

It's the best place for him - he shines close to the line of scrimmage. He's so-so in coverage, so stop matching him up against WRs.

To be fair nothing has changed, talent wise, from the last pre-season game - we just don't have the actual bodies on the roster anymore.

Damn, they released half of Rhule's pet projects. Let's hope they know what they're doing.

Are you talking about Brown or Hubbard? Or Thomas?

It's not a myth, but yes it's been phased out as a common practice. Teams like to carry an extra STs guy now (for reasons that baffle me) rather than a developmental guy at the most important position in all of sports.

I think it's just confirmation that our WR corps sucks. Shenault is a gadget guy who should never line up outside (he can't track a football), Smith sucks and nobody is excited about Wright or Vann. You should always be trying to get better - I expected us to pick up a WR or two from waivers. Obviously they've targeted this guy in particular. I wouldn't be surprised if we go after another.

It's not about playing your third QB it's about developing them. If they don't think Corral is the guy then cut him, but bring in someone they think can be the guy ('the guy' being a young player that can be developed into at least a good backup QB).
