Ron says Marty made some "blunt" comments about the roster

[jfra78]

My initial thought was that maybe a couple bottom of the roster guys.  Funchess at TE might be a good move if he was a Sophomore in college but at this point I dont know.  Ed Dickson to the position of ticket-taker would be a nice transition I could get on board with.

C'mon Dickson could at least be one of those security guys that have to stand on the field and face the crowd the whole time, not looking at the game.

The "hybrid" position is a new trend in the NFL and it's been pretty successful so far.

Abandoning that in favor of sticking with old position designations is not necessarily a good move.

I see why this is enticing but on the surface I don't like this.  As I recall Fox fugged with TD early moving him between S and LB and IMO it hampered his progression.  Shaq is a dynamic LB now that just needs to get more snaps.  He will naturally get there as Davis transitions to retirement. 

I know... having him switch isn't ideal but if Davis is planning on staying for 2-3 more years...

Shaq is way too talented to see anything other than full time snaps

Is there any realistic chance that Hurndawg brings back Barnidge to replace Dickson?

I mean, it'd be a great move and would go over extremely well with our fanbase...which Hurney needs right now.

Only if Barnidge gives up on being a starter...

 

 

 

...or he gets offered ridiculous money for a backup.

Funchess is s superstar on the level of Jerry Rice compared to the WR's Hurney drafted over the years.

Funchess is Dwayne Jarrett with a MVP QB.

 Imagine Funchess numbers if he had post Tommy John Delhomme throwing to him. He probably wouldn't even crack 100 yards in a season

Yeah that can't be said yet. I really want to like Funchess but thats really not close to true....hopefully it will be!

Well you have to give the guy at least 3 full seasons before you can honestly and accurately judge him. Too many fans get pissed when every draft pick doesn't make the pro bowl within two years. A lot of players have to take their lumps and find their niche.

I actually can see funch play TE. He would be an instant upgrade over dickson

So you're telling me there is a chance.

Ron's quote about G-man getting the boot that stuck with me:

“It does get everyone’s attention, but let’s be honest, you’re always on notice in the NFL,” said Rivera. “The thing we all have to understand is that we’re in a production-based business. We’re here to produce. And at the end of the day, if you’re not producing, things have to happen.”

LOL.  knew it was only a matter of time before Barnidge's name came up again on the Huddle!  But actually I wouldn't mind bringing him in to compete.

An unfortunate one.

I'd be okay with Barnidge coming back but probably not for the money he's going to want.

Funchess is the same damn player he was at Michigan!!! 

He's soft and it's always "what could be" with him. Players like that don't often change. There isn't a magic switch, either you have it or you don't.
