[Mr. Scot]

Good news (except for whoever's about to be cut to make room)

Just me, or are we getting an earlier start than prior years?

[carpanfan96]

sweet.

[scpanther22]

do we have to cut anybody?

Seems like it...

I think he wil fit in fine but I am still holding out on the notion that he is Hoover's heir apparent.

Not that I don't like the guy. I want him to be a monster in the backfield and help Dubl Trubl get more yards than any other 2 teams in the NFL combined.

I'm just waiting to see him in action, plus I am quite the Hoover fan.

Those are some big shoes to fill, IMHO...

Maybe an attitude change? Might not be a bad thing...

[rayzor]

yeah, earlier start.

i wonder if they are going to try and get all of the draft picks signed before they get a long term deal worked out with peppers to see what kind of jiggling room they have.

[WilkinsonDonnie]

I think CJ wilson or nate salley will be cut. But we are doing well with our signings so far.

[rayzor]

why would anyone have to be cut?

we have room on the roster.

It is a bit earlier, but camp comes later this year too. Normally we start with the low round picks early July usually squeezing in the top pick just as camp starts (except for Beason).

With no first rounder, I guess it shouldn't be difficult to have everyone signed on time.

For Fiammetta, that's good he's signed. It's seems the opinions are about split on his role this year. I'm in the camp of, Yeah, the guys' a beast,but he's got to learn. Those thinking Fiammetta is bouncing Hoover this year is sorely mistaken, IMO.

Nah, they will cut camp fodder signed in the winter before cutting regulars. Especially to sign draft picks. The chances of CJ and Nate making it past the final cut in early Sept. are very high.

I'm glad he signed, I am just so anxious to see how these rooks do this season, I'm hoping to be able to find a way to watch the pre-season games

I don't think he'll bounce hoover this or next season. However I think with his skill sets and speed, that he should be polished enough Talent wise going into this season to take some plays away from Hoover. Which in my book is a good thing, the longer you can keep (one of if not the best blocking fb in the league) fresh the better.
