Damn, I was surorised to see a few of these. I was so hoping they would keep Phinisee. Thet cut him and Randolph. Looks like they'e got big hopes for Eddie Drummond. Glad Sippio is still here. Would have rather seen Parker go over Hannon. Very happy that Boomer is still on board. No more Rich Scanlon???

I missed this one before. I was under the impression that Stallings was progressing nicely. Or, at least that's what Will Shields was sounding like.

Yeah but what does Shields know anyway (joking) he is not the football God like CP (another huge joke).

Nor is he an offensive line specialist, as Herm Edwards is.
