no tender means you dont think you can get a 7th.. No cobsie on returns next year.?....lol.. 3 years of the regime on the job and you got cobsie still on returns... Just draft Greg little.
Not losing any sleep over this, but in all honesty, I would rather see Cobbs return than Hilliard. Looks like it will be the opposite. Oh well. Just gives us another roster space on offense to bring in a playmaker.
I think you draft a Johnny White, or better yet you don't even draft him you just sign him as a UDFA, and you've replaced Pat Cobbs.
Never looked like he was fully recovered. Shame too, because he's the type of player you need. Pretty versatile and would never make mistakes.
Cobbs was Henning's guy, his pet cat as it were. Just never went for his game, a scat back with no scat, a Special Teams Captain on a terrible special teams unit, wish him well though, would not surprise if he landed in New England to take Sammy Morris' old role.
I thought he was underated until Tony discovered him Therafter he took the third down possesion opportunities away from Ronnie Brown who is a much more talented player. Its not his fault that Tony doesnt know how to evaluate offensive players.Cobbs is at best a change of pace back and a good STs player IMO.Someone will pick him up
Tony didn't want to show too much by playing our best players in the regular season, or by running any of our top secret offense...He was saving it all for the playoffs and Super Bowl *sigh
Not tendering him, doesn't mean we won't resign him. Why the hate for the guy? It's not his fault he was thrown into a role not suited for him. I'd like to see him resigned. He's a great team guy, a Captain, a good STs contributor, and a solid contributor n offense. I think he'll be much better this year given the fact he's two years removed from the knee injury now. Do I want him getting significant carries? No, but he's got a role and he does it well.
I like Cobbs a lot, but his physical ability wasn't great and he didn't have much left as a rusher after his knee injury. He was pretty good as a slot receiver, but it's kind of weird role to be leaving him at, and there are some pretty good 3rd down back options on the market this year. He's a much more touted name, but that's about it. Ronnie Brown can't play as well as Cobbs did split out wide, and nor has he ever come close to some of the big plays receiving Cobbs has in much more limited opportunities. Hell, they tried pretty damn hard to get Brown involved split out wide this year, and it simply did no take.
WOW! I never saw that one coming. What a ballsy move. I can't wait to see what new players the next 60 days bring. This will be the most interesting team to watch during this off-season without a doubt. I feel like a kid at Christmas, I just can't wait!!
