2013 Practice Squad

Or Posey, from the little I saw of him I liked a lot.

 

Glad we kept Mcnutt and Tyms

 

Is Robinson even practice squad eligible? I know he played games for Denver in 2010-11. That might explain it. If he is practice squad eligible, then I'd chalk it up to another instance of Miami taking a younger guy over an older one.

 

I have watched Weaver live, being a graduate of Southern MS. He is not as athletic as a guy like Yeatman. But he did play extremely well in Larry Fedora's offense, and protected Austin Davis well. He was invited to the combine if I am not mistaken.

 

My understanding is that players cannot be signed to a practice squad contract until the waiver period has officially ended. My guess is that after we cut Francis, the Patriots contacted him and informed him they'd like to add him to their PS if he cleared waivers. Miami also did the same, and when he probably told New England "thanks, but no thanks", the Patriots probably then decided to use a waiver claim and stick him on the active roster for at least a few weeks (and with the Bills and Jets on their schedule for those first two weeks they probably could have afforded to roster the both of us also). The Dolphins probably assumed Francis would be safely on their practice squad and figured they'd get his signature on the contract at some point in the day, perhaps right after the meeting.

 

Agreed, but we kept two of the LBs I wanted, so I can fall back on that at least.

 

well this is certainly the stance phinsational has taken from day 1....which makes it interesting that he fistbumped Stitches post stating Ireland was in charge in.....2008.

 

USM still has a football team?

 

Booo!

 

Rock bottom right now. That game against Texas St. on Saturday I attended and gave up watching my other school Georgia get beat by Clemson. Tough Saturday all around. The ghost of Ellis Johnson prevailed at the Rock. I am really pulling against Auburn this year (Ellis is the defensive coordinator). And I would be pulling against them anyway given I am a Georgia graduate as well.

 

Go ahead and kick us while we are down. USM had as good a record as any team in the country over the last 20 plus years. We will rise to the top.

 

I cannot understand the attraction to Brenner. Did anyone notice him do anything well as an OL during the preseason? He looked like he was playing on roller skates to me.

 

Burden was cut in the first round of cuts wasn't he?

 

I was booing him because he put down USM, whom I like.

 

I watched him pretty closely, and I saw the same, roller skates is the perfect description..let him be someone else's problem

 

Lol... I work close to USM, and some of my staff and peers are Alumni. Not that there's anything (really) wrong with that... plus they're sort of trapped between Alabama and LSU geographically, so they're soft targets.

BTW, what (polar SEC) obscure football conference consisting of lower rung university teams are they playing in now? I'm sure you'll rise to the top of it.

 

Sorry Stitches. I misread your post. Much appreciated!

 

Where did you go to school? I am guessing not USM. Hattiesburg is an unique situation. Take State and Ole Miss out of Starkville and Oxford and those towns don't make it. But I have always believed Hattiesburg thinks it can live without USM. I have never liked that attitude in the Hub city. When I went to school there years ago I heard in class that USM was initially intended to be in Laurel. It was a teacher's college in those days (turn of century 1900). By the way I am an alumni from Georgia as well. I understand the SEC arrogance.

 

The only time he stood out to me was when he was getting pushed 6 yards deep. Look at the play against the Saints where Devlin threw the interception down in the redzone, Brenner gets pushed right back into Devlin's face.

Also stunned that the Pats claimed Barker, he was every bit as bad. I can't ever recall seeing an interior lineman being physically ran over, it would have been funny if he wasn't playing for us at the time.

 

Or a below avg third QB that will never see the field. LOL. Way to go, FO. Keep Devlin around and lose Francis. Ridiculous.

 

That we could have kept Martin and Francis if we had only kept two QBs...

 

Yep. This was a great thing for AJ Francis. If he can stick with them (and he should), he's guaranteed to be in the playoffs. With us, nothing is guaranteed.

 

Maybe you could honk a horn before you derail a thread, give some of us time to get out of the way. I dunno, maybe wear a bell. You need something, because your rhetoric truck has no breaks and you appear to be blindfolded.

 

Heck, if we want a 3rd QB, I'd cut Devlin and sign Tyler Wilson. I liked him at Arkansas, cannot believe Raiders cut him so soon. Most of the teams with a top QB though, only carry 2 QBs. Saints, Packers, Patriots, Colts, Ravens, Falcons, Panthers, Bears, Seahawks, Rams, all have only one backup.
Devlin is nothing special to me. Philbin seems to really like him though and I'd be this was his call to keep Devlin.

 

The thread was already derailed though by posts about which college in Mississip a few of our posters went to or are loyal to.

 

Our defensive line WAS deep.

I don't think it's deep anymore. Having Odrick, Starks and Soliai to rotate at the two defensive tackle spots is nice, but the Dolphins used to have a #4 and #5 in addition to the #3. Now they don't. They just have the high quality #3, and he's a free agent after this year.

 

Sorry you think my comments are comical Rocky, but there is a lot of truth in what I say.

 

if taylor and davis are back healthy, maybe he gets resigned
