I would think that in 5 years of drafting by Ted, we wouldn't have to be digging through the scrap heaps for players.

This is all a number of TT-nonfans ask for, to bring in some players whose name stands 10 feet taller than their current performance. Ahman Green is being asked to play a role in the 3-man RB rotation. That is it. It's easy to find nails when the glasses you have on have nails painted on the lenses.

If these guys are the only 4 options, Wynn and Jackson can't stay healthy so I have to pick Green.
The point is, that if Ted was good or even average at his job, it shouldn't come to this stage.

Yeah, nobody but Ted signs street free agents to replace injured backups.

Requirements to fill out the roster mid-season due to injuries are a completely separate issue.

Oh really, explain that to me please.
Why do we have a taxi squad (practice squad to you youngsters)?

Are the guys that Ted drafted that are on there not good enough to play ( Lumpkin for example)?

Simply put, Thompson's and companies oversights this offseason have no real bearing towards this midseason pick up to bolster a spot.

We were not able to find suitable players at the trade deadline, not all that falls on Ted and companies shoes either.

So I am pissed off at the shape of our offensive line.. the rest I can deal with in terms of roster depth. I might not agree with all, cough safety cough, but it is what it is. We didn't have world class talent that was cut loose.. maybe better than we had.

But the choices made in terms of offensive line depth behind the starting five was a freaking joke.. and IMO, after 5 years is worthy of much bitching and maybe even placing heat under someones freaking chair.

But none of that has anything to do with Ahman Green and the role he is going to play.. 3rd on the depth chart.. I doubt we there is anyone availble the gives us a better chance than Grant at this point.. the offseason.. then start beating Ted silly.

If Lang can solve the depth issue at left tackle.. and Tauscher comes through at the right.. we have at least suitable depth.. I doubt there is anyone available post deadline and Jones and MacIntosh signing that give us better options. If Clifton can stay available that is..

This tandem (Ted, Campen, and MM) have taken some of my passion for the 09' season away.. and that there is a sad state of affairs.

So your issue is, why didn't we bring Lumpkin up? Or why is Lumpkin on the PS and not Ahman Green, if Green is our best option at this point in time to fill in?
I think those questions answer themselves, actually, with a little dose of common sense.

Practice squads could also be considered "scrap heaps", seeing as any team has the ability to take a player from them and put them on their roster.

Nice avatar buddy.


Hilarious!



Cooooooooooool guy!

:whipitgood: :whipitgood: :whipitgood:

Is Ahman Green our best option?
Apparently.
A little common sense tells you Green is not eligible for the practice squad so why pose the question.
Practice squads could be considered the 'scrap heap" except that they are young players whom you considered good enough to not release outright as they may be future players.
