Not to be counterproductive to the point I made earlier, but Fayson was listed as having a left ankle injury the other day.

*Don’t be surprised if somewhere down the line, maybe even after Friday’s preseason opener, we’re talking about a Shaun Roger-Aubrayo Franklin starting interior with Sedrick Ellis coming in on short yardage and given passing downs. That’s not a knock on Ellis; it’s more a nod at the run-stopping ability of Rogers and Franklin.*

I spoke with Franklin a little while he was signing autos yesterday.

I welcomed him to town.

His reply was "Man, thanks. I am happy to be here. I WANT to play with this team".

Sounds like he understands his opportunity to play with a winner.

Shaun Rogers also signed Sat.
Our D-line is MAN-SIZED!

Time for the AA project to come to an end. Too many injuries. I think he reminds the Who Dat's a lot of Joe Horn as far as Body Frame, etc, which is why we still have supported him.

i never wanted him to replace henderson , that was meachums job.i just wanted him to be a no 3 or#4 reciever, better yet just make the f--ing team. now i'll take my licks on AA gave him all the kudos when deserved. he's not built for the nfl looks like. is that what the haters want to hear from me then there it is. and all this praise on henderson in "CAMP" is great he's showing he can be a solid no# 2 reciever like he was drafted to be.

Henderson has had one good season, year before last; he totally disappeared last year...

And I know Arrington has a higher ceiling...

But you know what, if Arrington, like Casillas, can't get right, and if Devery has finally figured things out...

...let the best man win the job, do his part as we follow the Lombardi Brick Road!

At least when I used it, he was who I had in mind.

YO !!!! Adrian , you can't make this club if your in the tub.

Always been high on him making the team, but I will have to agree with y'all. Might be time to let him go, and plug in someone else.
