If a dude can rush the passer consistently, the coach isn't going to care if he's out there wearing a pink feather boa and singing showtunes. He just got caught in a numbers game in St. Louis.

I actually think the Saints could be a very good place for him if we were to claim him. He's a lot more developed as a pass rusher than anybody we have behind Galette. He's not an OLB but then again Galette isn't really that either.

And I won't care if his skin is green or if he's wearing a boa either. Doesn't mean I need to hear about every single minute of his day.

Sam should end up on the Cowboys... He could seriously help out that defense

Your comparing apples & oranges their skill set is totally different, Sam is a decent player I do think he can play in the league but at a pro-bowl caliber level...I don't think so this pre-season from him was a lot of effort plays

We are not cutting our present roster to 53. We are cutting as many as needed to pick up other teams cuts until we are at 53.

Plenty of talent going to get released from teams that have tons of depth that we can pick up to narrow the talent gap between starters and relief.

i am shaking my head at some of these moves.

warren? wth hell.
Dixon? one game wonder?

toon is last WR in the pecking order for sure.

i swear blinded by athleticism and pride in draft picks over football players. i do not get it.

90 % of these guys i do not want on the PS.

hitta · 08-30-2014, 04:14 PM

Eh I think Dixon is going to be really good.

lee909 · 08-30-2014, 04:15 PM

Not a issue for us,but im glad too see Preston Parker make the Giants roster.
He did well in the preseason last year and was unlucky to miss out

Wish Sam the best, but his measurables aren't that impressive for the NFL game. One can say he makes plays, though, plus the Rams are freakin' loaded on the D-Line. No way he cracks the D-line rotation here over Walker & Foster and he is too slow for a 3-4 OLB, but he could on a team that is thin on the D-Line. Only IF that team is willing to take the baggage and pub that comes with him.

Micheal Sam...meet Jerry Jones.
