Finally some good news. Know the only piece left to deal with is Howard.

Hey Kool - if we can\'t sign any players b/c of Howard, how do we keep signing players?

I like this pickup a lot, so long as it doesn\'t stop Stecker from seeing the field more often in the regular set. He\'s a good change of pace back.

I think I posted earlier this week that Antowain Smith would be signed.

Let me pat myself on the back...

Gerry V reported earlier this week that Antowain Smith would be signed by the end of this week. And now he\'s reporting Ashley Ambrose has just been released.

How much cap room do we get with Ashley\'s release?

That is why we released Ambrose, to sign A Smith. If we dont deal Howard we will struggle to sign our rookies and everyone can forget about extensions!!!!!

i dont think this is a good pick up, AS sux (another washed up 3rd). Prob got hopeing he\'d help out with the locker room more then anything else.

natedog im not with you i like the pick up. hes a good fill in. i dont think he is a starter all year but i like it. he can still run. we still have stecker also. so i think its a pretty nice backfield. remember some years back when we had like 45 year old terry allen that one year. i think we signed him half way through the year the one year. that was pretty bad

natedogg02 · 04-02-2005, 04:33 PM

Maybe he will be good as a number 2. I am hopefull.
The more i think about it maybe he will be a good backup.
Him and Stecker should be able to equall a Deuce if he goes down. (again i am hopefull)

spkb25 · 04-02-2005, 04:41 PM

well thats all we can do is hope. first we have to hope deuce doesnt get hurt. then if he does only for a couple of games. we need the guy on the field for sure
