Yes, he sure didnt last long in Detroit. Pretty much gave him one look like a tryout and they must not have liked what they saw.

That has to be one of the shortest stays for any player in that scenario. I mean....he passed his physical, right? I just can't see a player being so bad that they were cut that quickly even though he was in our organization for a few years.

I don't get how we cut Rush and keep Wilhoite. Makes no sense.

because we're talking back-ups and Wilhoite is versatile. Rush can only rush, he can't defend run and can't cover at all. Also, they feel Rush was only good against other back-ups, and he won't be as successful against 1's. Again, we're talking about back-ups.

Will Redmond just went to IR. Meet the new boss...same as the old boss.


haaa

nah, not throwing Redmond onto this IR heap. he did play pre-season as opposed to flat out knowing he'd IR.

Yes, he passed his physical because trade would not have been completed otherwise like Seattle's trade for McCray who failed his physical. He was in our organization for three years now but spent most of that time rehabbing injuries. He was so bad last year he couldn't even beat out last year's late round picks and was never heard from again. Matt Maicco told me he practiced poorly. Would easily get bull rushed in practice.

the situational pass rush guy is Carradine, Rush wouldn't get in the games unless Carradine gets hurt too. Just something else to consider, not THE reason for cutting Rush.

So do you keep Rush or four games or try to get someone who'll be a back-up all season?

Wilhoite barely made the team himself?!

Anyway, Wilhoite can play both ILB spots, and ST's. Rush is the back-up to the back-up Carradine. When it gets down to the last one or two spots, versatility and ST's are factors.
