Collie gone, that was quick.

ESPN boston has Austin as been cut. No description of the extent of his knee injury or whether that led to his unemployment.

They have now signed a Laquan Williams who was undrafted 2-3 years ago. Never heard of him.

WOW...who the F is that!! Boyce and KT must have taken huge steps back if we keep bringing guys in.

 

[Drawmeomg]

Not necessarily. KT could be the next guy up for the next game; they still want to have a 5th guy on the depth chart.

Boyce can't really take a step back from "Non-producing developmental player who we pray might eventually do SOMETHING but probably won't," of course.

 

[JDM]

Boyce was never looked at as a potential impact player this year.

 

[Drawmeomg]

FWIW Williams is a very good special teamer, particularly in coverage. I assume that's why they got him - to help their coverage units, not to play WR for them.

That's my thought as well.

Yup, just read that as well, he has like 4 receptions in 2 years.
Which is actually like 1000% more than Slater...

 

[MrMoJoRisin63]

So there was not a SS available?

 

[JDM]

Why do we need one?

 

[Drawmeomg]

We don't have one unless you're counting Tavon Wilson. Double FS is fine most of the time, but their run defense is a serious problem.

Why is Kerry Rhodes still a free agent?

 

[JDM]

Is it worth a roster spot for a short term fill in?

There are just too many injuries to even think of replacing everyone off the street.

 

[Drawmeomg]

If there wasn't such a good fill in available, I'd say no, but they'd be getting a quality player who could help them down the stretch in a reserve role.

 

[JDM]

Rhodes may be someone I could get behind. I don't know why he isn't on a roster. But at the cost of a young guy we like I don't do it.

It comes down to injuries brutalizing us and seriously limiting our flexibility.

 

[Drawmeomg]

Asomugha came free. I think I've expressed before that I think he's a bad investment at this point... but I'd still be excited if we signed him.

 

[MrMoJoRisin63]

Why do we need one?

Why do we need another WR?

 

[xtremepc]

I dont think they signed him to catch the ball more to the fact it was for special teams help since we seem to be one guy away from just letting the other team score on special teams.

Right now our special teams coverage seems to be "kick the crap out of the ball so they don't try a return"

 

[Drawmeomg]

And now Williams is being sued for assaulting a bouncer. Wonder how long he lasts...

...and we have an answer! Cut today.

So is that being fired? or is that quitting?
