Miller is an intriguing signing, before he tore his ACL two years ago he was the Texans bell cow & he was a good running back in Miami too. He and Gibby are a lot a like in that Miller is also a good receiver. 
 

Miller had 3 years over 800 yards rushing in Houston and then he tore his ACL in the playoffs I think or in one of the last games of the 2018 season and missed the 2019 season.

There’s definitely potential there for him to be a solid back up for Gibby and to take some snaps off his hands. I would have to still think at this post that McKissic is still going to be a main focal point of our receiving game & change of pace. Also, I have to imagine that Barber still has a role as a special teams star & short yardage specialist but, Gibby can certainly be a short yardage back too so, maybe Barber is expendable.

I know we say this every year but we still have Bryce Love too. I’m not going to make any predictions but, if Love is healthy he probably makes the team over Miller I would think but that’s a huge question mark.

I agree with all of this. I think it’s for sure a Gibson insurance. Also Miller is better then Barber. And agree about Bryce and I hope for that guy he can get that knee right. I just doubt it at this point and it’s sad because that guy really was a special prospect.

Why in the world would you move on from Sundberg? We haven’t had to worry about a bad snap in like 10 years. Someone from Carolina must need a job. 

Ironically Carolina was Sundberg’s first team. Last year he made 1.2m. He broke the bank I guess. He’s 33 but performed very well. You shake your head at some of the moves they make. Some make sense but most make you wonder what are they thinking.

Maybe he lost something on his fastball. They do monitor those things . He's been steady for years .

This is the answer. Let that joker play for someone else. In addition to apparently being difficult to deal with, he’s got to be the most penalized player in the NFL. 

In the last 2 seasons, he’s played 27 games and somehow been flagged for 25 penalties (for over 250 yards). He had 12 penalties last year in 11 games — Fuller, Darby, and Moreland combined for 13 penalties in 46 games. 

If you’re desperate for an affordable outside CB who will stick his nose in there and compete — and admittedly win a lot of reps for you — he’s a guy you could look to. But we have two outside CBs that we’re paying big money to, and we also believe our slot CB would be better outside than in. We’re not his huckleberry. 

Hell yeah!

No.

I think he is. I get we had some other great ones but TWill is the best overall package. Jake was powerful and great for our run first/play action offense of the 80s. Jim Lachey, Samuel & TWill had it all. Talent wise & how he plays the game I’d go with Trent.

My best guess is he’ll be 34 in July. They’d probably like to get someone younger who’s more athletic to get down and cover punts. I don’t like not re-signing Nick, this could backfire but, his age would be my guess as to why they’re moving on.

I’m going to keep it real. I know LS has nothing to do with returners. But our returners regularly would fair catch inside the 10 and not let the ball go. They never fair caught when guys were down in coverage and our kicker looked like Tin Cup at the tee with the shanks and almost looked like we were about to go into another kicker search cycle. Case I’m making is getting rid of the guy we had who’s been a beast for the clown who made what i saw one of the worse special teams groups I can remember in recent memory. I mean the decisions last year and the way the kicker and kickoffs were handled it looked like a Joe Berry defense or a Zorn coached team.

to the original point before that rant though. I have 0 faith in this not backfiring. I’m sure we’re about to cut Tress way as well with the faith I have on that side right now

the regular season leader in tackles for a LS was 5. God, I hope not.

Meh. I'd still go with Samuels over him.
