Chris Grier obviously plays in one of those fantasy football leagues without a cap on transactions.

I cannot keep track. Going to be hilarious seeing the play by play guys stumbling over these names.

Probably has some familiarity with our new DC

Reaccuring theme seems to be familiarity with coaches and top special teams players for their previous teams.

Hey Coach Flores... here's another guy who is absolutely clueless about our system and just got cut. Whattaya think?

Flores: Do it!

 

[Dolph N.Fan]

Are these guys even making it to the Dolphins facility before they’re cut just a day or two after they’re signed?

 

[hoops]

Must be a special teams add to go along with Lacey.

Always need backers for specials.

Do you plan to likewise criticize other GMs for picking up players from the waiver wire?

POSSIBLY... It would depend on whether or not I suspected the move was a strong one. I think Flores is going out of his way to cut any players who are generally respected within the locker room. I've experienced ...ahem... 'leaders' like this and I think what he is doing is weak and well... cowardly.

I could be wrong, I have been before. Are you positive that your defense of Flores is justified? ...and if so... why?

 

[ATL_PHIN_FAN]

(wry grin) Don't be so defensive. Just trying to find out what you're really about here?
