i have to agree with most of you on this forum. i say ricky can take the work. after all he had monster yardage at texas, so he is a horse, that a team could ride for a loooong time.
as far as bates, at least a good defensive coordinator won't count against the cap.
and i agree, we won't miss the first round pick. when you pick 32nd, all the known commodities are already taken, and all that are left is the diamonds in the rough (chambers, mcmichael, marino, etc.).
so free ricky, and set the team free.
and finally, 32yrfinfan, i hope we can fling the monkey all the way back to ny city, or at least new jersey, but let them bounce a few times on the way, just to inflict a little more humiliation on them.
