cut them both

Hard for me to get too upset over ToothPink.  Brown and Lewis will be an improvement.

Can't say Buck surprises me, unfortunately.  Makes the Westbrook holdout loom large, doesn't it?
Wonder if Dorsey has any fall plans......

no fear, Reggie Brown is the 2nd coming of Jerry Rice.

And so it begins...

Pinkston: meh
Buck: duh

Can we please just accept the fact that not only had Buck been subpar at many of the tasks that he has been assigned to on the field, but his knees are garbage. Cut him and lets never mention his name again, mm kay?

Farg, farg, farg...

And it figures the day I don't go something happens. Damn! Buck was looking so good too.

 It doesnt say how serious CBUCK's knee injury is, could be something small.

not the point. Right now, this leaves a hold out in Westbrook and Moats as our RBs....with Mahe and Perry as backups (if Buck is badly hurt, it could be nothing). I'm not too worried about Pinkston, we're fine with Brown and Lewis backing up TO. If he is gone for a long time, who would you have as the 4th WR?

And in all honesty, I hope Pinkston isn't that badly hurt, but if he is and it gets Brown on the field sooner rather than later I won't be srying myself to sleep at night.

Well, since McMullen seems to be dead set on proving his worthlessness, Jenkins probably deserves a look. He tore up good competition in college and as a fifth receiver may have some value. Or Maybe this Redd kid. Who knows, either way, I don't like being down to Moats and STILL not having any sort of inside runner, but anyone who is surprised by a Buckhalter injury at this point is still living in the first half of the 2002 NFCCG.
