Life's tough when you're going up against a special teams DEMON.
Hopefully they can sort it out during preseason and training camp. I remember last year that the second our second and third stringers came out last year, we got DESTROYED. Hopefully, we'll see some actual competition.

You gotta root for the Ade, he's a Skins draftee & has put some effort into making the team every year. I would love to see him vault up the depth chart.
Butler might be a hard decision for the coaches if he's reasonably healthy. They may be tempted to evaluate him based on the hope that he's still recovering & will gain form as the season goes. With all that competition, Macklin is no shoe-in either & he only signed a 1 yr. deal.
I don't know about Evans, he seems a serviceable depth guy, but looked a lot better in 04. I would rather see Hickman or another rookie unknown take his spot & provide a speed rush off the bench.

very good article. but i see Joey S. staying. hopefully the depth will keep him fresh, and injury free. and i see Ade making it. at least i hope. i think he has done what the skins have ask of him

I think you tell Ade, Macklin, and Butler that they're competing for two jobs and see who plays the best all around in camp and preseason

Everybody loves Ade until he lines up at corner -- then we get all white-knuckled and take a big swig of whichever alcoholic beverage we can find.
And I don't really know anything about Macklin, but even with the injury history, Butler seems to be a notch above him.

No doubt. If it were just on cornerback play, Ade would be a goner. Those zero net yard punt returns he delivers up are strong in his favor, though. Remember the hit he had against Carolina? Perectly timed. He couldn't have done it any better.
Ade's play at corner has definitely improved over the years to where he's a serviceable dime guy.
I agree, I used to use the "Ade" as a local joke, but dude has improved and is a TEAMER

Or how about the hit he had a couple of years ago against Arizona? Everyone says Antonio Brown won that game and propelled us to the playoffs. Perhaps, but Ade's hit on Fitzgerald was huge. He "Jimohbilized" him (that's my new word :) )

That's a damn good word. T-shirts to follow.
