Heyer is a professional, he could have -- and should have -- played much better than what he did. Vrabel beat him at least three of four times with a straight line to Campbell.

If this makes sense now, then it made sense after the first sunday game, when contracts weren't guaranteed for the season.

If they thought our younguns would be good enough, then now they should have the cahonas to stay with them.

If they didn't and hoped that Samuels would last longer into the year than that was poor planning for an expected injury. Now they bring LJ in and he has to get conditioned.

Yes I am happy he is here, but the way he got here was poorly handled

Levi is five years younger than Runyan

Wasn't Runyan basically trying to figure out whether he was able to play health-wise?

Wasn't he drafted by the Cards a few years ago?

Ahh...right, right.

Well, who the hell is this guy!? lol

If anything, this is a clear sign that Samuels is going on the IR. Otherwise, why else sign Jones today?

Not at LT.

And if Jones isn't any better than Heyer, we really have problems.

I think we do. Here's a funny article from back in August.

So you don't think he's an upgrade over Heyer at LT?

I don't understand how picking up Jones is not better than going with the status quo.

Why the hell did we cut a RB just to sign another, ugh

According to Jim Zorn, LT is his "natural" position.
