I say that at 100 times a day at work.

Why wasn't London Fletcher on the list - he is going to surprise some people and make All-Pro this year.

No, I think Mason was a former winner. He did light up the pre-season - two years in a row. After doing nothing in the regular season, and lighting up the pre-season a second time people were screaming that he just wasn't given an opportunity. After being cut by us, he couldn't latch on with anyone. [I think I have that right].

Anthony Armstrong was kinda in the category a couple years ago but I think he has lost eligibility at this point.

I wonder if Travon Bellamy has a brother ......id be waaay coooler if he did.

Maybe this makes me a bad fan, but I literally looked at these names and went, "who are these guys?"

Not you too D-Rave, that's the whole point. Right now nobody is going to know or care about any of these camp bodies, but by the end of preseason we're all going to have fallen in love with one of these players, only for that player to be inexplicably cut on the last cut date, and then go onto a practice squad career with another team, and be out of football in the next 3-4 years.

lol well then I'm just going to vote for the name I like the most.

Watch out for Brandon Banks offense and Cedric Griffin on defense.

I think we should have an additional poll to determine how many of these names we recognize. That would be entirely more telling. I have heard 3 of their names before. And i'll bet on a running back, Tristan, to shine in the 4th quarter against backups.

Kudos, good sir. I have no words other than :thumb:.

The position they play would surely help this poll. I'd vote for a WR or DB simply because they're the ones who can (flash) make plays. Most if not all of the RBs we'll see aren't qualifiers for this list and the ones who are may not get much garbage time.

Oh I'm sure we'll notice Cedric Griffin's defensive play.

Tristan Davis has played for several NFL teams prior to signing with the Skins. I thought all of these guys were 2012 UDRFAs.

That's what I did, and that's why Lance Lewis; Space Detective has one more vote beside his name.

Note: I am not telling you who to vote for.

No. Davis has bounced around practice squads, totally eligible

[SmootSmack]

So...we can remove Darius Hanks from this list
