    I think everyone is forgetting Mularkey's love for Douglas. Although I do NOT think he is good enough to make the 53 it will not shock me if he does. Mularkey falls for guys who offer nothing like McCluster & keeps them around longer than they should be. I don't like the idea, but will not be shocked if Douglas makes the team.

    Today Mularkey said, "He is invaluable to that WR room." When asked about Douglas. This is exactly the kind of thing he used to say about guys like McCluster. Although I believe there are better/younger players in the team; it won't shock me if he makes it.

    If people are picking Mcbride/Sharpe then no reason Douglas can't make the final squad

    After the top 4 it's a really close battle

    I think since JRob has been here you can look at two things. If you're not pulling your weight and make a lot of money, you're gonna be asked to take a pay cut or you'll be released. Ask a certain vet cb about that before last season.

    Taking a paycut just means you get to stay and COMPETE! JRob doesn't care if you took a paycut...that's what he had to do to keep fighting for his job. Now it's only about whether he makes it or not...not whether it will look bad!

    The bigger points are accountability and competition!!! Two of the best things about JRob!!!

    Agreed, but I haven't seen anyone take that spot 'over' and since there is no cut down til after the final pre-season game, he has a chance to turn it around. I would say signing Sims may be another negative sign though.

    If they are close and you already have vet leadership, why would you take Douglas when McBride and Sharpe may have higher upside? After Mularkey's comments today, it will be difficult to believe Mularkey will let JRob cut Douglas over the other two so how Weems works out will be interesting to watch. We'll see how these wr's play vs the Panthers Sat!

    I don't believe our #3 back is currently on the roster.

    Fluellen might have earned himself a roster spot with his performance against the Panthers...the biggest thing he did was show that he can make plays on the coverage unit.

    I think that we might just keep 3 RBs on the 53 man roster this yr. Muhammed has not shown me enough to warrant keeping him. Put him on the practice squad.

    The special team tackle locked his spot as the 3rd running back. He seems like a good runner but per Mularky he needs much improvement as a blocker.

    Of course we're keeping 3 RBs. We're a run first team... could even keep 4
