vincent vs. lamont

Lamont Thompson made 3 pretty big tackles today, I remember he broke up a long pass that was in the recievers hands and LT popped him, and he made two good stops on the 1 at the goal line...

 

Those were his first 3 big tackles of the year... About time... to cut him loose

 

He'll be gone in 2007

 

Lamont should be cut, but he wrapped up jones-drew in his tackles quite well at times yesterday...

I've heard that Fuller is a pretty smart guy, quite knowledgeable of the game, so the coaches like him quite a lot

 

hang on a damn sec
at least the guy has shown somebody something enough to be in the starting rotation - considering we still have Donnie Nickey, you'd have to consider that LT3 could be retained for depth
unless you think cutting LT3 and retaining Nickey makes sense

I say we keep him - bench him - let some rooks get some looks - and see how he does in the preseason next year. if he is to be cut, he should be one of the last ones to go

 

He was signed last year for 3 years. Unless he's a massive earner (which he's not) or there was some secret option in there which means we have to pay $5mill to keep him.. he'll be staying with us.

 

No, we find a replacement in the draft or FA. One OK game doesn't make him a necessary part of the team. He has ZERO coverage skills and usually doesn't wrap up on his tackles...

 

so if you cut both him and Nickey then you leave yourself with 3 guys who have only been in the system a year
if he's under contract ,he might as well be retained for depth

 

He got a roster bonus last Spring, which put in motion, more years on his contract. With the Titans on a winning streak, plenty of cap room, why would Floyd want to let a guy go who is familiar with the system and does adequate work? They already suffered the purge year, why go through that again? I'm sure that Floyd will look for someone to upgrade that position, but keep Lamont to add quality depth at the position.
