Moral to the story, NFCCG losses blow.

You brought up some scars in a humorous manner and I just thought this was a great way to express my emotions in a similar way. I meant no offense!

Good as in decent/serviceable. He can make a play every now and then.

You forgot Darrin Nelson's great hands on 4th down, at the goal line, in the 1987 NFCCG. :)

Mildly surprised that Babatunde didn't get a plane ticket home to Poland. I think he only played one play in pre-season, and he was called for holding.

And Zimmer chewed him a new one as he walked back to the sidelines.

I wonder if we have seen the last of Robinson? Then again, as we saw under Frasier, it always pays to have quality backups in the Secondary.

The Bears just cut Tim Jennings (2 time Pro bowler) he is 31 years old but IMO miles and miles better than Robinson. Are you reading this Ricky :lol:

I think Jennings is better than most of the guys we have but I don't think we sign him, I wish we would to be honest.
He is good against the run and finds ways to pick the ball. Our brain trust wants to develop guys their way.. They
don't want older players for the most part.

I still think Munnerlyn will be fine. I wouldn't complain about Jennings, but I don't see it as a dire need at this point. I can see another team paying him more than we would anyway.

Yeah I am not a big Captain fan, to be honest. I would rather the spot go to Prater or Harris and see them develop, much more. For every good thing
Capt does, he turns around and gets a horrible penalty ,or gives up a big play, at a really bad time, IMO.

He has made some bad plays at some bad times but with Newman and Waynes both capable of playing the slot as well, I think we will be fine there. I think we will see a big improvement in Linval Joseph and Munnerlyn this year simply because they have another year in the system and are more conscious of their roles and what Zimmer wants
