    They waived Turner again leaving only 3 healthy receivers. They also signed Jordan White back to the practice squad and waived Donnie Fletcher. I see nothing goiod in these moves to help in the short term...nothing.

    That's exactly what we need....ANOTHER bowling ball, bruising type of RB. McKnight is the lone "Quick" RB we have.

    Powell/Greene/Connor/Hilliard/Grimes as our "Bowling Ball" RBs. I don't get this obsession with this type of runner on this team. Greene or Powell and Connor should be more than enough to get a brute force style of running....the hell we need to have 3(Or 4 if Grimes stays) of these types on the team?

    So we sign a FB because our current FB is hurt, yet you don't see how these moves help the team in the short term? You might be beyond help. You just don't like this franchise.

    Considering Turner dropped the pass he got this past Sunday and how bad he's been, the team might just be better off without him moving forward.

    Kerley/Hill(If he plays)/Schillens/Gates I guess is good enough?

    I think the Terminator is either going to be cut or put on IR.

    That makes enough sense...I just want some kind of a quick/agile RB.

    Tebow's another slow but strong runner....I don't get this analysis and obsession.

    I'd like to see Powell & Grimes take the bulk of the rushes in upcoming weeks, we know what we have (don't have) with Greene.

    Was begging for Grimes to play this last game.....Greene offers up nothing at this point and is a FA to be.

    HOU knows what Grimes can or cannot do so its a tough spot to put him in.

    They used Tebow at FB last week and he did fine..since they don't seem to use him anywhere else so then the answer is yeah, I don't see a need to sign another one.

    Pretty much. We have 6 mil but that can be carried over and used on next year's cap where we have a full blown disaster so I don't think they are anxious to spend it now.

    Our bowling ball RBs seem to go down like bowling pins.

    Quite honestly the third best signing of the season behind LaRon Landry and Yeremiah Bell. Hilliard's an upgrade at FB over Mr. One Hit Wonder.

    Grimes is smaller than McKnight, just FYI.

    Yes, all three of them will let us know exactly what we have in Sanchez. No more bullshit from the FO.

    Nice, our #1 WR goes down so we cut a WR that Sanchez is familiar with and sign an RB that likely wont ever produce here.
