Pretty sure he’s black, not grey.
To your point, it’s a huge advantage in roster construction to get high level CB play from guys on 1st contracts. [Reply]

Remember when idiots freaked out because the assistant DB coach Sam Madison left, and they all thought he was the genius coach and not Merritt? [Reply]

I had him marked down as a walk no matter what until the playoffs last year. He was really up and down but seemed to turn it up the last half of last year. [Reply]

FAU looks lightyears better with the tutelage of Tamba and strength training. [Reply]

We will need to pay some players next season. One's we will want to keep. If we got someone on their rookie contract to step up at Safety, then we can use the money spent on Reid to help pay to sign Creed/Bolton/Trey. [Reply]
