I thought we weren't interested?

Can't stand today's offense obsessed mind-frame with these **** kids. It's becoming harder and harder to find kids to play defense.
Bro you're 6'1" 200+ pounds. You might be an elite CB/DB prospect but you wanna play a position that's a dime-a-dozen and not even valued in today's game. Most teams are RB by comity these days, unless they have someone who's special like Henry. RB's are barely going in the first round anymore.

We have the same freakin' problem in high school. We have 37 WR's and RB's...and no **** DB's.

Sorry, I'm just venting.

And it’s common knowledge about RBs in the league. Baffling why you wouldn’t want to play CB.

I'm honestly surprised his big bro doesn't bring the wood on being an RB at this point. He has 10x the shot at the league as a CB.
 
Fredo broke my heart —insert godfather gif— when we needed him and he had every reason to pick us.
IMO do not need now.

Why is that? Why aren't some of the good-great athletes realizing there is playing time and $$$ to be made in becoming an assassin DB.

What aren't they getting in their heads??

my uninformed guess? ball in their hands sexier position in terms of allure and fame. what they don't know is that people will love you like they love X if you snag 10 ints
 
The only way this makes sense is if Burns decides to transfer. 6 RB's is ideal, 5 is adequate, 4 you're an injury away from being razor thin.
 
I just don't see how Manny can justify taking a transfer RB with the limited spots and all of the other holes on this team, particularly the lack of holes our O line makes and the GAPING holes our defense makes.

can he catch? play him at the **** slot and get pope and wiggins off the field. even if we throw him screens and slants it's better than our current WR's

I do agree a bit with that. Can't be any worse than those 2.

It's a mentality thing. Defense is too tough, especially Corner. You gotta be on an island, pressure is on you not to get beat, you gotta tackle, etc etc etc. You barely get to touch the ball unless you attack/pick it. At RB you get to touch the ball all the time, if things don't work out you can just blame your blocking, etc.

Yea, no thanks on that one. Good numbers at running back, I believe what we have is better than he is. Waited too long

look no further than fins fans -- we had the best secondary in the sport this year with jones Rowe and Howard, but everyone will point out the times they're beat even if its rare.
