We waived DT Mister Cobble, P Steven Clark, and Waived/injured John Youboty

Kind of sucked when I posted his injury 2 days ago I knew this was the end of the guy I had as the front runner. As for Cobble wasnt expecting much we dont usually use NT's and because of the altitude guys with that much weight tend to struggle but it would be nice to see a big guy they can throw in on 3-4 sets

We waived DT Mister Cobble, P Steven Clark, and Waived/injured John Youboty

Also signed 3 players

Greg Hardin - WR
Charles Mitchell - Safety
Chase Vaughn - Linebacker

Hardin started 39 of 42 career games at the University of North Dakota, totaling 221 receptions for 3,583 yards and 32 touchdowns.

Mitchell, a second-year player who was waived by the Broncos last week before being brought back on a tryout basis during last weekend's rookie minicamp, was originally selected by the Falcons in the sixth round of the 2012 NFL Draft.

Vaughn is an NFL rookie who has competed in the Arena Football League, United Football League, Canadian Football League and Indoor Football League. Colorado State-Pueblo's all-time sacks leader was also a tryout player during last weekend's rookie minicamp.

Keeping an eye on Hardin. Found this.

Not a lot I can find on the guy but this vid is impressive.

Love the way he went up and fought for that one catch.

At about the 1:30 mark? Ya. That was extremely impressive. As mentioned in the video, the guy he jumped over is a 6'5 corner. Probably my favorite part of the whole thing.

4.68/40 speed

TD ran a 4.72 at his combine. Yea he sucked.

Even NFL scouts are "Maddenized". They get too caught up in the numbers at the combine and put too little weight on the game film. Some guys play outside of their measurables. TD certainly did. Have no idea if Bibbs can or not. Would be an awesome story if he could.

Good point. There are 40 times under a dome, in a straight line wearing Under Armour, and there is field speed in helmet and pads on a field with other players. The only times I can think of in a game when straight line speed for 40 yards matters is covering a kickoff, or running/covering a go route. :2cents:

As a backup RB odds are he will never do the latter and somewhat better odds of the former.

Ill always love TD's Special Teams hit in Japan on kickoff coverage. Who would have thought....
