Tamba comes off the field Sat....

Scaga · 08-28-2006, 08:05 AM

after making a great play Hicks rushes right over to meet him on the bench. I'm screaming at the TV.... "stay the _uck away from Hicks!" I'm not sure if he was trying to "coach" the rookie, or was asking for advice. Wife is looking at me like I'm crazy, (which is pretty much true). I guess Hicks just wanted to make an appearance on TV when he wasn't out of position?

Anybody else see that?

LOL that's great I thought the same thing. I was like look Hicks is going to teach him how to suck.

I can read lips.

Hicks said: "thanks asshole, there goes my gravy train".

I've always liked Eric Hicks. He's a pro's pro, but his football skills have declined rapidly. I still don't understand why they don't try using Hicks as a DT on obvious passing downs. He doesn't have the speed as a DE anymore, but possibly as a tackle.

He falls down trying to beat the tackle......he'd get plowed in about a second by guards.

Or we should just probably cut him.

And replace him with....?

I love that he's not starting, and as much as I'd like to see him gone, he's still the best option we have as the 1st or 2nd end of the bench. Unless you're a big fan of Shane Burton or Clint Mitchell. Which I'm not. It's a shame Carlos Hall can't stay healthy so we'd see even less of him.

I bet you could find someone cut from another team that could at the very least do what Hicks does and do it a hell of alot cheaper.

Maybe. We'll see. Nobody's been cut yet. For all we know at this point Hicks could be on the list. Maybe they will look outside the organization. Maybe they won't. /shrug

Only point is that right now, I don't see anyone on the roster behind him that makes him look expendable. If you want to start talking theoretically about potential cuts from elsewhere, well, that's a whole 'nother conversation.

I have to agree with this. The sooner we cut loose the frayed Pieces parts of DV's configuration, the better.

It's quite simple, unless Carlos Hall can get, and STAY, healthy, Hicks will be on this roster...

I said the same thing, "Don't listen to him, Tamba!"
