Saying it sounds nice, though.

Same thing as, "We want strong, fast, tough, intelligent football players." Well no ****ing shit. You don't covet the weak, slow, pussy, stupid ones? Sure glad we're looking past those guys.

I would tend to agree with you if it wasn't for the fact that they already cut IIRC 3 players because of off the field issues plus they obviously bypassed better players this weekend that had character\work ethic issues.

I was going to amend my last sentence by saying once we get the team up and making the playoffs\sb runs then I would imagine they would take more gambles on players with questionable character issues.

I agree that the fact that they're in the formative stages of building the program does have relevance. This is a solid point.

Once it's up and running, though, all bets are off.

But if I never hear that "big, tough, fast, etc." line used again, either by someone in the organization or by a poster on here (who is not mocking it, obviously!), I'll be happy.

Totally agree.
