Quote:We said the exact same thing when Gene came in and gutted the Coughlin era players too.  Every GM comes in and guts the roster, what's impressive about what Caldwell has done?

 

I'm reserving my praise of Caldwell until his players have actually accomplished something.  Anybody on this message board could buy an ESPN insider subscription and draft/sign a team that wins 4 games.  Cutting 10 starters and then being praised because you added 10 starters is kind of a silly to me until I see that those 10 starters are better.

 

Monroe > Joekel (all 10 minutes that we've seen)

Bradfield = Joekel/Paztor

Whoever or fullback was = whoever our fullback was

Safety by comittee = Cyprian

Cox and old man Mathis > Ball and Gratz

Daryl Smith > Geno Hayes

Knighton/Alualu = Marks and Miller

 

Other than at 2nd DT (who was our starting DE last year), has anything really improved rosterwise from Gene?  I'm hopeful that the new guys work out this year, but nobody can say for certain, so I'm leaving the 2014 class out.

 

I do like the Bradley hire though.  He's the heart and soul of this team.  Badley >>>>>>>>>>> Mularkey
