First, I'm surprised we cut Biddle. He looked like he could have been a good receiver and I think we should have kept him over Horn.

I guess Manuel's our new starting safety once he learns the playbook and if he isn't then he's not very good because it shouldn't take much to beat out Salley and Deke Cooper

Wesley was a good special teamer when he was here. Glad to see him back

Don't know anything about the 3 others we signed but I can't believe we put Gaines on IR. He couldn't catch worth a damn but he was such a good blocker it was like we had a 6th offensive lineman out there. Guess he just doesn't fit Davidson's new offense that actually uses the TE.

Butler was another one of our busted draft picks. I would really like to know what our scouting department was doing the 2 years before this one. '05 and '06 were just horrible

I liked Moore. He is a long term project, but had a very good preseason for a UDFA QB
