Anyone remember him from TC? I sure don't

wonder why bringing Walker back?...Tho I think he is a return guy too tho no?.

 

why was the Roc suspended?  What does that even mean?  Did he try to punch O'Shea?

if this is him then yeah there's a spot somewhere in the first few mins he is doing a return

 

was he the dude who got booted from the the first pre-season game as well...then subsequently cut?

my guess is it was for stealing paycheques most of this season  just jokes...

Thanks Bob.  He must have been reading this thread.

That was Tahaan Goodman.

ah yes....Walker got hurt I think...weren't they really high on his cover skills at camp?...tho they said same with Roc but look how that developed lol

that hair tho...  I'm starting to think Osh has a soft spot for players with crazy do's

Yeah, I am thinking that this is a potential move to bring Lankford out of the lineup and make some room to dress a different receive (Ie Thorpe)

That's kind of what I was thinking too...He could DI and fill two roles, and allow for Thorpe and Flanders to be in line-up...which makes us substantially stronger

Le Thorpe sounds like a southern man in need of some satisfaction

Surprised about Roc Carmichael .Was hoping he was going to figure it out.  Back to the mule rental agency for him.

ya me too.. thought he was turning a corner.

 

tho, maybe he is from the South and wants to go attend to matters before Irma lands?

Roc kept turning those corners until he eventually discovered the exit.

I always found it curious that Roc was said to be filling in nicely at SAM during the pre-season when Leggett was out... yet he was never given that same opportunity in the regular season....

ya he definitely did more 1 step forward, 2 steps back.. I will agree with that

I'm really trying to rack my brain remembering TC. If i remember right there were a lot of people high on A Walker but I'm not sure if it was Brian Walker who's currently on the 1-game IR but has played pretty well for us. 

Walker Jr was cut the day after PS 2 but wasn't there someone that was let go to get a shot down south? I can't remember if this was the case without digging up some old threads

Wasn't Roc Carmichael a lounge singer on The Flintstones?

Brian Walker came here after camp...or right at the end of camp.

Pretty sure it was this Walker JR that they were impressed with and was  kind of a shock he was let go

For those who have not picked up on the clues, Flanders replaced Thorpe at SB not Lankford.

Yes, and this move would potentially work in a shuffle to get Thorpe back in.  It would take more than one move, but the point being that Lankford is receiver depth and if they remove him as KR then they likely find a spot for  someone else.  Meanwhile, if you bring a DB in for KR then you probably remove a depth DB.

yeah he did...but Thorpe still offers more on offence and potentially ST's than Lankford does...that's the issue.

Imagine having Harris, Flanders and Thorpe in certain sets...If the defense is trying to key on one of Flanders or Harris then most likely Thorpe is going to be isolated on one guy and  we all know what he can do with yac and making guys miss, or just breaking a tackle...now imagine him one on one and breaking free in an open filed and not contending with the extra guy or two who are pre-occupied with Harris/Flander... instead of Lankford out there who cant play a part in that scheme and is usually just taking a corner out of the fraccass down a sideline
