    loser:
    Panther DB Charles Godfrey. He got the ax after the Packers game:

    Not quite the same as getting coaches fired like the Packers did a couple of years ago, but still a sign of an impressive performance.
    Fire Murphy, Gute, MLF, Barry, Senavich, etc!

    Sounds like Nick Perry might be finding his niche. Not exactly an every-down All Pro, but maybe an important role as a designated pass rusher, maybe a run stopper. I wonder if he can cover anyone.

    Probably not very well, but as you say, he's a niche player. There's room for a guy who can do 2 of the things you mentioned. As Meatloaf said, don't be sad, because 2 out of 3 ain't bad.

    I'll set an edge (set edge oooooh)
    I rush the QB (QB ooooooh)
    But there ain't no way I'll ever cover Tight Ends

    Well, my guess is that he comes into camp next year claiming he wants to be a "complete" outside linebacker.

    Though man, you never see anything in the papers from him. He must not like to talk to the press at all. Or the press doesn't want to talk to him. Or both.

    Tramon needs to learn how to jump. He gave up two big catches to their giant rookie who "outjumped" tramon for both plays. Tramon got all of about 3 inches off the ground on both plays. If he could have gotten 4 inches off the ground he could have broken up or even picked off both balls.

    I can get 4 inches off the ground. And i'm white, older then tramon, have a nice beer gut and only have one good leg

    Can you get 4 inches off the ground running full speed and facing sideways with your hands in the air and being bumped by a 230 lb WR?
    One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

    Might just be his ankle. I've seen him dunk a basketball.

    Also, Tramon was out all week getting his ankle well enough to even play. Probably had 25 pounds of tape on it. Kinda minimizes his spring.

    Yes, you can never have enough guys who can rush the passer.
