Based on the preseason, I thought they were grooming Abby to be the primary punt and kick returner. Then he seemed to disappear. I guess injuries derailed that opportunity as well.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.

Could be a 4 week mini-IR. If he is hurt, the chances of him landing somewhere else go down. Depends a lot on Allison.Originally posted by run pMc View PostCorrect me if I'm wrong, but...
A team can bring back a player it has waived injured if it reaches an injury settlement with that player to make him a free agent. The rule as I understand it is the waiving team has to wait three weeks beyond the negotiated settlement recovery time before that player can return to his previous team.
If that's true, this could be buying time on Abby by switching out a hurt WR for a bigger, presumably fresher one. Maybe they felt Allison has more upside, or that he'd hold up better with his size. Maybe this is a Belichickian move to keep the WRs on their toes. No idea. But if another WR gets hurt they could in theory bring back Abby in a few weeks.
I don't think that will happen. I also agree the expiration date on Janis is approaching...he better learn the offense and route-running very soon.
If he didn't play this year because of injuries, then perhaps this happens. But if he lost chances on PR, KR and offense to other players while healthy, I wouldn't expect him back.Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

Abbrederis = Brett Swain.Originally posted by Pugger View PostAbby isn't fast enough to be Don Beebe.
Don't say I didn't warn y'all when Abby is a-rockin' the league in New England. He's the type of receiver the Pats like - undersized, slow but quick, and, with respect to Mr. Troy Brown and Mr. Deion Branch, of the Aryan race.
As for Janis, he ain't going anywhere. Janis is the Pack's best gunner since Bush. The Great Arm of Butte needs to stop worrying that J-Jan might end up taking J-Nel's job and just throw the fuckin' rock at Janis!

I said Query was like Don Beebe--which is nothing like Abby. Those guys were two of the fastest players in NFL history. Abby has average speed.Originally posted by Pugger View PostAbby isn't fast enough to be Don Beebe."There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great. But quite frankly, most of the people that are commenting on it don't know anything about what they are talking about."--Ted Thompson

We still got 2 honkie WR's. Better than the league average, I'll bet.Originally posted by MadtownPacker View PostFuck, now you groupie hoes have to root for da black WR.I can't run no more
With that lawless crowd
While the killers in high places
Say their prayers out loud
But they've summoned, they've summoned up

Jeff Janis puttin' on his eyeblack.
