    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.

        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.
        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.

        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.

          Abby isn't fast enough to be Don Beebe.

            Abbrederis = Brett Swain.

            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!

                Abby coulda shoulda been Antonio Freeman. Not real big or fast, but a good route runner who can get open and use his athleticism and good hands to make plays. I think it is injuries that kept Abby down, and maybe now out.

                      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.

                        We still got 2 honkie WR's. Better than the league average, I'll bet.

                          Jeff Janis puttin' on his eyeblack.
                          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.

                            Maxie is sentimental about his vaudeville days. What an act. "How I love you, how I love you, my dear old Swannee!"

                                In your full makeup you looked a lot like Obama.

                                There's nothing sadder that two brothers torn apart by a woman. Sorry for painful reminder.
