Why do we need another FB???

I wonder what this does to Hodgins?

Ayanbadejo will be the starter, and Hodgins is too expensive for a backup FB when you consider he's not much of a special teams player. This Morrow guy has been one of the better special teams player in the league over his career.

It certainly looks like Hodgins is on his way out the door so I wonder why he hasn't been cut yet. One thing about DG, if he doesn't think he wants to keep a player then the guy doesn't even make it to training camp. If Hodgins is on the team when preseason rolls around then we have to assumer that DG does have some plans for him and that there is a real competition at FB.

I would have to agree with the above.........after all......like a weather report, it would be hard not for one of the above not to happen!

As we type...

...Denny green is contacting Tom Donahue to discuss a straight-up trade of Hodges for Henry.

Denny has noticed TD's pechent for converting TE's into OL and thinks he may want to try with a FB.

Morrows name was brought up back in February and the possibility of him coming here.

As far as cutting Hodgins, lets not be in too much of a hurry. It would be silly to cut a decent player only to have your starter go down to injury.

That wouldn't be any different than the situation we had last year when Hodgins was on IR the whole season. The difference this year, we'd have an experienced backup in Morrow.

But, whatever. I'm fine if Hodgins stays, I'm fine if he's cut. If someone becomes available at CB, I'd say that position is more of a need right now.

I like Hodgins, Cool as hell and he boxes at my Gym.
