So they "basically cut him" and then decided to bring him back for camp.... why?
If you basically cut him during the season why wouldn't you actually cut him during the offseason?

Who knows though. I just can't see them carrying seven but each of those guys provides value in different ways. Doss is the most easily forgotten IMO.
True true. Though I think 7 WRs as semi-realistic, and 8 unlikely.
I'm almost mad Doss played well. :p I'm torn in giving him a proper chance but also not losing and seeing guys that I think have higher ceilings, in Mellette and Brown.

If they are competing purely as a RB, it's no contest.

I don't get that guys disgust for Laquan, but he has his mind made up that he's this horrible special teams guy, yet played on virtually every special teams unit during the best special teams unit we've ever had.

You might not like him but he's versatile. He's had 9 ST tackles the last two years, 2 fumble recoveries and when he returned kickoffs two years ago he averaged 22 yds. He's a solid if not spectacular ST's guy who can cover, line up at gunner and return in a pinch. There aren't a lot of guys that can do all those things. That's why they've kept him on the roster.

What's more telling is that LaQuan basically receives NO snaps at WR in practice/preseason and has made the team the past 2 years.... yet somehow he's not good at ST? Right.
Williams may or may not make the team this year but he's definitely a good ST guy and will get a shot somewhere else.

I see a 2 minute drill in our future.
Re: Game Thread, Pre-Season 4 - St. Louis Rams
I watch the games. Name what units he played on teams? Wasn't many.

Remember when people were talking about him replacing Ed Reed/Pollard? Good thing that ain't happening.
Re: Game Thread, Pre-Season 4 - St. Louis Rams
That's one way for AA to rebound. Hell of a block.
