Remember Dantzler has done nothing in NFLE, while Keith Davis lit it up last year in NFLE. That tells me all I need to know about Dantzler playing safety. I just don't see how there is a spot on the team for him. If Parcells hated cutting him the first time, I wonder how he will feel the second time around. I'm really pulling for Davis to be our FS. I liked his tackling and nack for being around the ball on ST last year. I really hope he can be the same type of player starting for us on D.
I just don't know what to think about Hunter. He has been a guy I've been pulling for the last couple of years, hoping he was a late round gem, but he is in lala land to be saying what he will and won't play. What has he done to think he can do that?
I think B Thornton gets a look because he was a 4th round pick who is still a complete unknown. I like Frazier, I just think he was in a little over his head last year. But as someone else mentioned he is scrappy. That is what I like about him. I think he'll get better too.
So that leaves Reeves and N Jones on the outside looking in. Neither of them lit it up last year, but I thought they had gained good experience which should be a help to them going into this year. I don't remember which one it was, but I know one of those two caught Parcells' eye by playing in something like 70 snaps against the Redskins. I think both played too much to be eligible for the practice squad.
What a difference a year can make. Last year we were playing guys off the street and another team's practice squad. This year we will probably have to cut people who will make other teams rosters.
