That is just a prod to Burnett - Singleton is gone - can't you see BP's hidden comment there! :rolleyes:

The only thing about Singleton is he does make some $$$ for a backup.. I think the boys need Al as a starter or a backup.. Just too much experience to get rid of IMO

Burnett will be starting. He (Als) has experience creating no plays.

BP also said as many as 4 rookies could be starting.....

Al stays this year and is gone next IMO.

You do not cut a guy that you consider solid, even if he is not dynamic, when you are talking about depth.

At the Arizona game I thought he looked good. Which was different than my impression from watching televised games. Mainly he was in position and a sure tackler.

This is Al's last year on his contract, correct?

Theoretically, I'd prefer to see AL win the starting gig because Gurode has value as a backup at both guards and center. If Gurode wins the starting position, then Al better learn to play guard, and quick....I'm not sure you can afford to have a backup center who can't do anything but play center...that's a tough one.

My guess is the competition is still in full swing...the minute Gurode wins the starting gig, if he does, AL will have to start taking some reps at OG, imo.

No, he is signed through 2006. I agree with BrainPaint. Al stays this year and is gone next.

I think they will renegotiate his last year and keep him

I agree with this completely. Right now at OLB we have Al, a rookie transitioning from DE, another rookie, a 2nd year guy who is in his 2nd year working at LB after playing DE, and a vet DE trying to make the move to OLB.

We need AL's experience for at least one year until these younger players have a better feel for the game. Whatever anyone's opinion may be of Singleton, he's the only truly experienced player we currently have on the outside.

He may not be starting at the end of the year, but that doesn't mean it's not worth it to have him around.

I think you are right on the money. When it happens someone we all know will claim he told us this. Completely forgetting (conveniently) that he made the prediction of a TC cut because of salary.

That is how you twist stuff to fit.

I think he is already starting the spin to Burnett starting. Then when Burnett starts, which obviously should happen at some point, he can crow about that.

Particularly when you're seemingly obsessed with being right or proving a point. The sad thing is, there are so many more important things in life than being right, let alone going out of the way to prove that you are.

Every single person in this forum knows Burnett will start at some point. It isn't a revelation, but we all "should have listened."
