Hilarity, Skins LB Chris Clemons cut

[Future]

isnt it too late to put players on PUP??

idk...i was just using that as an example of something other than cutting him.

 

[apickmans]

didn't mean to make it sound like that was the title of the thread..... Just kinda funny that Lloyd has been there 3 1/2 months and all of a sudden he's taking on taking on his coaches personality? I find that surprising and funny at the same time!:

haha ok, but still it was only one persons comment

Yes, too late for PUP. But, if they thought highly enough of his ability they would have put him IR. Cheaper just to cut him if you aren't worried about him haunting you when he plays for another team.

And, just because you seem to be one of the reasonable Skins fans around, I invite you to look at the Top 10 Coaches thread on this board. I'm sure you'd be surprised to see that nearly all of us think Gibbs is in the top 10 all time. A worthy foe.

"A man is measured by the strength of his enemies." So is a football team.

Well i guess they cut him thinking no other team would pick up an injured player, even though it shoudnt take all that long for him to heal i think. We still have the option of resigning him in the future once he heals up. Heh i would like to think im pretty level headed when it comes to discussing the skins and cowboys, so thanks.

haha no

The Washington Commanders might have a nice lineup, but their depth is putrid. Looking at their two deep on defense, I see two backup players who would make our team.

 

[Big Dakota]

they were touting the Rumph move yesterday.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[The30YardSlant]

Terrell Owens and Terry Glenn against Mike Rumph and Carlos Rogers =

Just as everyone else has the option of signing him once he is healed. If he was very good, the skins wouldn't take that chance.

i agree the Commanders are taking a risk by cutting him like that, but they did just sign Jeff Posey who know williams system and can hopefully bring something to the team.

Clemons would have had to have been listed as "waived/injured." (It's the same for Kerry Carter, who also was cut after blowing out his knee.)

When a player is waived/injured, he goes through waivers like any other player. But if he's not claimed off waivers, his rights revert back to the waiving team. That team then has five days either to negotiate an injury settlement or put the player on IR.

If Clemons gets claimed off waivers, the Commanders won't have him. If Clemons goes on IR, he can't play this season. And if Clemons gets an injury settlement, the Commanders won't be allowed to re-sign him until six weeks after the length of his settlement. So if he gets even a two-week settlement, which is small, they couldn't re-sign him until after Week 8. Any other team could sign him right away.

In other words, the linebacker some Commanders fans claimed had "shown flashes of greatness" and was "as good as or better than any linebacker in the draft" isn't likely to play for them anytime this season.

Oh, now this is a good pickup! The guy has had 20.5 sack in 8 years!

This guy is a beast! Is that the Jeff Posey you are talking about? :laugh1:

:dissskin:

 

[Clove]

i also saw a "hes well spoken" comment.:bang2:

Yeah, don't get me started again

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

the foreskins think that gibbs, williams and saunders will make the players drink the burgundy coolaid at the door and these guys will turn average into super. I am not kidding, there are those on their board who have stated williams can take oridinary and make them in to super players.

oh the mind.....

Or, he can take super players and turn them into...Lavar Arringtons.

when did i ever say posey was good? I just said hes familiar with william's system, and as complicated as it is, thats a good thing.

soooooooo youre saying theres a chance??????!!

 

[Mansta54]

first of all, it wasnt a thread about lloyd taking on the personality of gibbs. The thread was started because of quote from lloyd and one poster said
"almost sounds something gibbs would say. Its amazing how players take on the persona of the couch sometimes." Thats it! No thread, just someones comment.

Why are you here, on a BOYZ site explaining yourself???? We could really care less.... Move on!!!

He's no good, but, he's famliar with a system? Makes PERFECT SENSE TO ME!

RedStink logic...at work!

Hey, I know a guy that sells tires...the tires are no good, but, THEY USED TO BE ON A CAR!

Oh well, besides that, what signing bonus did the Midget give him? My guess is, around $498,987,776.00

Is that close? You losers amaze me and intertain me at the same time!
