Julius Jones is the runningback for ths team, let's get some real guards playing out there and you'll see him really turn it on.

Who!? JJ???

How bout that bag of crap Rivera????
Julius and Rivera both are under contract through 2009.

If we cut Rivera we'd have to eat about $5.5 MM on the cap. His salary for next year is about $2 MM.

Rivera needs to go- he is done. Put Steinbach there and watch the difference. Kosier was pretty good and Columbo with another offseason to get stronger and better. The Hotel played pretty good last half- and we have that kid McQ to look at. With a real top quality guard like Steibach I think the line could actually be good.

Its easy to see when the offseason begins. All the know nothings show up.

Marco, Henry, and Ferguson all signed deals that hit the break even point (i.e., cutting them is as cheap as keeping them) after year 3.

I think Bill likes what Rivera brings in terms of teaching the young guys and leading the OL unit. He just isn't there physically any more. I'd like to see us find a replacement but keep him around as a backup.

I'm not sure he should get blame for Rivera's back injury after he was signed. Everyone wanted Wahle instead, but I'm not sure he was lights out in Carolina.

A 2nd/3rd round guard to battle for the position is most likely.

I didn't see anyone say we should cut him.

I agree, I dont' understand why people crap on Julius JOnes all the time. The guy can run. Nobody notices the lack of holes in front of him...
