Doesn't anybody want to keep this guy, good thing we didn't get him.
But, I guess he was better than Eddie Moore.

Chad Brown of my CU Buffs was a great player in his day...I wonder if he has anything left in the tank? :confused:

With yet another Miami Running back failing the banned substances test Miami should have been on the ball with this guy Cobbs. He has a lot of potiential. I'd say the fish were asleep at the wheel to let him get away.

Beisel got cut because he was leveled by Lorenenz last night!

[Muck]

Poor Monty Beisel.

Last night he gets de-cleated by a QB. Today he meets The Turk.

We're all stocked up on RB's Both starters and backups but I was hoping they would cut Patrick Pass and Keep Cobbs. Cobbs showed good power and cut back ability decent speed but his biggest fault was he fumbled twice during the preseason. I think Belichick Really wanted to at least get this guy on the Practice squad but he probably knew he'd never clear waivers so he decided to atleast get something for him. You never can tell him and Saban being such good frieds he might have traded him to Miami for a pack of gum for all we know.
