I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
"Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

I remember when Turner was a free agent before signing with the Falcons, I wanted the Bills to sign him so bad. -

He could be a good third down back for another year or so... for another team that is.I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"

I'm not even sure if that's the case. He hasn't been that great of a goal line power back either.Originally posted by The King View PostComment

Re: Falcons part ways with... Robinson, Turner and Abraham.
I'd take Abraham still without a doubt. He'd probably put more pressure on the QB than anyone on the team. I don't care that he's probably 40 years old.Originally posted by trapezeus View Post"Miami played pretty damn good today and still got their ass kicked."Comment

Re: Falcons part ways with... Robinson, Turner and Abraham.
I really can't question Dimitroff's track record. He's one of the best in the business, but the Abraham cut surprises me JUST a little bit. He is aging, but he provided 10.5 of the 29 sacks they mustered up. Of course, having not watched him a whole bunch last year, I do not know what the quality of those sacks were. Plus, he's 34 years old. I always liked Robinson, but at 30 years old, you're taking a chance at CB. He was a 4.34 guy at one time. Not sure if that speed is still there.Comment

Id be shocked if Robinson doesnt end up in the same division.I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"

I think I remember you saying that on the range. Unless my memory fails me, you and Chimp were his biggest proponents.Originally posted by Joe Fo Sho View Post
Turned out you guys were right.
He's over the hill now but he was a bruising effective back for 3 or 4 years.Disclaimer: The sentiment expressed in this post is strictly for entertainment purposes only.Comment

Dunta Robinson will end up somewhere and have a pretty good season. But more than one? That's up for debate.Comment
