We've had 3 consistant players on D the last two years and we cut the only one of them that has expeirence in both the 3-4 and 4-3?
I may have been nice to atleast watch the guy practice for yourself to determine what he can do on the field. I think 4 wins next season may have just been wishful thinking.

I cant help but wonder.....alot was made about guys who were cancer in the locker room last year. If I read those comments right it almost felt like the finger was pointed at guys who were additions in recent years.

Now...to me....Jenkins made himself one of the most accountable ones last year but....could he have been one of the cancers behind closed doors? Reminds me of my daughter watching the Oscars the other night and saying about Jennifer Lawrence "oh...she is so nice" and I ask...."how do you know?".

How do we know? Likely its money and overall scheme changes that led to Jenkins. But I wonder if that was part of it.

Did Chip and Cullen even meet?

I don't think Cullen were a locker room cancer, but I don't think he was a leader.

Chip may have met with Jenkins. Last I heard Chip talked to all the players via phone, and some others he met in person, but not all.

He said in a recent interview that Howie is handling the roster, and that he hasn't seen the players in person, in practice, to be able to make those judgment calls.

And to those who say he has film, Chip directly addressed that issue saying the film isn't conclusive, and basically confirmed the roster was being handled by Howie. It's in one of the videos on PE.com.

My take on this situation:

Cullen Jenkins:
He would have helped the players such as Thornton and Cox transition easily to the 34DE position. He was probably cut because Howie wanted to restructure him again and he didn't want to OR he was a locker room problem and they needed to get rid of him.

Mike Patterson:
He was simply cut because he wouldn't have fit a 34.

Maybe just maybe Jenkins was one of those cancers in the locker room people were so passionate about. Anything is a possibility?
