Cliff Levingston has never been PO'd at losing these guys. We keep coming up with new guys to fill the void. So, it has more to do with Toub and the coaching than it does necessarily with the individual talent. And besides, if you're looking to spend a lot of money on special teams play (sans the best returner in NFL history), you're making a mistake.

Yep - that's what 7th rounders and UDFA's are for. Those guys tend to be happy just to make the team and have no trouble flinging their bodies around to put dinner on the table. Amazing what the threat of a working in a cubicle (or worse) the rest of your life will make you do....

There's no reason to get pissed off at losing special teams studs because half the guys Angelo drafted were special teams players lol. They just kept reloading.

San Francisco 49ers reached agreement with former Giants running back Brandon Jacobs.


Also, rule changes.

All turnovers now will be subject to review like scoring plays. No coaching challenged will be needed.

According to the duo, clad in bathing suits, "began both verbally assaulting and threatening" Shaw when they saw he was taking them during their tropical vacation.

Eric Steinbach on the Bears radar:

CHICAGO -- The Chicago Bears made it known last month they were in the market for veteran help along the interior of their offensive line when they hosted Minnesota Vikings veteran Anthony Herrera on an official visit at Halas Hall.

Another name on the Bears' radar is veteran guard Eric Steinbach, who was released by the Cleveland Browns on March 14 after being asked to take a significant reduction in pay. The Bears and Seattle Seahawks are among the teams that have made inquiries about Steinbach, according to sources familiar with the situation.
