    Wouldn't work. The cars would just fly by him like everything else.

    Well, it's interesting that the guys playing in their stead- Blake and Adams- are playing much better.

    He has all the skills but his confidence is shattered. Seems a lot like 2004 Ike Taylor to me.

    Same thing we all said about Willie Gay at one time or another.

    Allan got torched today no doubt but hopefully he will learn from it and become better.

    He just signed the contract, he's not taking a paycut and he's not getting cut. He'll get a chance to turn things around.

    I'm not so sure about that. From what I can see, he is due a $3 million roster bonus next offseason. If he's cut before then, we save something like $1.6 million on the cap vs. keeping him. If this remains a lost season for Cortez, he could be shown the door. I think that the structure of his contract had an element of "prove it" by design with this potential outcome in mind.

    exactly .. if we cut him we save 1,5 milion , means if we don't cut him we have to pay him 6milion next season ..no way at these performance

    Everyone slumps, but not so soon after a 20 mil deal! He could still turn it around but He personally let those guys back in the game on 2 plays where he was assigned! Now he should've never been there, but apparently we throw offsetting flags 5-10 seconds after the play to keep **** funky these days

    A fat contract does not guarantee you a spot on the team. Just ask Woodley. Allen most certianly needs to be trimmed from the roster. He is, I think, worse than Gay was back when we all hated him.

    On another note, who would have thought at the beginning of the season that we would all be clamoring for Taylor to come back from an injury to stabilize our secondary...

    Anything can happen, but I don't see it this soon after signing the deal. Doesn't seem to be the Sterlers way of doing business.
