    Yet we still have 4 active Tight Ends and a 5th that should resume practicing next week.

    I guess this means Baxter is NOT developing the way they thought?

    I said it during the preseason....when everyone thought we had great depth at LB....it was not that they were all good...its that they were all average and your couldn't tell the difference...we didn't have 5 Patrick Willis, or Lawrence Timmons...we had 5 Kion Wilsons, and Stevenson Sylvesters

    William Gay, Sly, Will Allen....As I said repeatedly for the first few weeks of the year...the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result.

    I guess getting back to an 8-8 football team is looking pretty good right now.

    What puzzles me is that it said Kion was waived injured. Now all of a sudden they practice squad him?

    That's odd, must have been a bad report I read. These reports get shot out so quick that details get screwed up.

    He had been hurt, but practicing in a limited capacity. Officially he was waived- no recall, not waived -injured.

    Guess the great American hype machine was at work on Baxter. I have no flipping idea what is going on this season.

    Wow, yeah I though Baxter was someone they thought had potential. I mean Kion doesn't seem like a guy who has much upside.

    Man I hope Sean Spence can make a recovery!!!!

    I thought Baxter showed more promise in the preseason than all of them. Wilson was cut to make room for SS ,now He's back,smh. This team is getting basically no sack production from what is supposed to be a strength in a 3/4. So let's cut a guy who at least had that kind of potential so we can maintain our carousel of ILB ,none of whom has shown the ability or promise of actually making a impact. Some of them have had opportunities to step up,SS has had 3 yrs to make an impression. In the words of Vinny Barbarino " I'm so confused".
