I suppose I should have amplified upon what I was told in the Sears situation, because I was dismayed at the screwup (and said so to them), and the club is, too. As Jay Zygmunt said, "we f----d up." I thought it was great that Armey took the blame, admitted they screwed up. They didn't try to cover anything up. The point, however, is that the decided they didn't like Sears. (Vermeil---"I love the kid, but he wasn't going to play here.") According to Armey, once Hyder started, that was pretty evident. Vermeil said in his press conference that Sears was their fifth DT. They knew some guys were going to be cut, and figured they could upgrade over Sears... and they think they did. The reason they planned on waiting until Monday was that they wanted to find out if Agnew and Farr were close to being able to go. If they weren't, they'd have cut someone else on Monday and still picked up a DT, then cut Corey later. One final note. You may have seen around the league several players placed on IR Sunday and waived off IR Monday. Same problem. The Rams could have done that with McKinney and Henley and never admitted their screwup. The reason they acted the way they did is that they may try to get those guys back after week ten, and if they were IR'd and cut, the Rams couldn't get them back at all. So on the slim chance that they get one of those guys back, they admitted the clerical error. |
