Rashad Baker Released

All things equal, I figured they’d keep the rookie with upside as opposed to a journeyman veteran, but I’m really surprised the Birds made this move so soon. I guess all Sean McDermott wasn’t just blowing smoke with all the praise. It’ll be really interesting to see how he performs over the next 3 games now that it’s pretty much a given he’ll be on the final 53 roster.

On a different note, THANK YOU BRETT FAVRE. Surely this means attention will be diverted away from the NovaCare Complex. Also, this actually makes the Vikes less threatening to me. He totally just didn’t want to deal with the rough part of training camp. Smooth, Brett.

Maybe I shouldn’t jinx it… Reshard Langford isn’t going to roll over and play dead.

From what I can tell, seems to be a legit player- we’re just very deep in the secondary. I think he’ll get a chunk of playing time this year.

I also think Macho will get some quality time if he indeed gets a spot. You could see flashes in the first game, but for fear of sounding like a complete homer, this kid rules. I watched him for 4 years at VT (Go Hokies!) and he was consistently one of the best players on the field. I mean, the guy was a first-team All-American last year. All-American defensive backs generally translate well in the NFL.

I don’t have a man-crush, I swear… I save that for Eddie Royal.

This is kind of weird, No one, not even the agent can get in contact with Baker…its kinda creepy.

Get used to seeing Harrison’s back . . . as he frantically chases ballcarriers streaking to the goal line.

Most likely practice, assuming he survives the week, but you’ve got a point.
