Blondes don't have more fun, McCoy Cut

[editor's note, by BleedGreen] Promoted from diaries. Obviously McCoy was no where near sound enough to start, but I thought he had more of a knack for playmaking than the guys we have now. That said, when you're relegated to special teams and you take dumb penalties you're asking to get cut. What's more worrisome is that he was a second round pick. To cut him 2 years after you pick him is a real disaster. Does not reflect well on whoever made the call on this pick..

Blondes don't have more fun.

This is kind of shocking.

Matt McCoy's been released (making issues of his playing time academic), and Akeem Jordan promoted from the practice squad.

While I understand the discipline issue being made here, I'm kind of surprised that Pago Togafau is being valued higher than McCoy, and that McCoy wasn't simply benched as punishment.

Big Red must be really steamed about the deluge of penalties this year.

Cuts
Can we get Darren Howard cut too and promote Marques Murrell?

There's no way Abiamiri and Murrell couldn't do better than Howard, who is simply stealing part of Jeffrey Lurie's payroll.

What a waste of a draft pick.

McCoy
I seem to recall Reid at the time saying Matt McCoy was his favorite player in the 2005 draft.  He really must have done something to piss Reid off.

I can't believe he was cut because of that penalty
There have been plenty of other equally as stupid penalties this year. I never thought McCoy was a starter, but thought he had his value. Let's hope Akeem Jordan isn't  actually needed this year!

Hard to believe he was a 2nd round Pick
God we need a real GM!
