Hey, Tony: With the selection of Martin Rucker, who do you see as being the odd-man out at the tight end position? Is there any chance the team keeps four TEs? -- David Gehlke, Pittsburgh
Hey, David: I think there is a slim chance they keep four tight ends. They may be trying to market Darnell Dinkins in a possible trade for a cornerback.
Hey, Tony: Slim chance? With JJ hurt and a 2-TE base offense? With Heiden playing more fullback last season than Vicker's back-up? With Cieslak, who played some fullback with NE? With Rucker, who could easily also play fullback, and two more UFA TE's who could play fullback? OK what are your odds? Wanna bet? You're right about Dinkens though.
Hey, Tony: You have been asked ad nauseum about the inability of Phil Savage to get an experienced back behind J. Lewis. From what I have read on and in-between the lines, it seems the Browns think Lawrence Vickers could step in as the starter and then they would add a veteran to fill the vacated roster spot. Your thoughts? -- John J. Berezo, Culloden, West Virginia
Hey, John: Savage often mentions Vickers as a possibility to play in one-back sets. That could be an emergency solution during a game, but I don't see it as a viable one beyond that. There's just no speed there.
STOP IT STOP IT STOP IT! JEROME HARRISON IS BIGGER THAN TIKI BARBER, EMMITT SMITH, PRIEST HOLMES, JOE MORRIS, THAT GUY IN PITTSBURGH, AND OVER A DOZEN OTHER STARTING BACKS WHO WENT TO PRO BOWLS OR WON CHAMPIONSHIPS. HE WAS NEVER INJURED IN COLLEGE, WHERE HE SET A BUNCH OF RECORDS. HE BECAME A DECENT BLOCKER IN HIS SECOND SEASON, AND IS NOW POLISHING HIS RECIEVING SKILLS. JEROME HARRISON AND WRIGHT ARE SUFFICIENT. NOW SHUT UP.
Hey, Tony: I know you really want Anthony Henry back just as much as I do? What do you think it would take to get him back? -- Scott Bennett, Wickliffe, Ohio
Hey, Scott: Considering the Cowboys paid out a $1 million roster bonus to Henry just a month ago, I would think the price tag would be a second-round pick, at least. Plus, the Cowboys would have to be assured Pacman Jones is on the straight and narrow and that No. 1 pick Melvin Jenkins is ready to play significant time.
Hey, Tony: Wow, it's good to have football back. With the tight roster restrictions has there been any thought of using Cribbs as a fourth QB just so the other three don't tire out their arms before the season? -- Greg Winger, Orange Village, Ohio
Hey, Greg: Cribbs has enough on his plate. This week, Romeo Crennel conceded Cribbs would be a consideration to fill in at cornerback in an emergency situation.
Most interesting.
