The secret is to work less as individuals and more as a team. As a coach, I play not my eleven best, but my best eleven.

Interesting. Came into the league with loads of potential and still pretty young at only 25. I'm assuming this is low guarantee deal and hell be in a roster bubble situation with the handful of other young CBS.

It's a good pickup if he's dirt cheap, but I can't believe he's that inexpensive.

I'm really guessing it's a minimum type deal.

One of Colbert's rare high round misses. Said he lost his confidence, which is often fatal.

Excellent physical gifts. No brain to go with it.
Mikefive's theory: The only time you KNOW that a sports team player, coach or management member is being 100% honest is when they're NOT reciting "the company line".

Go back to leather helmets, NFL.

I love this signing. He’s got the physicals tools and might do well with a change of scenery

Burns was running with the first team today according to some reports. Maybe the kid reset his focus and will turn into a steal for us?
I will kill you if you cut me at the knees. You will drink with me when invited and stay til I say so. We only listen to American Music. I make men nervous with just my presence. I expect an apology if you hold. I throw linemen at QB's. Believe the Lore!

I have high hopes for Jaylon passing him in time, but it definitely says something about a Burns v Toliver roster battle.

Well Burns is out for the year with a torn ACL, so this is all moot.
