I would like to see Harris back there. I've always been excited for us signing him. Would love to see him go out there and make some plays

Harris was one of the best rated unsigned FA's .. hopefully he steps up and gives Smith a partner after all the
didn't work out people ...

I am shocked Trattou got waived he was looking like a replacement to Robison someday??

No not at all. That will be Hunter. Trattou never had much of a chance IMO

It was tough to tell because of experience...but I felt Tratou
was outplaying hunter. Hunter had four more years NFL

How has Chrichton done lately? I haven't watched in awhile and just curious if he's done anything lately.

Watched him while I attended Iowa (still attending - year five for me). Always thought he never really got too much of a legitimate chance with Cincinnati (due to his injury). Was glad to see him play here back in 2013 and last year. I wish we would have kept him - but I understand that his preseason tape was not that great this year.

Yeah, I never really had high hopes for him. Now Desmond King...yes. :o

Hunter is a rookie and in my mind has vastly outplayed Trattau

Well, to be fair Trattou was dealing with a pretty significant injury just after having a great game.
