I’ve seen Quincy Roche’s name come up a couple of times since Avery was cut yesterday. Is he available and would they circle back to him?

He's with the NY Giants and doesn't appear to be in danger of being cut.

I have read that thee combination of Ben's relative immobility and the O-line's mediocrity meant that opponents did not take into serious account downfield or rollout/sprint out passing. So LB's and DBs crowded up to the LOS. If true, last season might have been one of Ben's best since they actually made the postseason. This year is it possible that the quite modest improvements in the line plus the mobility of the QBs combined with play calling could make the offense more effective? And, with an improved defense turning the ball back to the offense on 3rd down stops, is it nutty to think the team might win 10-11 games?

I actually think it can be, but, considering how poorly the offensive performed for most of last season (not counting Ben's comebacks in the 4th quarter), that's probably not saying a lot. But I think they have a chance to be more dangerous/explosive and more diverse, especially if they can do a better job with the run game.

6 DBs, 4 OLs, 2 DEs and NO LBs were taken after Oladokun was 'mistakenly' taken by the Steelers (altho he may still be signed to the PS). These were all positions fans were screaming us to take instead of a 4th QB. What are the odds that ANY of these players, let alone our UDFAs, even make a roster?

I will tell you taking a second QB in the draft, when they only had seven picks, was not favorably received inside the building. It was a wasted pick, regardless if he's on the practice squad. You can find those guys anywhere.

Why does the staff continue to start ineffective veterans? Robinson has outplayed Bush and Spillane. Shouldn’t they live with his rookie mistakes and bet on his upside rather then continue with veteran “JV” play ?

Yes he has but I think the coaches think he needs to get more adapted to his defensive assignments. It's not easy for a rookie.

OK kids, we're out of time. Thanx for all the questions.
