Yah I feel bad for the guy

He is way more comfortable playing outside but we can't do that

I thought he played well as a rookie and have been scratching my head at his absence on the field....


I'm sure there is a reason Sapp plays and not him, but I haven't seen it yet this year.

i miss this guy!

he has potential to be a really good cornerback if he is in the right system and i hope he gets playing time soon

He must really suck if the coachs prefer Griffin to him.

He wasn't that good last year, he got burned numerous times and dropped a couple easy INTs I believe.
Not terrible (he looked like a rookie), but he definitely looked worse than Gordon did.

"as a rookie" should have been "for a rookie"

I think this kid has a ton of potential and really was looking forward to see him develop.

Why not in nickle situations put Griffin in the slot and McCauley on his side. I personally would like to see how that would work for us.

Well Gordon was a young player too, and I guess the coaching staff felt he brought more to the table.

Yeah, they have their reasons for everything...
