Ross is History

He was in only, what, maybe 5 times in the game. Each of those times he messed up. Ever since he got here he has done nothing but fill a roster spot. I have been unimpressed. Maybe if he does come back next year, he might be a little more mentally prepared.

Ross has been cut, thank goodness, hopefully forever this time. Rushen Jones was resigned.

"We're very pleased to have Rushen back," coach Mike Tice said. "He brings a tremendous amount of character, a tremendous amount of effort, a tremendous amount of toughness to our football team."

What a load of crap from Tice.....
If this guy is so tremendous, why isn't he starting for another team right now?

Glad Ross is gone though. He was a real hindrince.

Thank you GOD...could anyone be worse?

XTAP59, exactly. Tice is a joke. If he thought Jones was better why didn't he replace Ross a long time ago. The more Tice talks and throws flags and trys BS like this, the stupider he looks.

Hey he just fired the guy. :P What do you want Tice to do kick Ross in the ass on the way out the door? :roll: Geeeze he is just trying to put a positive spin on it by talking about Jones coming in is all. Lighten up.

I couldn't care less about how they send Ross off or bring Jones in. The point is,if Tice had a better man available why didn't he get him earlier?

The spin- ya thats my point. Tice needs to quit acting like he's doing something to better the team when in fact he doesn't know if it will be an improvement. If he did, he would have done this 3 weeks ago. Unless, God forbid, he didn't have the teams best interest at heart. Can you see my point now? And if Tice is just trying to make a statement to the team of play or move on, well, the trouble lies far deeper than Ross. Personally, I'd lookat the safeties, to many guys in the middle of the field and no safeties making them pay. Lighten up- ya your right. I've got to quit taking Tice seriously.
