Re: Bye bye Kedrick

I think the subjext line here is very premature.  One game he sits after
returning from a severe ankle injury and you have made this determination
already.  How do you know that his ankle isn't still bothering him?

I am interested to see what the won-loss predictions are for the rest of the
regular season, and from some of you, it should be 0-26.  This is a nice
time to have a little 3 day break.  Give the coaching staff some time to
strategize for the rest of the season with the new additions.  They will
make a positive contribution.

I have us going 14-12 the rest of the way for a final record of 45-37 and a
playoff berth, which will be helpful in attracting the desirable free
agents.
