what players have we lost during this off season for football?

Submitted by kofine05 on
I can think of two O linemen Dan oneal and Wermears. Anyone know if there were any other drop outs and what position they played? Im just interested.

We lost: Threet (QB for anyone that may have somehow forgotten that one in this overly long offseason) Clemons (slot) Horn (RB) Butler (TE) McGuffie (RB) (side note, my sister always called him "Scruff McGruff" so I'll miss him just for that, even if he ran like he was trying to win the proper posture contest (upright, for anyone that didn't get that joke)) I got all this off of the depth chart revisions by Brian. So feel free to add to this or tell me if I'm wrong somewhere.

we didn't lose anyone. Anyone of real concern that is. With respect to Sam's family situation, and Threet's best efforts, this "attrition" is really addition by subtraction. Keeping some of these guys around for depth would be nice, but better in the end I say.

Threet is a loss. He was very inconsistent, and may well have been beaten out by Forcier anyway, but he had some ability, and a year of experience under his belt. I would have felt better having him around as insurance in case of injury to Tate. As it is, we may have to hope Sheridan gets it together because asking Robinson to step in as more than a change-of-pace guy could be problematic.

enough said. I would think it is best to weed them out as early as possible. This will open scholarships for players who want to work, compete, and fit the schemes being run. If I recall right, Wermers was not going to see the field here as he just wasn't progressing. Nothing against the kid but, if he feels going to the MAC gives him a chance to play more power to him.

I've heard the rumor (and lets pray it's true) that Tacopants, yes he of the never-expiring-eligibility has had enough of being hit in the crotch by Tate (he is 11' tall); and is transferring to OSU to share douche bottles with Boren and make circus grabs for Pryor.
