Valid points. The answer seems to be they view Jayrone Elliott to be the better fooball player who can help them now. Chickillo's status is still in the air. If he were to be cut, they can always sign Skipper off the Giants PS at a later stage, if they even consider him an option. They seem to have heavily discounted Skipper's pre-season highlights vs backups and also-rans, and simply don't have the same view of him a lot of fans do. At the end of the day he's a small school, undrafted LB who just went unclaimed by 31 other teams. I enjoyed watching Skipper on the field, loved his energy and gusto. He's the perfect practice squad type guy to develop down the line. We have another one of those in Ulysess Gilbert. In some ways Ola Adeniyi is in the same boat, a young, unproven LB. Who knows, maybe Skipper ends up back with us at some point. But I don't think he warrants the type of huffing & puffing and adulation that's been connected to him. But who knows, maybe he'll end up being a Greg Lloyd, Joey Porter, Deebo-level player. For now, he's nothing close to that, just another practice squad guy trying to work his way into the league.
This whole coaching staff makes my head want to explode. Chick sucks, plain and simple. And I don't give a flying **** about special teams, with the number of goddamn penalties we get for holding, illegal blocks, offsides, etc on special teams I don't know why the **** we even field them. Ola has looked better than Chick and for a while he looked better than Bud, and he can't crack the roster till just about every other guy is in the infirmary. ******* insane.
