Spoke with him tonight. He and his lady flew in and walked right by me. Was hard to recognize with his hat pulled down. As usual a class act all the way! Came back and shook my hand and chatted with me for a tiney bit before he went on his way.

did you ask him about the bread truck?

Nah I just told him hi. Shook his hand and chatted with him a bit about training camp coming up. Didnt want to keep him to long.

Arrington will go the way of the dodo long before Shipp IMO.

Shipp makes too much money to be a third running back that doesn't have any speed.

Yes he makes to much for his role. That being said we dont need the cap space. Wont hurt to carry him on the roster in any way.

Does that mean you caught him from behind? Figures.

no doubt he is classy guy, but hes done well to stay in pro football (or at least on a high salary) for as long as he has imho, or maybe i'm wrong, maybe we need guys like this around....

a season and a half of that tug boat horn is we got really!

You should have offered to give him pointers on punt protection.

:D

Shipp needs no pointers on punt or kickoff coverage though, I think it all depends on how well Hightower pans out if Shipp is still on the squad...from comments last year by coaches, don't think they are about to give up on Arrington just yet.

Well the problem is Shipp is paid like a good RB not a special teamer. I like the guy he plays hard he's a team first guy, but he's overpaid for what he actually has brought to the table(as is JJ obviously).

Here's a guess...

Shipp will be asked to take a pay reduction to be kept on the roster. Same as Ross and ? (was it Clancy) last season. Then it will be up to him to accept or try his chances elsewhere.
