Say it ain't so Tomlin!!!

Tomlin was once again vague when he was asked about Wes Saunders coming back and who would go and who would stay.They have until Friday to make up their mind but Tomlin was singing the praises of David Paulson noting that the game wasn't to big for him and that he shows an attention to detail .this gave me the feeling that Saunders will be cutwhich is a mistake Saunders has the potential to be the best receiving TE in the league.Let's hope it ain't so and they cut someone else like Pope or Will allen now that we have DVD

We have a 6'8" TE that can't block and is a mediocre at best receiver and you think they're going to cut Saunders?

If it makes you feel better, Pope got 0 snaps Sunday. That was probably a sign.

I think it was more of him building Paulson's confidence and Tomlin letting him know he would be around for the season. Why throw a bone to Saunders at this point? What has he done for the team besides being suspended? Any coach worth his weight in sweat will not sing the praises of what a player "might do" over a player who has contributed in a positive way. Saunders will get his due if he earns it. Which as you do, expect he will!

Paulson has been a pleasant surprise, I like his potential. However, you know how the Steelers are with hanging onto veterans. Pope is a Haley guy, don't be shocked if he's still around.

I like Saunders but best receiving TE in the NFL.....I think that is a big of a stretch especially with the two that play in New England......

You're reading into this way too much. Saunders isn't going to be cut.

Really when you watch NE... the Receivers are usually wide open. wide open meaning a 2 yard radius of open...
our guys would look like gold to if they werent held and covered so tight. Heath was catching balls with a 6 inch window this week.
