Darnell Bing released/CB to watch for in 2008

For those of you who follow our draft coverage, I think you know why I posted this. Remember when some Patriots fans wanted this guy in the second round of the draft? Now he can be picked up for free but I imagine Bing has the same problem he had coming out of USC: he can’t play football. I still have no idea where the hype surrounding this guy came from. All anyone had to do was watch one USC game to realize that Bing was one of the worst safeties in the country. Now if people would realize that Roy Williams is one of the worst safeties in the NFL, I will finally be able to sleep at night. With Bing being released after never playing one down of football for the Raiders, it makes my “No way Alan Branch will be on the board when the Patriots pick,” comment this year a little easier to swallow.

 Speaking of the draft, watch out for this guy: Antoine Cason, CB Arizona. I’ve been watching Cason play for the last two years and there won’t be a better cover corner in college football this year, I guarantee it. Cason isn’t just a cover guy but he’ll also come up and smack receivers and ball carriers. I think he’s the total package at the cornerback position and someone I’ll be watching closely this season. I would advise Patriots fans to do the same because this kid would be a perfect fit in Bill Belichick’s defense, especially if No. 22 isn’t around.

    Let it go Tom:)) I guess you’ve proved your point time and again and you dont need to lose sleep over someone like Darnell Bing…There is no point in beating down on innocent fans who go by what so called experts in the national media write…

    Hey, I am one of those blowhard writers. I’m just having a little fun. I never thought Bing would be a starting NFL safety but even I’m surprised he was cut after only one year. On the bright side, he was released by the Raiders and we all know they have no clue on how to run a football team, so maybe there’s still some hope for Bing yet.

    Yep lets be honest it’s probably a blessing in disguise for the kid

    Roy Williams making the Pro Bowl last year was comical last year

    Why do you think Roy Williams is such a bad player? He’s a little overrated, but he doesn’t suck.
