Gonna be tough cuts to make. None of the RB's looked overwhelmingly better than the others. O-line looked bad though.

Cadet, Coleman, and Hightower would probably have to be cut to keep those other 3 guys you mentioned.
Didn't like Hightower at all today.
I know I am in the minority, but Ingram "creates less with more" than any RB on the team and always has. To me, he has held back playing time for better players (and ultimately lead to really good RBs moving onto other teams).
I know he was a 1st round pick, and I know he's a good guy... but for what he's paid.... he might be the 3rd (at best) most talented pure runner on the roster. (Behind Hightower and Spiller)
Don't get me wrong. I'm not here to bash Ingram. I think he's definitely a solid player, and I want him on the team.
I am just keeping asking myself... how much longer are we going to lose really good RBs on this team because of his presence (I.e. Robinson and Ivory).
After watching Spiller in limited action last night. I thought he looked fast, powerful, and quick on his few touches.
Again, I know I am in the minority... but I'd like to see Spiller be the every down RB for this team (If healthy) and have Ingram as the 3rd down RB picking up blitzers and running screens and draw plays against nickle and dime defenses. Otherwise, Ingram is going to cost us another really good player this year (again).
Red thumb away fellas.
Oh god.. This again
I'd argue that Cadet is pretty good out of the backfield. Serviceable as a returner. I've been trying to rid of him for years. I thought maybe we would give Lasco a chance to return kicks at some point but guess not. Also wasn't too impressed with Hightower last night. Thought Spiller would get more playing time than he didn't

How did Hakiem Nicks do last night??
Like I said, I'm not some Ingram hater. I'm not bashing the guy. He's solid, but he's also inconsistent IMO. He belongs on the team. But in what capacity, and at what ultimate price, and at what expense to other players?
I question his playing time and use mostly.
I also ask myself... If he wasn't a 1st round pick and Heisman winner... would he still get the touches and loyalty he gets from the coaching staff over other players?
I don't think it's unreasonable to ask based on what we have seen since he's been here, and who we have let go to keep him at what he's paid.
