[QUOTE="Lare, post: 154983, member: 114"] A couple of quick points. First, Ted Thompson makes all player decisions. Yes, he receives input from the coaches and personnel evaluators, but ultimately any player decision is determined by him, not the coaching staff. Next, if I'm not mistaken Barry was signed to a free agent contract after McCarthy and his coaching staff were already hired. That was after the offensive and zone-blocking schemes had been determined. Also, the roster is pretty well set at this point. There are no June 1st cuts anymore and the only players that'll become available now are ones that are outright released (probably due to injuries like Barry & Bourke) or ones released on the final cutdowns at the end of August. And although cutdown players can have value, it generally isn't realized until the second year as it's difficult to come in and learn a completely new system, get used to your teammates and be effective at such a late date. Somewhat like we saw with Lee, Bush and Peprah. I think at this point, what we see is pretty much what we're going to get. [/QUOTE]
