Very well said DePack.I hope that the rumors were false.Remember Mark Roman not only beat him out in Cincinnati â€“ it resulted in Manuel being cut. Here is what a former scout had to say about the possibility of the Packers acquiring him:Marquand Manuel is way slower than Mark RomanMarquand Manuel cannot be trusted in deep zone coverage or in man to manMarquand has no quicknessMarquand has virtually no change of direction abilityMarquand is efficient only if the play is in front of himMarquand has not produced turnovers in 4 seasons and averaged 4 passes defended per year has absolutely no ball skillsHere is what Marquand Manuel is:A solid hitter â€“ and an above average tackler but I am not sure he is better than Mark Roman He is strongHe is a LB in a safeties bodyHell, Todd Franz has more coverage skills than Manuel.</blockquote>
