He knew he was in great shape after the '07 season so a slight to moderate downturn in '08 was going to be acceptable, especially with the NAME's retirement & a 1st-year QB.IMHO an extra roster spot for a D-lineman is more appropriate than a 3rd spot for a TE. Neither Humphrey nor Finley have earned their roster spot so far in '08. Corey Williams may be part of a weak defensive unit in Cleveland now but in GB he was an integral part of what was a dynamic rotation of athletic D-lineman. Why TT chose not to pay a guy like Williams falls into line with TT's gamble that he could afford to have a mediocre team in '08.TT knew Justin Harrell couldn't earn his roster spot, given his inability to stay healthy. Harrell was on the hot seat to step up. With a more versatile 3-technique guy like Corey Williams standing in the way it was obvious TT would be facing plenty of criticism with Harrell still unable to make enough of an impact in his 2nd season.</blockquote>
