Looks like I'm not the only one who's pissed about Cush not getting selected. In this podcast(bout the 5:49 mark), after answering questions about his health and recovery, Coach Wade P. busts in (like he was pissed the interviewer didn't ask) and says, "How Cushing didn't get selected is beyond me!, He's got at least 160-180 tackles by our count, and that's our coaches count, the correct one!"..."He is one of the best I've ever coached and I've been around a long time!".. For Coach P so say that alone almost puts you in the hall of fame. Hell, how many greats has he coached? and Cushing is one of the best? Poor coach Phillips, he's proud of the way his players have been oing all out and is taking unneeded stress over lack of our D to the PB roster.
Even without my battle-red, liberty-white and deep-steal-blue shades on, I think Cushing is the best LB in the game for this season. He is a gotdamn beast!! If I ever met Dre, I'd want a piggy back ride or have drag me by is coattail like he did Terrence Newman. If I ever met Foster, I'd want to hear some of his poetry and see what he thought about some of mine. If I ever met Cushing, I'd run, hide, lock my self in a cage somewhere and start throwing garlic, holywater and crosses at him.... hehehe
BTW There are reports out there that Cushing should have took Ray Lewis' spot on the roster.. Check it out
And I'm not necessarily surprised about the typical lack of respect for the rest of the D, but for Cushing not to make it is just craziness in my mind and a BIG story. Toward the end of the podcast, Dre sums up the pro bowl pretty well and laughs when they ask him if he thinks Finnergan will help him knock some of that rust off. This is one of the best Texans podcasts I heard this year! After listening to it, you wouldn't even know they just lost to the Smurfs in the oil field. I feel much better about this game. I was about to predict a L, but now am predicting a W!
