Hello Boneyard,
What a whirlwind of a weekend. We had a great atmosphere at home with about 50 family and friends. Plenty of food and drink, along with 2 spades tournaments going. It was a pressureless atmosphere until the end of the seventh when it was decision time. Teams were calling one after the other inquiring about Kash's services. We had about an hour to decide. Where were all of these teams during the draft? We had our own war room going. How many wr's did each team have? Who did they pick up thru FA? How many did they draft? How many slot receivers on the team? What bonus was the team offering? How much time do we have to decide? Has there been previous contact? Who's making the contact, scout, position coach, finance mgr or head coach? There was only one head coach who demanded to speak with Kash. His question was "Kashif, what will it take to make you a Bengal? You have an excellent opportunity to make this squad." I now understand why Coach Louis has a reputation as a "players coach". Quite an experience. There's 2 starting positions up for grabs. They didn't resign Simpson (X position) and Shipley (starting slot) is coming back from ACL surgery. Will he be full go? Kash is excited and can't wait to get started. He has a chip on his shoulder.
