Coach More Talks About Releasing Edgerrin James

Coach More was asked specifically why he cut Edgerrin James now, and not earlier or later ...

"In our attempt to get Louis Rankin some plays and a look and see if we can utilize the speed he has, see if he’s a legitimate possibility as a running in the NFL, you have to put someone down," he said.

Rather than ask Edgerrin James and man of his stature in this league to be inactive and relegate to a position on the scout team during the week, I felt the honorable thing was to let him go."

For all the things that Mora praised James about - professional, good in the locker room, hard worker at practice - the results just weren't there. Edge didn't produce on the field. He rushed for 125 yards on 46 carries and his longest run was 10 yards.
