I see he was cut and would love to hear your opinions of him. the Browns desperatley could use more depth at safety. Thanks.

I thought Ohalate was a solid starter who gave 100% on every play, but occasionaly had mental lapses. I think Ohalate could start on more than half the teams in the NFL, at worst he is a great special teams player. I dont agree with the move of letting him go. Why not cut Ade Jimoh??!!?!

He had a rough game Monday night. He does make plays but Gibbs wants a sure tackler to play free safety. Taylor will be all over the field, they just need hime to play centerfield. Mark Murphy style

uh - sucks big time is the best think I can say about Iffy. Unless you have a guy on your defensive squad you can't stand - because Iffy will take his butt OUT! I'm so happy he's gone - and I do hope he signs with a team in the NFC East.:0)

Seriously, if the Browns need a guy - they should look at Oakland's roster. Shabazz is a special teams hustler with great potential - a blue collar, get the job done, smart young player. Oh, and he tends to hit guys not wearing his same color shirt...

I didn't think he was that bad. He's just having a rough time of it this year so far. However, when he admits to not changing his style even though the D coach told him to, well that's no good. My friend is a Browns fan and I think he would work well there. All you can do is hope for the best though.

He was a very good safety, who just didn't fit into this new defensive scheme. If the Browns pick him up then they'll will have an excellent safety on their team.

I would be lying if I said I never sang the praises of him. In fact I remember quite a few times in the past year yelling at the top of my lungs at FedEx or the TV my cheers. The first time he caught my attention was during the Osaka game. He laid a monster hit on one of the 49er receivers, and I said to my friend watching with me, "that's what we need, a big time hitter in the secondary" The fact that I still to this day, can't spell his name (notice the omission of his name from this post) is disturbing as he was always a top 5 Skin for me.

I'm sorry he is gone, but think he needed a change of pace as much as we did from him. Best of luck Iffy.
