It sounds like the staff is confident in getting Ezeike, Battle and Webb back.

Also sounds like they're confident on Sewell, Williams, and Hall

How can they be so confident in the dead period?
I think the players can still contact coaches.

It will be interesting to see if he gets the waiver. That would probably dispel some of the doubters.
I saw a couple threads and Miami fans seem to be in despair about needing some DE. They also have a couple of DT's leaving early. Sounds like they are scrambling and losing Johnson has made it worse. Sounds like Johnson would have played a ton there next year.

7 hours by car is still closer than the 8 hours on a plane (doesn't take into account any possible layovers) it'd take to get from Miami to Sacramento.

No but you can easily catch a connecting flight in Seattle, San Francisco, or Portland, all of which would still make travel time under 7 hours.

Wife is from Sac and when she flys she has gone the Eug-Sac-pdx and Eug-SF-Sac route
the lay overs are sometimes a couple of hours. But not to bad

Haha. I was more referring to DJ Johnson, not so much your wife.

On the rare occasion I couldn't get a ride to Portland, I generally took the Greyhound. Not luxurious, but i was a student.
