Many have already voiced their opinion about n the inter webs on how they felt about the team parting ways with veteran David Moore. Especially after the loss of Russell Gage, Jr. to injury, the general notion was Moore would be that role by default. But reality is the team is high on young guys like Trey Palme and Deven Thompkins. However, Moore can always be brought back and signed to the practice squad.
