Ivan Cabrera will not be the same

The Porterhouse

Ivan Cabrera is back from the Achilles but has lost a step, and his durability grade has fallen to Fragile. He lost 7.5 points of ability and will not get them back.

Zero sacks and twenty-one interceptions across ten seasons. Two of those shirts belong to somebody else now.

Thirty-two, and Apia, Samoa before that. Ask anybody: he has never been described as easy to coach. He was a mid-round pick who was the fourth-best player on his own college team. He played the trombone well enough to be offered a scholarship for it, once.

The club is 6-11. Cormac Bombardo is in year forty-four of it. He is out of contract after this.

Has never once been photographed smiling on a sideline.
