Seems a bit dramatic.  He's just a LB.  When has a team ever really been seriously disadvantaged because they went to their 2nd choice LB in the playoffs?

Lawrence against Atlanta was a major loss. Buckmaster starting over Murillo against Philly, that was on the right side, but still. Even two days ago Struber was complaining about Morgan as RB. Heck, have you forgotten Seagrist or even Pendant for that matter when they started? Even earlier this year when Tolkin was out it impacted us in a bad way. We will be seriously disadvantaged if Tokin can't go with no one behind him.

Stayed for the whole NYRBII match last night. Lets hope that wasn't his only scouting, Rece Buckmaster and Zach Carroll were two of the best players on the field.

Glad he got his priorities straight. Speaking of Buckmaster, this name sounds familiar. I wish we had him starting a couple of years ago instead of Murillo in play-offs when we lost in OT to Philly 3:4. I am sure he would have made the difference. Perhaps Schneider is working on a move to bring him back to mark his arrival to US in a splashy way.

Welcome to the team Buckmaster. I mean Pasher. A USL level signing to fill up a roster spot. Granted a decent USL level player.

Scouting reports from Houston fans are saying this guy never played LB for them. Used to be a creative attacking player, good dribbler, but fell off hard after a bad leg injury. Not a great defender.

My apologies for comparing him to Buckmaster, who was a shutdown defender.

On a semi related note, Murillo scored 2 goals for Anderlecht today against some Estonian team in the UEFA Conference League.

Imagine what Buckmaster would have done. Anderlecht missed out big time by picking our sub instead of starter.
