Things last night proved
-
Meder had an awesome preseason, Pet loves him.
Pullard plays like Brown too, so do we keep 5 inside linebackers in order to keep special teams Ace Tank Carder?
Tank could be in jeopardy.

Tank is a proven special teams monster. So it boils down to if the staff believes Pullard's effective potential at being a part of the ILB rotation is greater than that of Carder's.

Anderson will be in the league so long he will probably get a chance to beat out Brady Quinn's kid.

Fucking hell......you bring up a point.....could Brady Quinn be any worse now than Thaddy Lew? If Tebow can get a chance.....!

Yes, he could be,and is, worse than everybody in the NFL, which is why he is on TV.

I still think that one of the Bronco's qb's let go...
could be a possibility, cause the Browns need to keep three...
and the third one ain't goin to be no Thad Lewis.
-
maybe i'm wrong but everything I was hearing this year was that Carder's ascended to being part of the starting rotation. Like if Dansby went down Carder is next up. Haven't paid that much attention to the ILB'ers this preseason though. Last night Carder and Pullard looked good though.
-
I've heard Kirskey and Carder have really stepped up, so that it's no longer really Dansby plus one other, it's Dansby & Kirksey, then either Robertson or Carder.

Could they keep them all? Dansby, Robertson, Kirksey, Carder, Pullard? 5 ILBs. Carder and Pullard would both be special teamers.

Unlikely.

I don't see 3 QBs on our 53 and vets aren't PS eligible...
Watched NFL Access late last nite and Brian Billick was talking about Philly and Tebow. General point he made about a third QB was that he has to be a prospect you are developing and that can be done on a PS.
He added that a vet #3 never makes sense because you have to assume that if you ever get to your #3, then you are not looking at winning anyway, so you are better off using that spot for developing a position player.
Bottom line... some rookie is going to come free in final cuts that will be a decent PS option... and Thad is likely just a phone call away.

Tagging onto that I think the reason we keep Pryor is his development at WR AND the fact he can be #3 QB if we get desperate. Lewis just sent in his "goner" card last night.
-
Yes Thad was bad last nite but that OL that was to protect him and possibly block for a RB might have been even worst. Thad has never looked that bad and no way he did it on his own. (except that pryor lead block,LOL).

Barkley is likely getting the chop.
Yup... Sanchez is the firm #2. Not sure there will be a third, but no telling with Chip...
With Tebow... you could use a Sundial to time his pregressions...

A lot of the bad....he did do on his own. The OL may have been bad....but he made them look worse by continually holding on to the ball......fumbling it....throwing it to the other team. Just bad.

Keeping a player who is only competent at ST is a luxury at best.. something we can't afford. I'd rather have Pryor and/or Pullard over Carder
-
I really think the Bowe signing was a huge mistake. I also agree he has lost a step or two and can't gain separation very well. Having said that they showed multiple replays last night where he was literally holding up a "hey I'm open throw me the damn ball sign". It would have been nice to see the effort with a better QB. It did look like he might be an ok possession guy.
-
Carder has been terrible any time he has been played as a linebacker. He's a special teams player, not an "ace" or anything near it

I'm not the only one to ever call him a special teams ace.
I believe that is his reputation and his reason for being on the team thus far through three head coaches.
He won an award for it last year.

Pullard just seems to have the football instincts bigtime.
Carder has been impressive on ST's,,, but I still remember some of his
boneheaded penalties.
Goin to be interesting.
