2017's Final Roster Moves: The March to 53...
-
Well, our O line looks extremely thin.....zero back up depth.....and 2 starters who havent made it through a season in a long time(if ever ala Tretter)......and no back up tackle(right or left).....very very iffy....
Im expecting us to sign a couple off waivers, as there is no way we head into the season with this group.....or is there?
-
From what I seen in Preseason, Britt didn't even look like he wanted to play or even try, Did he just come here because nobody ever expects us to do well so if he blows it wont matter? I mean I have not seen him produce much of anything and I watched all 4 games a few times each, (I was bored at work)

Quite possible that we pick up someone.
However, in Fabiano we still have a C/OG swingman and in Drango a OG/OT swingman, so could be worse. In the short-term were a starting OT to go down I suspect our remaining starter would be the LT and Drango would get the first shot at filling in at RT.
Rod's just too raw to step in at present, but has promise. Might be an option in the 2nd half of the season...

Britt has looked like that his entire career.....thats why "some" of us thought it was a pretty questionable signing....especially at double the money we paid Bowe.......
But....we've been told....last year he broke out and will be a veteran leader and 1000 yarder for us......so.....we shall see....(word is that he was average or worse for 8 years due to Jeff Fisher....wink wink)
I still think receiver is just a big ugly inept piss hole right now......not good....
-
Except for Joe Thomas, will their be anyone on this team has has been in the league for more than two years?
-
Sure...there are a number of them....Britt Collins, Kirksey, Bito, Thomas, Crowe, Taylor, McCourtey, Coquitt.....and probably a few more Im not remembering...

I knew that there were a few. I guess I should be more selective with my use of these new color combinations the board now provides us. I should just stick to the earth tones and leave the pinks and purples for satire, sarcasm and irony.

hard to imagine keeping Holmes over schult.
Agree... but Nassib? Cmon man...
Agree... but Nassib? Cmon man...
When i saw them in there against the same players schult looked better. Earlier games u could say schult was against 3rd and 4th string but when they were in thete against the same guys...yeah...schult looked a little bit better. Nassib has him on technique a little but schult looks a little bit stronger and def faster. Not so much straight line but def breaks down and changes direction better than nassib. Nassib didnt look bad mind you, i noticed he's gotten stronger....but to me schult looks like a better prospect.
I wouldnt replace nassib with schult at this point but if i was williams i would havevtried to fond a way to retain the kid. He can play DT easily too so you'd think they would have tried to make him DL depth. But i trust williams obviously if this was his call.
-
Reasonable takes...
Stands to reason the shorter and lighter Schult would be more agile, but Nassib really impressed me in the NYG game...
Oh and I've been meaning to mention that early against TB Schobert looked like a MLB. In our first defensive series he filled nicely on a couple runs. Seemed to be seeing the RB through traffic more clearly. Subsequent series? Not so much... but I did see a flash...

Yeah schoberts coming along. I hope that keeps up. We kept ogunjobr tho right? If scobert gets hurt where are we at mlb'er?
as for schult i think he was significantly bulked over his college listing. Dude was easily pushing 280. 270 minimum. So if he was lighter than nassib it was by no more 6-7 lbs. And being 5 inches shorter with same mass allowed him to stand guys up without having to stick his butt all the way out like nassib has to in order to retain leverage. Ah well, i just have a suspicion that by years end we'll be grumbling about zero pressure from the LE opp garett. And we'll have to adress it in the draft
edit; u have to admit that play schult made on shaw only garett could have easily made of our other DE's. Not sure og would have gotten shaw

I know this is the wrong spot to ask this and I really do not feel like starting a thread about it so I will ask you guys, Is Adam Pac Man Jones facing anything from the league for him getting in trouble yet again a few months back? Or did his high price attorneys take care of it?

Sterup-Fabs-Vitale-Holtz-Higgins-Payton-D.King-Hillary-Murray-Here's 9 that would hit PS with no one looking imo.. Martin or Reiter (no PS) are C's and carrying 1 is a must behind Tretter.(10) McGee makes it or gone(11) & how many snap counts does Duke see at slot? My vision is cut to 50 & add a WR & 2 CB's at now NFL level..tick tock.. & scratch another browns replay..It's Cut-Down Madness hours with Mooch & Eisen properly..We just expect no Respect till we win..

Aww. Kinda bummed about Greco. Hats off to that guy.
-
I think they let Greco go early so he would have a better chance at catching on with a another Team.
He was recovering from injuries as well, and may have been have a few issues with them still.
Great, versatile guy, and hate to see him go, but I can sorta see the thinking in this move.
(DL) Karter Schult and (S) Kai Nacua are the two UDFA's that I thought looked pretty good when we brought them in with the Draft.
Schult did okay, they may be planning on getting him to the Practice Squad (have to be cut first) if someone doesn't snag him. As a UDFA, his chances might be good to make it to the PS.
Nacua is still hanging on, I think they like him, but he may get cut and be a target for the PS as well.
Some tough cuts being made, meaning we're making progress in some areas.
Still expect to see about five new faces on the Team.
-
I wasn't aware that we had better backups than Greco. - I wonder who they are.....
I'm interested to see what happens at our WR position. I suspect we'll cut one more. And then when everyone else makes their final cuts that position will probably change again.
I think Telford stays as a TE.
And OL depth will be interesting to watch.
