Shade 53 - BURROWorBUST - 08-31-2015
RE: Shade 53 - Johnny Cupcakes - 08-31-2015 I can't see them keeping 3 TEs, 5 RBs, 6 WRs and a FB. I think that they might go light on receiver considering that Burkhead could fill in in a pinch, and they will most likely not keep Watson or Peerman at HB. RE: Shade 53 - Stormborn - 08-31-2015 Like the idea of carrying 5 RBs instead of 9 olineman honestly, probably feel safer if France or someone was on the PS than if Watson was there. Seems unlikely in reality, but we kept 7 WRs that one time so I won't rule anything out.

Alford or Kumerow would have to go on PS. I'd keep Kumerow. RE: Shade 53 - SFmajor - 08-31-2015 I'm beginning to wonder about Hawk now. Is he worth holding onto? Can Flowers or Dawson do what he is doing at the WLB position?

I like Carter over Flowers, so I cut Flowers I like Thompson over Williams (Williams to Practice squad) I keep Hunt to replace Flowers I keep TJ Johnson and Trey Hopkins (Watson to the practice squad) I keep Little of Kumerow (Kumerow to practice squad) as Little is better special team option plus has more experience RE: Shade 53 - Au165 - 08-31-2015 Like I has been pointed out we won't carry 5 running backs, and the only reason we will carry 4 is for Peerman. If Peerman isn't cut this week, my guess is he will be on the team. I feel like he is a guy they would have cut early to give him a chance to latch on with another team.

I'm pretty sure we keep 4 and the 4th will be Peerman, but I think they're going to look at the 3 running backs (Watson, Peerman and Wilder) this week before we decide on who stays. In this case I don't think they've decided and that takes precedence over giving any of them the best chance to catch on with another club. RE: Shade 53 - pally - 08-31-2015 Watson and Wilder will have to have great special team showings on Thursday to be kept over Peerman. RE: Shade 53 - EatonFan - 08-31-2015 Just a point: It's actually somewhat of a detriment going into this season with only one real injury (Wright) to our starters. Why? Because when we cut to 53 we have to let go a lot of talent. If we have a few injuries to some better talent whom we put on IR, that gives us a pool of great talent NEXT year. A bit upside-down, but a healthy group entering the season actually hurts us a bit down the road. Plus it gives the head office less leverage to work with if say Williams would have gotten hurt and put on IR and Geno's contract was coming up. We have a lot of free agents and having that reserve is a bit of a relief. We won't have much of that next year. I'd still rather have a fully healthy group though and see what we can do THIS year firing on all cylinders!

On the bright side, we will be supplying the bottom feeding teams with some unexpected talent. As opposed to a few years back, when we were the hopeful beneficiaries of that unexpected talent getting cut..

Can Flowers or Dawson do what he is doing at the WLB position? Right? But I can't discount his experience. If 58 or 55 goes down, there's an immediate veteran void. Hawk is a Pro Bowler and he's won in the playoffs, not to mention he's an Ohioan. It was a good signing for all the right reasons. |
