Johnson III may be a product of our system but he looked better than any other DE in that system throughout the preseason. If our system is responsible for his play, why didnt any of the other DE look that good?
I dont know how good Hudson is at blocking but he certainly looked like our best receiving TE in preseason of those Tight Ends that played. I dont know if he makes the 53 but he deserves a spot on the PS.
Ford, you've got no argument from me on that one. He just looked bad. No reason to keep him unless you promised Orlando Brown his buddy would have a spot on the roster or PS.
I assume Smith won't go on IR from the fact that he was left on the list. So with that in mind, he's your RT2. Or LT2. It's up to Carman and Pollack as to how that'll shake out.
I'm not saying the system makes every edge look like Nick Bosa, just saying RJ3 came up through it. Could have been a fluke, could have been him; I'm just saying I don't think it's that important, which is what I meant by not that important.
I don't believe this team needs a receiving TE. Joe will elevate whoever he's got into the role (like he did last year and the year before). Hudson's barely bigger than Tee. I think calling him a TE is almost a misrepresentation. He's what they call an Audentate, which is Gaelic for "a tweener that we don't need." LOL
Just my opinion. We'll see soon enough.
