Did you mean Werner? Kruger reportedly already agreed to terms with Saints yesterday.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive.
Sorry for Party Rocking!

Looks good. Depending on health i guess we could go with 9 OL and look for another RB but it makes sense to go 10 early with Ogbuehi and Fisher questions.
I think roach is a question. Knowing Burfict is coming in a few weeks we could go with 6 LBs. And go heavy at DB or DL.
I know we have two stud DEs. But our DE depth as a 4-3 team is disgraceful. Pass rush won a Super Bowl last year.

I got the sense from Hobson that they're looking at Fej to fill in for Peerman on STs. That would give him a leg up.

Right. The final DE spot has be worried. I like what I've seen from Ryan Brown though. Tonight is going to be huge for him.

Since he is the back up Center on a line that has several already injured players, I'd say unless they bring someone in he's a lock.

those last position choices will come down to special team play especially with Peerman out

Think you nailed it Shady...
Right with you on Ryan Brown, hope he earns that last spot over Hunt. Brown has the same size as Dunlap,
6'6" 275 and has made some plays in both the run game and the passing game this Preseason with less snaps
than Hunt. I see talent here and he was good in college, surprised he wasn't drafted.
With the way TJ Johnson and the rest of the backups have played at Center it makes me want us to get good
ole Westerman some more snaps there in practice in case Bodine goes down or plays bad.
Some were talking up Cooper at Center at one point but he has played pretty bad this Preseason IMO.
Westerman might be our answer if Bodine does not improve but thankfully he has looked much better.

When you look at it, most of these calls are really easy ones. I totally hear where Sled21 is coming from on TJ Johnson, but as you say, he's looked rough to say the least. Westerman might be a great choice, and could allow us to keep one less lineman. I don't know what position we'd then go heavier on. Maybe RB until the time Peerman gets back?

I know very little about how contracts work and such as far as releases, but I do know this is the last year on Hunt's contract. If they cut him, don't they still have to pay him for this last year?

Nope, in the NFL players who get cut don't get paid.

Hate to say it, but I give it a 60% chance that Eifert gets assigned to the PuP list on the cut down to 53.

Flowers and Dawson had physical altercation on bench tonight and had to be quickly separated. Have seen arguing before but never this.
Looked to be mostly Flowers because Dansby stepped in and went facemask to face mask and walked him 15 yards down to other end of bench backwards as he tried to get around him a couple times with no success.
Liked that Dansby immediately stepped in like a leader and defused it quickly and decisively. But wonder if it hurts one of their chances.
