Mr. Scot

Aaaand the waiver deadline has officially passed. A little less than an hour till we start hearing whether we got anybody...

Yikes

You don't put in a claim on a player you don't really want.

Watching the final preseason game, I got the impression that the plan for this season is to have Darnold release the ball quickly, even if it means cutting down on his reads. Once they feel like he's settled into a better groove, then they'll likely ease up and give him more freedom. It's the kind of thing you'd do for a rookie, and since Rhule has said that's how they're treating him, it makes sense.

I've been seeing that story referenced everywhere but I haven't sat down and read it. Need to make some time to do that soon.

Noon is the deadline for waiver claims to be placed. After 1pm is when the league starts announcing who's been awarded.

It sucks seeing a favorite player sign with a team you don't like, but it doesn't really make any sense to hold it against them. They're just trying to further their careers. Now when players leave and then trash talk the organization, that's another story.

It wasn't just the pundits. After Benjamin went down with an injury, a pretty significant portion of the fanbase was ready to abandon ship.

Other than cutting him... Regardless, Rivera used to pull that sh-t of making roster decisions based on trying to get veterans a storybook ending to their careers. It's one reason why we ended up the way we did.

You don't make football moves "out of respect".

I'm not used to this. I don't know how to react

Eeehhh, I think it's pretty fair to say that Ron Rivera's coaching had a lot to do with how badly Cam got beaten up.

Belichick says vaccination status had nothing to do with Newton's release. Breer believes him. I'm not entirely certain whether I do

Morgan was a pro scouting guy but he should still be familiar with him.

Joe Brady would be familiar with Fromm's play at Georgia when they took on LSU

Buffalo cut two...

I'd agree.

Some of those guys might have made other rosters but looking at the group, I've got a feeling most of them wouldn't.

Sounds like Ron is saying no...

Well, this could be interesting...

I think we did pick him up for a short period this offseason. At the very least, we gave him a tryout.
