MHS831

I like the jerseys nobody else has--like a Brad Hoover back in the day--so on this squad, I am really liking Chinn or maybe Tremble. I would think "88" but I have a feeling a lot of Olsen fans will still be wearing his jersey.

I was actually thinking collar bone or shoulder separation.

I had that thought--then I thought, "3 year contract..."

I did. Of course, I questioned my paranoia--if that is what it was.

which is why the #3 qb should be on the PS, not the roster, imo.

I had him on my list and then took him off--I am keeping 5 WRs with Cannon as a swing WR/RB. Rhule made some comment about keeping 5, possibly 6. Smith NOT going to IR is going to hurt Zylstra's chances. I am simply not sure about his special teams value, which is why I stayed away--at the moment, he is NOT on my 53. So would his being cut be a surprise? Could not decide.

I have been saying (and you may disagree) that Easton Stick looked good for the Chargers and the announcers (LAC) were wondering if he might make the team---I dunno, all I have to go on was the one game I watched, but I saw something more than what we have in camp behind SD.

So that sub 50% completion rate is compelling to you?

I would start by banning myself.

It is obvious, unless you bring in another QB--I am not sure PJ's best is going to be enough--ever--so I thought we should develop a young guy with more upside--arguably an Easton Stick or someone of that nature that may have more upside. I am down on Walker, if you can't tell.

Thought we might take a look at some potential surprise cuts. Feel free to add your list before Tuesday's deadline (Capt. Hindsight): Melvin CB: I think he gets cut. Taylor and Thomas-Oliver III looked good in preseason, and you need to develop youth over paying for some drifter’s retirement. There was talk about him playing the nickel until Bouye returned, but Hartsfield had a strong preseason, IMO. Horn and Jackson outside ahead of Taylor and Thomas Oliver, Hartsfield and Bouye at Nickel. We don’t need Melvin. Walker QB: They may try to pull him back to the PS, but to what end? He got outplayed in the preseason by Grier. Period. We probably keep 2 QBs on the roster, and one on the PS. Thomas TE: With Rhule’s man crush on Ricci, we have 2 TEs that can play the FB spot. Rhule bragged about developing Ricci from the PS last year. Could this spell doom for Thomas, who might fall between the cracks? I think we may have seen his best, and it is not going to cut it. Oh, and if we keep 4 TEs, Thompson is probably the fourth. Thomas just makes too many mental errors and has not come close to tapping into his potential. In a contract year, might as well develop the young’uns.

A backup QB candidate that I liked watching NFL Network was Easton Stick (Chargers)

Not saying this is what it was, but have you ever had a stinger?

The plan was to get rid of the ball quickly and sit down, it seems:

Gonna be an interesting decision. Rhule likes him, and I have yet to see why.

FINAL PRESEASON STATS: Note: Grier also ran for more yards Those of you wanting Walker---after you exhaust the excuses, am I missing something here? Why is this hard? Grier won--by 30 percentage points.

I have no excuse. Fell asleep at 11 on a Sat night.

Best to forget about QB Semetary, I tell ya. They come back, but they ain't the same. “And the most terrifying question of all may be just how much horror the human mind can stand and still maintain a wakeful, staring, unrelenting sanity.”

Only nerds and losers are up before 6:30 on Sunday morning. We are pathetic.

Wasn't Weinke like 30 when we drafted him? I do not think the Temple thing is a factor. Grier won the battle, and you want the iron that is forged when the heat is the hottest. I do not see keeping both duds--we keep 1 or neither.

^^^^^^^ Dumbassery.

Coach Simmons has done a great job with the secondary. I was totally impressed. Horn: We have a #1 CB--a lockdown for the first time maybe ever. Still, loving his swag so far. We have an alpha male at CB now (see Sherman, Richard--only a better athlete) Jackson: Playing so much better (so far) than last year. Hartsfield: From undrafted free agent to a solid nickel. Good athlete and we are tapping into his athleticism at the nickel spot. I am pulling for this guy. Thomas-Oliver III: Perhaps the most improved player on the team from last year (if you do not count Hartsfield). I have been very impressed. Taylor: I watched some Washington tape--blah. They have him giving less cushion and planting and meeting the WR when the ball arrives. He has been solid and is going to be a player. Chandler: Has been balling. Seems to understand the game. Robinson: A nose for the ball. Reminds me of a Safety version of Josh Norman. Hard headed as a rookie, in the dog house, but when the light comes on, it will shine brightly. Chinn: May be much better at S than I thought. Man he is all over the field. Burris, Franklin, Bouye, Melvin-I did not see much from them, which is not necessarily a bad thing. This group is the most improved unit on the team from last year. Hats off to the coaches.
