I am going to say it--why are we still trying to develop Deonte Brown? I watched him when he was in this preseason--pretty awful--isn't this year 3 for him?

yes, and I think it could be his best position. (Mays) In my limited viewing, Zavala looked very strong, especially considering he was playing the right side. Jensen is going to be a keeper--pretty solid depth. If the veteran depth we had was Erving, McCray, Tecklenburg, and Jordan, give me the young, hungry, developmental guys.

I am with you. I know that Ekwonu likes him, if that helps.

I don't think Ray or Thurmond have played in the NFL yet. Update: Thurmond 137 total snap counts with 7 tackles--career

If we keep Lee and do not address T, remember what I have been saying---Zavala to LG when Corbett returns and BC to swing OT. If Moton does not rework his 2024 contract ($30m), BC becomes the 2024 RT. Gotta think long term. Lee is only here until Corbett gets back because they need BC at LG for now.

This is not at all what I expected. Bryan Ray, Nick Thurmond make the team. Of course, a lot can happen, but Lee is the swing OT? I think (now) they have to be planning on moving BC to T when Corbett returns.

I can try, but he marches to the beat of his own accordion.

i was shocked to see Blacklock's name -- former first rounder, I think. (40th overall pick)--played very little last season. Classic bust.

Mr Scot is slipping. Just when we counted on him the most too.

He was competing for the starting position at one point.

He got paid

I guess this proves that anyone can look like a genius with the GOAT at QB. BB has always made questionable draft decisions as the de facto GM.

I agree on all counts. Does not know a bear from a Panther--and he plays for the Panthers. Even if you were confused, you could probably guess that a stuffed bear would not be at a Panther game.

Gotta be Thurmond, Lee, and Sullivan--but who is Mabin? Ray? I think they (Mabin, and Ray) will make the roster somehow.

The contract we gave him was ridiculous.

So does that mean 2 players will be cut during practice (before 4 pm)?

That seems to be a double-edged sword. Sure, you are hiding your starters, but the chemistry and game experience keeps the rust away. I dunno--with 17 games, maybe he is onto something.

No idea. Saw his photo on the roster---I was confused.

1 year, $5m--I would say, "no."

In fairness, I think our preseason coverage sucks balls. They spend a LOT of camera time on the sidelines switching to the play just before the snap, then show the replays sparingly. The announcers are talking about 2017. I rarely saw what the defensive backfield was doing and could not see who was in the game at OL for the most part. I got frustrated. And then in the fourth quarter, they grab some established player and have a 10 minute interview with him while the game is being played--those are the people fighting for roster spots--that is when I WANT to be watching preseason football.

D Williams is a veteran who had 4.5 sacks at Denver last year--very familiar with our DC. He makes the roster. YGM has played inside--there is some talk about him being a situational pass rushing 3Tech. If so, his versatility could be valued.

My opinions (no more valued than anyone else's): We are not adding to the TE room this year--we are subtracting, if anything. Sullivan is probably gone with Ricci staying on (I hope) We are going to be looking at CB, RB, and DL--possibly ILB.

Spencer Brown preseason rushing stats: v

At least we can say that we improved today--by cutting Jordan. Addition by subtraction.

I get the feeling that there will be some additions tomorrow.
