Question about Kugzilla and Amini

[cardiackat88.]

What happens to these guys on the offseason?

Will they be cut, or is too much money invested in them already to give them the boot?

Neither guy contributes anything to the team, and I have all but forgotten they still have a roster spot.

Oh well, I guess the can play Beebop and Rocksteady in the next Ninja Turtles movie....

[Herbert is Sorry]

Didn't Kugbila already get cut or did we bring him back? Amini isn't going anywhere, but he needs to get a lot better. Norwell and Turner are the future at guard. Amini can play multiple positions including tackle in a backup role.

Amini still has a year on his contact and he'll be a backup next year most likely.  Kugbila is gone already I think.

Kugbila is gone already I think.

Guys so worthless no one can remember if he is still on the team.

[Happy Panther]

I thought we sat Kug on the practice squad or something. Too lazy to google it.

 

Which one is Amini again?

[t96]

Kug is on IR. We waived him and nobody claimed him so he went to our IR.

[jdpanther5]

Kugs is on IR.

Amini will be quality depth next year. Kug seems like a lost cause at this point.

[Jackofalltrades]

Let them fight for a spot in TC.

Competition is good.

Amini is not quality depth. He's trash. Maybe his injury had something to do with it but he was so bad this year my eyes bled when I saw him on the field.

[Jeremy Igo]

They did the same thing to Kug that they did to Gafney... But no one wanted him. Go figure.

........ Velasco is quality depth.  Amini is a failed experiment.

They both will compete for a backup spot next year.  People here have been way too unfair to Amini this year.  Basing opinion on how he has played this season is not a good baseline to use.  I think most forget that he was coming off an ACL, and, IMO, probably should have started the year on the PUP.  I don't believe he was ever physically ready to compete on the field.  But he was getting it before his injury last year, so give him time to fully recover, and I think he'll be ok.  Although, he won't get his starting spot back because Norwell and Turner have positioned themselves to be our future at G, Amini can provide good depth if he is healthy.

 

On the other hand, we don't know enough about Kugbila to really know what he can be.  He hasn't really played, so none of us has seen enough to form any kind of intelligent opinion on his ability...and basing it on the fact he came from a small school is small minded.  My biggest issue with him is that he hasn't shown he can stay healthy, and if he can't even make it to preseason, then he may never be someone we can count on.  But there is no reason not to give him a chance to earn a backup role in camp.  If he gets hurt again, then no loss, but if he can stay healthy for the first time, we can actually get a chance to see what we have in him.  Basically, he's a low risk guy that's worth taking a flier on for one more year.

Didn't Amini start his rookie year? Seems like forever ago
