Miller and Wylie were the names we hadn't heard yet.

 

And we know they have tryouts set for at least one OL and two QBs.

 

Many more tryout players than that. All the numbers are usually taken at rookie camp. I'll get a roster on Friday.

Oh, I figured there'd be more tryouts.  We've just only heard three names so far (Blitch, Jaeschke and Bonner).

 

I'd love to see Bonner stick as a developmental guy.  Ian Rapoport and Daniel Jeremiah both raved about him a few months back.

If he caught on, he'd instantly become the tallest QB on roster (6'7, somewhere in the 230 to 240 range on weight).  Heck, he'd actually be the tallest player at any position on the roster except for Foucault.

Miller was the guy who had a pick six against Alabama in the Sugar Bowl, which completely turned the game in Ohio State's favor.

I wonder if any of the defensive linemen have a chance to make the team?

I was really upset we didn't go after guys like Rob Crisp, Harris, Lott, Coleman and McBride but maybe they wanted to sign elsewhere. There is still a chance that we could acquire some more guys from other teams if they get cut during the preseason.

    • In all honesty, he should probably get that checked out. It might be (Arnold Schwarzenegger voice) "a tuuumaaa" 
    • Ah yes, my bad. It's easy to forget those handful of games Frank coached. LOL 
    • I've seen the comp a few times, and I feel there is a lot to it. Our situation is a lot like Kansas City was pre-Mahomes (without the HOF HC) Whether you like them or not, D&D are building something here.  They had a strong draft.  The team is slowly coming together, developing some identity, and has some decent blue chip parts.  Brown, Horn, McMillan, and a good OL situation that we should keep fortifying every year.  It's not much yet, but growing.    Bryce is in that Alex Smith spot.  A top draft pick, has never been overly impressive, but you can win games when he's safe with the ball.  You're not winning because of him - maybe once in a blue moon.  From time to time he's shown the ability to orchestrate some plays and lead drives.  I just don't see anything that is like - "oh snap, yeah don't let him go, he's ours".  He'll make a solid/good throw every now and again, but man, it is a struggle a lot of the time to watch.  Some terrible performances to speak of, heck he's already been benched once during year 2.      He should in no way preclude you from flirting with what else is out there.  This is not a marriage.  If you're in position (or trade range) for a guy you REALLY like come draft day, you shoot your shot. If we are in the draft process, and suddenly realize QB3-4 is a guy we really like, that's when you make a modest jump from like 16 to 11 or something like that.  Just like the Bills did for Allen, like the Chiefs did for Mahomes.  This is nothing magical that plants this franchise savior title on them, this is not some stupid trade-- it's an easy trade up to get a guy you like w/a big ceiling.  It's all player dependent and coaching/development driven.  If we don't like a QB, by all means fortify the front-7, get an awesome OLB or ILB prospect.   But we're on year 3, you kind of know what you're getting at this point.  Mostly sub-200 yard performances, low YPA, bad technique, poor mechanics, some decent stuff sprinkled in, but some bad turnover heavy ones that kill the team's momentum.  Again, run with him if there's no complete disaster that happens the remainder of the season, but don't close the door on something better just because of the investment or debatable performances.
