So we cut Marlon Favorite and kept Hilee Taylor?

I'm still scratching my head as to why we cut Marlon Favorite and kept Hilee Taylor?

I was sure the drafting of both Charles Johnson and Everette Brown and signing of Brayton were all signals that the Hilee Taylor experiment was over... but I guess not. I'm not saying Taylor is no good - but with our need at DT compared to our lack of need at DT - and Favorite flashing some ability, I'm suprised we made this move....

I'm thinking they will use Brayton in a duel role. If Brayton is a hybrid player, then Taylor isn't really the fifth DE no more than we have only three DTs at this point. I know it's a stretch, but the team loves versatility and it helps the overall roster numbers. Not to mention Peps may line up as a DT at times this year like he did last season. My point is nine D-lineman is the number the team obviously wants to keep and a couple of our ends able to line up inside from time-to-time obviously helps that situation.

Chances are Taylor will be inactive a lot unless *knocks on wood* the 'I' word becomes an issue. That's really no different than Favorite being inactive. Granted, I liked Favorite too and chances are he'll be coming back to the pracitce squad.

Honestly, theres' not a whole lot of differnce between the 53 man roster and the PS if you are one of the eight players that hardly, if ever, dress.

we needed someone with experience there. hayden still could be cut depending on what shows up at DT.

as much potential as favorite has, he wasn't going to help the team win....at least not yet.

they have plans to go after at least one experienced DT. experienced > potential at the moment.

Maybe because Fox and Hurney could see past the LSU/SEC bullshit that people spew 24/7 about how the SEC has the best NFL talent. Hilee Taylor is got a lot of talent and once he gets his chance to showcase that talent everyone will forget all about Favorite. UNC and the ACC put out talent that's just as good if not better than the SEC.

Go Heels!

Yeah I do but I'm tired of people acting like Hilee Taylor is a bum, there is a reason we kept him last season and that's the same reason we kept him again this season. He's got the potential to be a very good DE once Peppers and Brayton are gone.

I wasn't saying he was a bum, heck - another guy with a last name = Taylor came out of UNC and was pretty darn good.

All I was saying is that when you compare what we have at DE with what we have at DT, it seems to me that it would have made more sense to keep Favorite and cut Taylor.

Both of those happened well before Taylor was picked up in the draft last year. Pass rushers with speed are a premium, why Favorite was cut, I'm not sure, guess he didn't cut it in Foxhurny's eyes.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.

      Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.

      Totally possible imo, I also caught that snippet from Morgan where he said “If” we sign him. The lack of competition says otherwise tho 🤷‍♂️
