Lee Ward / Artis Payne Combo

I agree totally. I would even take it a step further and say " I just want to see more Lee Ward" as full back period. How about Lee and Wegher, Lee and Stewart, it's 4th down and goal, ball is on the 2 yard line...no problem...Lee Ward and Mike Tolbert. If ward doesn't make the 53 man roster over Richie Brockel I will be pissed. I'm no NFL talent scout but I can see we have something special in Mr. Lee Ward, gotta make room for Brandon Wegher too! Tough decisions are ahead for DG.

This.  Brockels time has played out. If he makes the 53 over Ward I'm gonna be real upset with this coaching staff. Ward brings something to the team it needs a real punishing blocking FB.

Brockel just taking up a roster spot.  Does nothing special

Waive Folkerts,  use Remmers as backup center,  Williams as backup RT,  keep Ward and Brockel? 

I like this scenario but rather than keep brockel, keep wegher. I just have a good feeling about Wegher and Ward. I just don't think we need both ward and brockel.

I am with the "What exactly does Brockel actually do?" camp.  I know that he is versatile, is a fair to good blocker, but Ward punishes.  The "eye in the sky" don't lie, people.  I am sure that Rivera, a former LB, appreciates a stud FB when he sees one.

Unfortunately or strategically, there will be injuries (actual or not) that put players on the IR.  Ward will find a roster spot.

    • The question is which Bryce shows up game 1. Do we get week 2 (2024) Bryce, or week 18 (2024) Bryce?  I will say that his progression after the benching last year was amazing. He literally got better every game - sans Dallas. Like every week he did something we hadn't seen him do before. And it wasn't luck, toss it up for grabs plays like Penix did against Carolina. Penix was just throwing the ball as hard as he could in the direction of a receiver and hoping they'd make a play for him. What we saw from Bryce was different. Decision making, reading defenses, recognizing blitzes and where they were coming from, knowing his hot, avoiding pressure and manipulating the pocket, throwing with anticipation, taking shots downfield, and running the ball surprisingly well. Stats don't always tell the story. Did he miss some throws that he should have made - sure did. But the clutch gene is strong with this one. One score game and Carolina has the ball with 2 minutes on the clock - I'm confident he'll give them a chance to win more than he doesn't. 
    • I really like David Moore. He's a reliable WR. Smart, doesn't drop the ball and he's where he's supposed to be. Now, he ain't gonna route up a DB. He ain't gonna 50/50 ball a DB. He ain't gonna run by a DB either. But he runs a good enough route and catches the ball - definitely an NFL average WR. Every team could use a David Moore. Now if this receiving group can force Dan and Dave to let him go, then this team has come a long way since 2023. A LONG way. But I will say that Horn's speed is a big deal. They don't really have another guy with speed and quickness to blow the top off the defense and make guys miss in space after the catch, though he is still a rookie and hasn't done it in the NFL. If he and Renfrow push Moore out, then we might actually have something gents. Plus I see Renfrow as Thielen's replacement in 2026. I just don't think Coker is the reliable, move the chains guy like Thielen. Could be wrong.
