We're not gonna find an upgrade with whoever is left out there. No. Just no.

Most of us clamoring for tackles are not talking about an upgrade for Oher, Remmers & Williams.  They're all servicable.  But the problem is there is not any backup behind them.

Imagine a scenario where Remmers gets injured and has to miss 2 - 3 games...  So, we put in Williams.  Who then is your backup tackle?

Behind Oher, Remmers & Williams we have guys with either NO NFL experience at tackle, or VERY BAD experience (Foucault) at tackle.

It's a BACKUP many of us are crying for.  Doesn't have to be great, just better than what we've got, which is pretty much nothing.

Both of these WR's are 26 and have bounced around the league their entire careers. Surely they are not going to beat out guys like Stephen Hill or Kevin Norwood. 

Much like Capers, they were brought in strictly so our 3 rookie CB's can practice against them.

I had hopes that Bonnet would take over the "Brockel" role that is still vacant. Feels like good news for Sandland and Rockhead.

So three of our already league-low 7 UDFAs from after the draft are already gone (Stoshak and these two), leaving only Cash, Johnson, Garrett, and Norris. Though we have added a few others.

At this point, every time we try to figure out what is going on, or get stoked about a new pick up, they go and shuffle the deck again.

I think I'm going to just sit back and watch until we get to training camp. Something tells me there will be a few more shuffles yet to come.

Someone pass the popcorn.

Can Kugbila play tackle?

[jdpanther5]

Oh and, more receivers...I just knew when we were at 88 players we were gonna bring in one more to get us to 12 (Capers), but then we add two more.

So, here's the burning question.  What nicknames will the two Byrds on the WR corps have to distinguish them?  Given the size difference, one could think the new Byrd could go by Big Byrd....  and maybe Damiere is Road Runner?!

My guess would be they are bringing as many options through as they can to assess and build up a list of guys for in season injury plans for practice squad and such

Unfortunately, if your starting tackle gets hurt, your offensive line is compromised regardless. That goes for 95% of teams out there. Not everybody can be Dallas in terms of OL wealth. We'll stick with Foucault for continuity and hope he blossoms into something solid. That's the reality. 

I disagree if  DG where able to find Mike Remmers , we can find another OT that can be serviceable after teams starts trimming the roster. 

Serviceable not  Chandler level where you get beat every play.

[Jeremy Igo]

You guys really need to start paying more attention to my roster projection.

I have a serious question, How can they cut 2 TE and sign 2  WR when they have had no practice yet? I am guessing they have classroom work and if they cant learn "X" amount of plays in a certain timeframe they are gone?
