Say it ain't so. I hate it, but the way that Getty and Ron do things, you're probably right.

Just think, losing Wegher or CAP and keeping McClain. ***rolls eyes***

With J-Stew's injury history, we may need to keep both. I would hate to lose our big investments, only to have to pick up some JAG mid-season due to lack of depth, or rely on a true change-of-pace back like Fozzy whose frame is not really built for heavy duty.

The J-No thing may have yet another casualty if the rookie corners can't get it together (which they must be having trouble with doing). 

Ugh!

I really wouldn't be surprised if a rb and/or a receiver goes to it with a "hang nail" before final cuts are made. I suspect there are a couple of guys who will not last long at all on the practice squad

imo mcclain is expendable, particularly if tillman returns

Honestly, McClain has proved to be expendable in the sense that not one NFL team picked him up when we cut him last season. He was on the couch until we dragged him up late. Some have suggested that he did a good job upon his return, but not from my perspective. I hope they're just keeping him around to mentor the rookies until the last cuts, but Christmas doesn't come in August.

At RB I wouldn't make Fozzy a lock, I'd like to see Wegher and CAP make it ... Fozzy might be fast but I wouldn't feel comfortable with him being the horse back, CAP and Wegher seem like they can take the punishment of being every down backs 

Fozzy is so well liked by the coaches and the entire team for his play but also in the locker room,  it would take a whole lot for him to be cut.

As intresting as Wegher is,  McClain has made plays, started games, has interceptions and passes defended in the NFL. Wegher is still just an intrigue.

This may or may not be a question by the end of the preseason, RB's have  a way of getting banged up.  Not hoping for injury by any means, but I wouldn't mind shelving Wegher or CAP for another year.  Stew is most likely gone after 16, unless he takes a CJ type pay cut, and I can see Wegher and CAP being good enough to be a RB by committee after this season.

It could be my eyes, but I sure do like Wegher's burst and running "attitude".

I cant believe theyd keep fozzy over two more talented players. Im sorry but Fozzy is an okay 3rd down guy but when stew got injured he was horrible. He couldnt get 3 yards going up the middle and that was a huge problem in the games Stew was out.

We need to make sure we have a RB that can do what we need him to do and i just dont see fozzy being used that much. If we ran more screens, maybe but we dont.

This is my thinking as well. It's kind of rare to go through TC will all of your RB's 100% healthy. They could always use the PUP list to give them a chance to see a player for a while longer, while keeping another player they like.

I would trust CAP as the primary RB if Stew got injured more than I would trust Fozzy but I think Wegher is the odd man out.

I like CAP too, but he did worry me a little with those fumbles last season. BTW, what is with the Fozzy hate? That guy has made some big plays for us and he's obviously a team player.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
