I'd figure Jacobs or Colin Jones.

So this means Cash needs to be big on special teams to make his case.

I just don't see letting go of a special teams ace with experience playing with the ones. Cash can't replace Jones' speed as a gunner.

Igo, can you update us on where Sandland and Simonson have been lining up? Like have they been lining up at FB or been on any special teams squads at all? Someone mentioned Sandland had been lining up at FB some. Hopefully that's a good sign he's a good blocker.

so if he makes the team, which LB gets cut for Cash? 

IMO, With us most likely keeping 3 backup OL, that could free up space to keep both Cash and Jacobs. That would depend if they feel they need to keep Jacobs so that special teams doesn't take a hit.

They only way we can keep all 7 LBs (Luke, TD, Shaq, AJ, Jacobs, Mayo, Cash) is to only roll with 4 DTs and 5 DEs. I just don't know if 7 LBs is necessary. I don't know who of Jacobs, Mayo, Cash would be the one to get cut though. I guess that's what the pre-season is for.

It's going to be a tough decision for the staff.

I know it's not popular to cut draft picks but I think Cash's upside is alot higher than David Mayo. I believe that Cash has the skill set that can transition into one of the better special team players on are team. Plus I think there is a greater chance Mayo makes it to the practice squad with out being claimed.

      Rags lost again. All is right in the hockey world.

      It’s time to discuss DANimal Morgan as our GM

      He’s responsible for two drafts classes. The first was one of the worst drafts I’ve ever seem. The second one is showing a ton of promise. I’m somewhere between skeptical and hopeful on Morgan.

      I'm a big fan of Dan. His ability to find productive players deep in the draft will pay off.  I'm going to give him 1.5 draft classes right now, because I do think it's a little unfair to evaluate his first year when he got the job in January, especially when we went into that draft not having a first round pick.  XL and Brooks are still big time TBD players. Both still have incredibly high ceilings, but both have also given us legitimate reasons to have a lot of pause. Trevin Wallace, Chau Smith Wade and Jatavion Sanders have IMO outplayed their draft position early in their careers. That's a great thing. He also got Coker and Demani Richardson as UDFAs that year. Given the situation we were in, I really don't mind the gamble on the high ceiling guys. Still may work out, still may not, but if you made a checklist of ideal situation for an NFL GM to walk into, ours was near the bottom of that list.  Every single 2025 pick is contributing in some way. That typically doesn't happen. I am absolutely blown away by this draft class 6 games in. Even the best GM's miss on occasion, and we can't expect Dan to be 100% on drafts moving forward. Ryan Fitzgerald was an excellent find as well.  Comparing our last two drafts to the previous few is pretty shocking. Can you imagine this season without our Rookies? It would not be good. Additionally, this roster only has 6 players with more than 6 years of experience, and two of those are specialist.  The next step is equally important, and still very much TBD. We have to avoid Cap Chaos.
