All of these guys suck.

Looks like we're going with Hawkins as our backup LT

Melvin White waived by the Vikings Thursday. I remember liking his potential better than Normans (he always looked good the first ten yards, especially in press. Just lacked NFL top speed) 

Melvin had some terrific plays. Famous plays. A touchdown to win the division vs. Atlanta and a forced fumble against the Cardinals in the playoffs to turn the game in our favor. But he did get burned regularly.

Thanks for posting.  The only one that surprises me is Willie Smith.  I know he was a recent signing, so it's not too surprising to see "last in - first out,"  but with our need for veteran OT depth, the fact that he had actual NFL playing experience made me think he might stick around.  Hopefully his being cut means that Hawkins is improving, or that they have their eye on someone else.

Glad to see Foucault gone.  Didn't have ANY confidence in him at all, even as emergency O-line backup.

I'm predicting our next 4 roster moves will be putting Trenton Robinson and Leonard Johnson on IR.

That would leave us with 2 more cuts. I'd say TE Eric Wallace and DE Larry Webster.

I wonder if a player like Rakim Cox also might get sent to IR.  We can do it safely at the cut deadline without having to expose him to waivers.

Agree that Eric Wallace could very likely be one of the cuts before Tuesday.  I think Webster has been injured?  So wondering if he too could be an IR move?

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
