Glad Foucault is gone.  I thing against the guy, he's just not an NFL caliber OT. Wasn't he originally a high draft pick in the CFL? I could see him go on to have a nice career up north, he's just not NFL caliber. 

First pick.

Man, how pissed would you be if you threw away the #1 overall pick on a guy who never even suited up for you? 

But, I assume that team probably still holds his CFL rights, so if he does decide to head up north I guess they'll end up getting him, just a few years later.

Biggest surprise is Deaver, right? Really thought he had a shot.

Don't understand why we haven't waive/injured Robinson yet.

I'm guessing we want him on the IR, so perhaps they'll wait to the cut deadline, like we did with KB last year, meaning he doesn't have to be exposed to waivers.

Hill apparently looked pretty good until he tweaked his knee that first week.

Yes, even with his knee, he looked like a much better player (in terms of making catches) early in OTAs, but it was clear he wasn't ready.  It was too much for his knee..  If he was catching well his size and speed made him a really interesting prospect.

So tough for him.  I'm glad he was on the team to help KB rehab.  I hope he recovers fully and is able to succeed somewhere.

It's possible, but he was only on a 1-year deal, so there's really not much incentive to do so. My guess is they were just using his roster spot for one of the safety tryouts, and that just fell through. I wonder if the remaining four cuts might be waive/injured guys like Robinson, Dixon, Ball, and Scifres.

Actually, I think he was the #5 overall pick. So, there's a small consolation in that one, but hope he does well in the CFL. Like everyone's said, he just wasn't NFL material.

Guess Voth really was onto something, when he was the first to report that Stephen Hill wasn't looking good in Spartanburg

Foucalt? Fouc him. He's the one that went too hard in a pass rush drill and wrecked Chas Alecxih's knee. What's that aboot, eh? Stupid foreigner played LT like he was wearing skates, so he oughta go back to Canadia and play their national sport, hockey. Thanks for not learning a d*mn thing about real football in 3 years

Foucalt comments: Real or sarcasm? That's entirely on you, fellow Huddlers

    • 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.
    • 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. 
    • 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.
