Gets (Getts) even more complicated if we bring in a FA or two after more cuts are made League wide.

Those are always the most heart breaking cuts for me. Young guys think they made the team only to be cut before the season opener to sign a vet.

Well, just thinking...

Byrd, Bersin, Norwood, and maybe an outside chance of Garrett are definitely fighting for a spot. Cash and Jacobs are fighting for a spot.  Sandland, Simonson and Lucas are vying to be #3. Williams, McClain and Young are all trying to claw out of the bucket. Horton will likely make Delaire expendable. Artis-Payne looks to close out Wegher. And the Lee kid will punt Scifres to the curb. And if punter is excluded, step right up any safety not named Coleman or Boston.

Sounds about right.

Honestly if bersian was cut, not one team would claim him.

That's what's missing for everyone's thinking, what degree other teams are on some of players. Would not surprise me if Garrett made the team as a "red-shirt". I mean making the 10 man practice squad will be hard given this team.

    • Bryce and Dave will determine how many games this team wins next year. It’s not on the WRs. The RBs. LBs. This is about 2 things: 1. Can Bryce continue to come up big in the few key downs that decide most games?  2. Can Canales evolve his play calling to counter punch like the big boys do. Half time adjustments.  teams that score 30+ points on the regular win more games than not. That’s on Bryce and Dave. The offense is top 10 at every position group, save for TE and QB. A baller TE is gravy but not crucial when the receivers are dudes.  The defense is the defense. It’ll be better this season, hopefully by a large margin, but Dave/Bryce is really where it’s at. 
    • Normally I'd wholeheartedly agree with this. But I feel like teams figured out this offense after the Raiders game. Bryce was so inept the first 2 games that we couldn't really even run the offense. Dalton's first game showed what we had. But after that game, coverages got a lot tighter and windows were smaller. When Bryce came back in, his ability to extend plays made a big difference. It's really difficult to stop a QB that can beat/escape 1on1 tacklers. It puts a lot of pressure on the defense when you blitz. And he was completing throws in tight coverage with anticipation. Point being Bryce wasn't throwing to wide open receivers that were schemed open by the offense. Occasionally yes. But not often. 
    • With the additions we've made to our roster combined with the state of the division and the conference as a whole there is no excuse for this team not to make a legitimate push for 8-9 wins. Anything less is honestly inexcusable. There will be no more free passes for being a doormat in this iteration of the league where even mediocre teams are competing for playoff spots.
