3 "Bubble players" for Thursday night

I've seen Sandland miss the guy who blows up the run play on Stewart a few times now. If it's really about the best 53 I don't think he's on it.

 

I think people need to go back and look at Wegher's rushing performances from last preseason. He had the one catch in Buffalo and the two nice TD runs but his average over 29 carries was 3.8 yards. Amazing compared to this preseason but still, not great. 

I'm not saying I don't want him, I think he flashed a ton of quickness and tough running despite the numbers, but I think this year's struggle has made people exaggerate last year.

I think we will see all three stay. ST performance is a big deal right now and I think that will keep a roster spot for Wegher. I'm also not sold on Simonson being the guy that stays as the TE3. It's a complicated position, particularly in our system, and no one is expecting a rookie draft pick from the late rounds to bring it all together in one training camp.

And Cash... if you can't see him as the same kind of player that Thomas Davis was coming out of Georgia, then you're missing something important. I believe Shaq Thompson was drafted to be TD's successor, but he's carved out a spot for himself that's too important to shift him out of. Cash embodies that same type of radar-guided missile player that can both layout a receiver and shoot the gap and take down a runner.

Who do I think we'll lose instead of these three? Simonson, Norwood and I think they might even cut loose Bersin, a fellow that would be swept up by a receiver depleted team pretty quickly.

Unless Beau Sandland is really good on ST's, I believe he will be the first healthy Gettleman draft pick to be cut before he plays a single regular season game. Lucas is clearly the better receiver out of all the young TE's and Dickson probably isn't going anywhere. Contrary to popular believe that guy does a lot for this team on offense and ST's.

Wegher, and Cash are safe.  Beau is gone.  Write it down, mark the words, fish sticks and tits.  

I think Wegher and Cash are leaning to the safe side of the bubble, while Sandland looks like a TE looking to be picked up by some TE deficient team.

I agree with Jeremy on this one, crazy enough.  Beau has been so shitty, I don't think anyone would want him.

Sandland is in no danger of being picked up. He was next to last pick in the draft and hasn't shown much on film yet.

Guess I should have said 'hoping' instead of 'looking'. As a bottom of the 7th round rejection, he'd be looking, but likely nobody would be looking his way.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      By frankw · Posted

      Doubling tripling and quadrupling down on this subject in defense of the pick is reminiscent of a certain mindset that has overtaken the political world. This conversation will become less contentious and dragged out to the point of becoming a dead beaten horse if rational minds can simply agree that we made a mistake missed on a potential franchise center and we will learn from it. All this coping is unnecessary.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      Here in lies the rub that the supporting posters continue to ignore. He wasn’t a 2nd round pick in the 2025 class, especially with an ACL tear. It was a dumb pick for any GM who looks ahead to determine values. C and CB were much better values than an injured RB in 2024. If a RB isn’t even playing much in 2024, you have to compare him to 2025. We’re beating a dead horse but only because the defense of the pick is almost comical at this point. We’ve made a ton of poo picks and moves/non trades while Morgan was GM and the assistant GM. It happens, we don’t have to jump through hoops to act like we just had some really bad luck. The 2025 draft class is unknown so far but damn it felt way better afterwards for the first time in a long time. Embrace the potential and stop stamping guaranteed on the box of poo of the 2018-2024 drafts. We are were we aware because of them and 2025 has to hit so we can get past the 7 win max in 7 year hurdle. Also, “flashed his talent” isn’t 9 carries for 22 yards. His one reception for 18 yards isn’t a flash with 11 other touches for 27 yards. He hasn’t proven anything. We have no idea if he’ll contribute in 2026.

      Oh for those tired of the Mannings I have bad news, Peytons son Marshal already has college teams after him and he isn't even in HS until this fall...   I'd wager we have two Mannings in the NFL in 2030
