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.

      The Cavalry is Coming

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I'm super excited about the guys we're getting back, and fortunately this year, outside of Robert Hunt, we haven't had any season-threatening injuries. Rico has earned the start, but I am excited to have both available.  The team is finally turning into the run-first team Canales said he wanted to be. As for JT Sanders, I think he has lost the most be being out. He is probably our best receiving TE, but with the emergence of Mitchell Evans & with him and Tommy Tremble both absolutely balling in run blocking, it will be hard to fix something that isn't broken. I'm hoping Turk Wharton can help with our pass rush. We really havent gotten to see him much due to injuries, but we desperately need anyone to provide some pass rush juice, which is what he was brought to do. I'm the most excited about Jalen Coker returning. Theilen may have been the most clutch last year, but I've watched a lot of film, and Coker was the most consistent WR we had when he was out there last year.  I think he can be an ideal #2 to Tmac. While Coker doesn't have the raw athleticism XL does, his route running, savvy, and overall football IQ simply make him better.  I think with the fact Coker can play both outside and in the slot will give our pass game more versatility.  We have been running a lot of 2 TE sets, and I think Tmac & Coker should be the primary WRs for 12 personnel. The other WRs (XL, Tremayne, Renfrow, & Horn) all have roles, but I dont think any of them can fully replace what Coker can do. I do think Renfrow will be inactive this week if everyone is healthy bc of how valuable Tremayne is for ST and as a run blocker. So happy that we are playing meaningful football heading into November. We are still almost certainly a year away, but we are absolutely moving in the right direction

      Better than a fragile starter, though
