Ed Dickson is a terrible option next to Olsen, and he has proven that. If we are going to use him as our FB I would think someone has lost their mind. This is why I wanted us to draft a solid #2 tight end in this last draft class, because it was stacked at that position. Nope!

2018 class will be better

Last I heard, Corn was only out a month or two from the time he went out with the injury.  Not saying he would be a world beater withh all of that time missed, but a lot of people were excited to have him.  And for Armah to have made it to the active 53 in the first place tells us the staff think he can contribute...  it's why this is so baffling to me.  I know the FB isn't as important as it used to be, but we certainly ran a lot of plays with them lead blocking in the preseason...  Idk, maybe it signals we will go singleback/pass heavy in week 1?

But yeah, the 2 kickers thing...  And now announcing that Gano will start in week 1? Really, really dumb and a waste of a roster spot.  Cut or trade Gano and move on.

Not sure where you heard that about Corn. We've been saying for a month he's going to be IRed. I've touched on the Armah thing way too many times in these threads to repeat it. Check the thread about the FBs if you're interested in knowing. Short version = Dickson was always going to be the lead blocker in the Iformation this season.

Why is it you thought he'd be IRed and Jeremy thought he'd be ready to roll soon?

He's been a poor blocker, especially for a second TE where that's his only job. He's a better receiver than blocker, though that's not saying a ton or helping us when we mainly have him block.

He sure looked pretty good blocking on that CMC TD vs the Titans and that first drive against the Jags. Has he done much blocking out of the backfield before this season?

Not sure what the obsession with Alex Armah is about.

Think this thread is more about dumping Young and relying on Dickson in that role than Armah. Jeremy never alluded to Armah being ready to contribute on offense this year.

I can't answer for anyone else other than us. Short version = he hasn't practiced once and there was never any real timetable for his return from injury. 

I was just curious about the difference in opinions. Hope he's ready to come back next year and challenge for the second CB spot

    • Right, so basically what I said in my first post about this last night. Tepper needs to use that big wallet of his in one of the few ways it can be used in the NFL given the cap.   Give Scourton a bigger signing bonus but not a fully guaranteed deal. Everyone wins in that scenario as if Scourton is smart and hires good money people, he'll take that bigger signing bonus and use it to make more money in the end over the next 4 years than if he just had his fully guaranteed deal and a smaller signing bonus.
    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ
