The 2018 Season is Almost here.....do we?


Recommended Posts

Russell Shepard should've been cut that first day of moves when we released Stew and Coleman. I have no idea why he's still on the roster. He's owed a $375k roster bonus. I doubt that will have much of an impact on whether or not we cut him. We could pay that out and still save $1.7M by releasing him.

Shep will get cut with post June 1st designation as soon as we add another WR in FA or by trade like Crabtree OR when we draft one in the first 4-5 rounds. But not until that guy is on the roster. Say what you will but having Shep as a #5 is better than many other options, if it came to that. I think we will upgrade still in FA and/or draft but in the off chance it doesn't work out and fall that way then we have Shep as insurance and on ST.

Honest to god, I'd rather have Bersin out there than Shepard.

Shepard played in nearly a third of our offensive snaps and converted that playing time into 17 catches for 202 yards and 1 TD. That's terribad.

    • Also, the fact we are comparing this one to the 10 preseason tells me we are in for another horrible year. 
    • Well, they're both in the same league (if you will). During preseason, Fitz went 3/3 & Sauls went 5/6, but of course Sauls was 4/4 last night (including one 50+). Both were Lou Groza Award finalists. I believe Fitz made two 55+ yarders last season, while Sauls led the nation with three. Fitz was 13/13 (💯) while Sauls was 21/24 (87.5). Fitz was a 3rd-Team AP All-American, while Sauls was a PFF All-American.  Career-wise, Fitz was 58/74 (78.4), while Sauls was 52/64 (81.3). I wish that I could see the attempts and knew the depth of yardage. I wish that we could compare practice kicks during their training camps, but we can't. Maybe someone with a PFF/CFF account can give that Basically it's just a matter of belief I guess. Seeing dude knock down four FGs and go perfect during a pressure-filled game for him is damned impressive if you ask me. I don't believe that Fitzgerald could do that.  That being said, I'd have to know more. I will say that it may be worth mentioning that we seem to like PFF this year and Sauls being a PFF All-American may be notable. Now that being said, the Panthers may not be even considering Sauls.
    • Ive said it 1000x times on here.  Our 2025 season will be dictated by the first 4 games.  poo the bed there and lose all confidence and momentum, we win 5 games maybe.  Go 2-2, 3-1 we got a look at 7/8 wins
