Surprise veteran cut?

not a surprise, but munnerlyn is on thin ice.

Not really. He’s been running as our starting nickel all camp so far and has a contract that we can’t really get out of at all this year.

I would have said Munnerlyn but I think with the Cockrell injury his chances of making the team went up big time, since he has experience both as a veteran and in the system, as well as having played on the outside and in the nickel.

I could see Kyle Love being cut if there is another DT either at camp or cut with upside.

If the Manhertz injury lingers, I could see us reaching an injury settlement with him and keeping Olsen, Ian Thomas, and Armah as the 3rd TE/FB.  I think that is contingent on believing there is a 4th RB worthy to keep for ST purposes behind CMC, CJ Anderson, and CAP.

I really don't see any big surprises.  The biggest one to me will be if we really are comfortable rolling with GG as the backup QB.  That to me will be the biggest unknown come cut time.  And the off-chance there is a veteran DB or Oline the coaching staff thinks will be an upgrade.

    • Yep he made the comment " I dont know what they were doing out there at that point" in the press conference. Let's be real they all got paid but they also know his system suppresses there offensive potential.
    • Yup the casuals on Facebook ive gotten 85 laughing or angry emojis so far for pointing it out.  The amount of them throwing a fit because the canes were booed is insane  
    • Why are you so fixated on yards? Even if yards were a good judge of QB play, his low yardage totals in some of those games were partly a function of drops (looking at you Xavier Leggette…).  I’m not advocating that Bryce was elite for the last half of last year, but the eye test certainly supported high level QB play for large stretches. He made a lot of high difficulty, put it on the money/drop in the bucket throws. He converted on 3rd and 4th down, kept drives moving, and put the team in position to win games. And it’s not on him that the defense blew it late after he led game tying drives, Leggette dropped a game winning TD, or Chuba fumbled the ball in OT. We could have finished the season close to .500 with wins against 3 playoff teams including KC and Philly during that stretch largely due to Bryce’s play.    Has he sustained this level of play long enough to deserve an higher ranking? No. But for judging based in that stretch alone, he would. But whether he can perform more consistently at that level or build on that, and thus earns a higher ranking, remains to be seen.
