Preseason Game 4 - Who made the team?


TheSpecialJuan

Recommended Posts

Hood didn’t play so I think he made it... so CAP or Barner if we keep 4?

Barner returned better than Byrd so I would say Barner stays over Byrd if we have to choose between a 4th running back or 6th receiver,.. 

Kyle Allen made a case for number 2, he looked poised and on point for the last half of the game... the other two SUCK,..they suck....

not sure about the rest.

Also didn't play against Pats. I don't see how he can make the team. If Rivera keeps him as one of "his guys", it's a slap in the face to everyone else that has fought tooth and nail to try to make the team.

Believe Rivera made a statement this week that insinuated he was safe in terms of making the team... not something to get excited about, but he probably is still one of the best CB's on the team unfortunately.

The DB group reminds me of the WR group in 2014.  A solid rookie with a lot of potential in Jackson, and a collection of other guys.  Except maybe Bradberry, who I think can bounce back.

Certainly not a group that inspires a lot of confidence.  Hopefully our Front 7 can mitigate some of their deficiencies.

Doss has looked like one of the better CBs this whole preseason and should make it over Seymour.

on 53

- Damiere Byrd 

- Andre Smith

- Bryan Cox jr

CUT

- Blaine Clausell

- Daeshon Hall

- Chris Manhertz to IR  - we go with 2 TE's

I'm excited about the potential of Smith and Cox, and Byrd has proven his worth as a returner and as a WR

Clausell is garbage, although I think he has a shot to make the initial 53 and maybe even last a few weeks b/c of depth and injuries.

Hall has been a disappointment, although I hope we could stash him on PS and develop him.  

I can see no reason to keep Manhertz when Armah is a superior blocking and Thomas has infinite more potential

Doss got caught up in a numbers crunch on a loaded Denver secondary and then cut to make a point, but yeah I think he has more potential than Seymour.  Seymour has seemed to regress most of time here

This final game has shown me we should only carry 5 CBs in Bradberry, Jackson, Captain, Elder and Doss so that we can carry an 11th lineman. It'll actually be 10, but Williams will count for 24 hours until we are allowed to put him on IR if we plan on bringing him back this season. 

LT: Matt Kalil - Blaine Clausell
LG: Greg Van Roten - (Brendan Mahon)
C: Ryan Kalil - Tyler Larsen
RG: Trai Turner - #Jeremiah Sirles# 
RT: Taylor Moton - #Adam Bisnowaty# - +Darryl Williams+

* = Draft Pick
# = Free Agent
() = Undrafted Free Agent
+ = IR Designated to Return

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
