Kid has done more than justify that he shouldn't just be guaranteed a spot on the practice squad.  I would be  disappointed if he doesn't make the 53 man roster over Daeshon Hall.   

 

 

Just like I was saying 2 years ago, Byrd has that it factor that hunger.

Efe Obada moves likes LB and he can play inside with his size. The dude is strong, has a very quick first step and can run down fast QBs/RBs. I was his biggest fan last preseason and he has only gotten better.

If he does not make the roster I will be disappointed but he will definitely make it next year.

Obada is going to be solid.

I see what you are saying.  Hall has only been effective on stunts--but I would say way too early to give up on him.  His strength was his biggest issue--so maybe he gets another hang nail  and goes to IR (weight room) for another year.  Obada can stay on the PS without costing us a spot-

I like what we have in the oven at DE--Haynes, Hall, Cox, Obada---if Horton, Peppers, and Addison can hold down the fort for a while, we could be solid. 

I still say way too early to give up on Hall.  He is slowly improving and has a high ceiling.  Obada had a good preseason for sure.

Give Obada a few more years to develop and he could become a very solid rotational end.

Its now or never. I would be surprised if he doesn't make the team, and if he doesn't someone else will enjoy his service.

My question is,

Do you think Obada is as good or better than Horton

And if so would you be willing to cut a Horton to make room for Hall

 

Its just hard to bite and cut Hall.  Dude was a 3rd round pick with tons of potential and had to sit out his rookie season last year with a injury.

I think if our future is Haynes, Hall, Cox and Obada, the future could be more than a bit troubling.

I wonder how much of the Efe love is based on the story and a few splash plays.  I'm guessing the coaches are looking at all of the snaps and looking also at things like keeping contain on run plays and such.

I'll be honest I haven't really took time to watch the game and just focus on him every play.

    • There is an argument that his dad's name has been a ball-and-chain.  Shedeur hasn't acted entitled at all while he's been in this league. He's actually been saying the right things from all the reports I've heard. He's still a young guy, so solid maturity is going to take a little while. I agree that his body of work is very scant, but comparatively to other rookies with two or three starts, he's looked better. He isn't supposed to be perfect, but he's definitely shown a little promise. Perhaps with more starts he will improve. I don't think that's exactly going out on a limb to say that...
    • Some of this is just brainstorming/throwing poo against the wall, seeing as how we have one of the least talented QB rooms in the league.  We need a talent infusion badly.  I feel Shedeur has the prerequisite talent athletically and as a passer, and I have since his college career.  Do I think he will actually be traded this offseason?  99% not likely.  On one hand, he’s proven to likely be the best QB on their roster.  On the other, they, and no other team wanted to take a chance on him for 4 rounds, so there has to be a price they would be willing to part ways with him for.  That’s why I brought up the Joe Milton situation as an example.  He was drafted to a team who took another rookie QB much earlier in the draft, spent his rookie year with them, then was traded before his second year for a relatively low value.  But, again, I also think the attention Shedeur naturally garners makes teams uncomfortable about rostering him if he’s not a starter. I don’t think we trade for him, and I don’t think the Browns trade him anywhere.  That being said, this is a message board.  Possibilities are fun to discuss and we’re here for discussion. also,I’m talking about a trade for a mid-late round pick for a talented QB/developmental QB on his rookie deal; that is the antithesis of the Matt Flynn situation.  He had a solid couple games in GB and Seattle broke the bank on him and he bombed big time.  That’s a valley of difference between the situations.
    • I'm content to see how the next 4 games play out. Mostly because there are no other options! These are certainly more important games than at the same time last year...let's just see what happens. It's exhausting constantly yelling about Bryce. He's here, will almost certainly be our starter next year as well. Nothing to do but sit back and watch, and have faith that DM and DC will make the best move available for the future success of the team. They've done a good job so far. Way better than anything else coming out of Carolina for the last 8 or so years.
