Rashaan Gaulden Deserves Some Props


Seltzer

Recommended Posts

He had a very solid night tonight.  Maybe with the signing of Tre Boston, he doesn't feel the pressure of being a square peg trying to pushed in a round hole (even though he was lined up at safety on some of his nice plays).

Regardless, he looks like he can be an impact player, which is something few were expecting after last year.  In fact, he seemed to outplay Boston tonight by some margin.  

I'm hoping our overall depth at both safety and cornerback is going to be a pleasant surprise this year.

I'm hoping with this Front 7 we just need safeties who aren't liabilities

It would have to be really good. I hope our secondary holds their own this year. Need both units to play if we want turnovers.

Gaulden looked like he was doing everything he could to earn a roster spot. That's a really good sign. He has the physical skills and is a really smart guy, if he can keep that willingness going through the grind of the next three weeks, he's got a shot.

And Boston... I know this was just his third time in pads with us so far, but he sure was making some "business decisions" on some of those plays. I hope he's willing to be more physical once the season starts.

    • And that makes you right. 
    • Mel Kiper said he would retire if Jimmy Clausen wasn't a successful NFL starter too. Just because the experts make a claim doesnt mean it's true either.  Bryce may be a serviceable QB for someone. Serviceable QBs don't bring you a perennial winner or lead you to the playoffs over and over. Serviceable QBs also dont get 50m plus per year deals which is what a Bryce extension would look like.  The stats show he hasn't been even a serviceable QB in the 3 years he's been here. The eye test shows he hasn't put together 2 franchise QB salary games back to back in 3 years.  Complain all you want about people being negative, but people pointing out that Bryce is held to a different standard than anyone else on the team isn't complaining. It's stating the obvious. 
    • We have big bodied WRs and 3 TEs who all have potential and each bring something different to the table. I never saw the need to go out there and try and find a new starting TE.  While it's nice to have a guy like McBride, Bowers, etc, I think a team's better use of the cap is by having TEs on rookie contracts or cheap vets, not having to pay elite TE money.
