Not talking about competing to be a starter, just competing for a roster spot.

As to Grier, it's not so much my opinion that's in question as it is Matt Rhule's.

The front office might have a say as well.  

I would think that if Ruhle watches any film from last year, it would be slam dunk keeping Allen over Grier as the backup.  Even with our horrible performances over the last 6 games, Allen looked like he had the potentiall to be a decent backup, while Grier looked like he will soon be the guy who got to play a couple of games in the NFL before he gets stated on whatever his career will be.

Rhule has been said to like Grier in part because of his stellar performance against Baylor two years ago.

And of course, there are always coaches who see a player underperforming and think "if we just work with that guy, he could be a lot better".

Like I've been saying, Rhule is a real wild card right now.  You might as well call the Psychic Friends Network (if they've come out of bankruptcy yet).

Is there no one else in pro football better than this guy?

is the point not to improve the roster?

Every NFL team has several guys at the bottom of the roster that are probably only there because...well, they're ours.

Meh, he is not going to say bad things about him.  His words in this case probably don't mean much at this point.

Welp, I was wrong about this one. I assumed that they would have already signed him if they wanted to keep him since many teams had signed their ERFAs and there’s zero contract complications and they don’t come any cheaper.

Not going so much off of his words as speculation from Insiders. Mind you, that could be wrong too.

It's basically one of those "back of my mind" things.

To be fair, Rhule was referring to Grier's play while at West Virginia.  I'm pretty sure he's not of the same opinion now if he's seen last year's tape.

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.
