I thought the same...then I checked his contract...we save 3.5 mill over the next 2 years if we cut him.  We'll see.  I was hoping to see more of him in preseason but it is a crowded position.

Is it a crowded position though?

The top 5 separated themselves - Moore, Anderson, Marshall, Moore and Smith.

Everyone else is fighting for a roster spot based on what they bring to STs.

I think we'll get a good indication of how close Rhule / Fitterer think we are to contending for the Playoffs in the next few days.

If they think we're close they'll trade for a starting LB and a starting LG. 

Andre Dillard. LG.??????

Maybe, but $2.5 million of that savings is from next year, which will still be available as long as we cut him before the 3rd league day of 2022 when his roster bonus kicks in. So you're ultimately deciding if you're better off saving $1 million or keeping him as wr depth. With the injury to Shi Smith, unless it really is a very minor thing, I'd probably keep him this year and cut him next year.

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
