Bare min you need to sign a guy getting 900,000+ to replace. Each was already paid, so its like buying takeout and throwing it away to go to the grocery store. 

Should have kept both and even djax and cut them after this year. Boz can play OG and backup C. Hurst can be a #2(if his injuries are over). Djax played the lead CB role after horn went down.

Bad beginning to Morgans era. 

You are getting emotionally connected to players of little significance.

Hurst was fuging HORRIBLE. Literally the worst TE on the roster. Bozeman was consistently one of our bottom two OL every week in the scheme we were running(similar to this year).

And Jackson was a good player but the future after that Achilles is probably a little bleak. He was overpaid for what we got in the end, although mainly due to injuries.

I don't mind moving on. How in the world Thomas made it I will never be able to explain.

If we struggled schematically in what we were runningast year, he would struggle this year too. He is a square peg. It just is what it is.

Moving him around isn't going to change that.

That's true, he still can fill backup C and LG role. But they are paying him to leave. Im a value nut and that kills me. I don't feel some UDFA or min FA can offer what boz has even if its bad fit.

Itty, bitty cap savings, little purchasing power in FA due to Burns and only six draft picks, yet we are creating more holes.   I get the roster needs a make over, but if we keep cutting able bodied guys at even fringe starter quality and absorbing 99% of their cap hit just to be anywhere but here, then we are tanking.  There's no question about it.  What a fugged up year to tank.

Lol at the PSL holders who got their ticket prices jacked up to watch the 2024 tank show.

Not trying to be insensitive to those that have chosen to pay for season tickets this year (mad respect because that’s real dedication) but you had to see the rebuild coming.  It’s been multiple years in the making.  I hardly think that the roster overhaul caught anyone by surprise, let alone those that pay to watch all of the home games.

I think that's the problem, he really can't fill a backup role. You can't have your backup come in and just get blasted on just about every play. That's how we ended up digging in the dumpster so often last season. 

Sadly, we aren't going to struggle to find a vet minimum player that is better than Bozeman. He just did not fit this scheme at all. It was PAINFULLY obvious when you saw him play under Wilks versus under Reich.

That's true as well. No question- boz and Hurst played awful. 

Thomas wins again, beyond me how HE gets to stay. I didn't even want him to resign for min after his rookie contract was up. Terrible and hated hated he got 3 years 18mill to prolong this "potential" BS. There was not much dead cap if cut either, more saving. He's got to have one of the best agents around. I dub him a "Morgan dawg" now....

As I said earlier today here, Thomas is the new Bersin. His ability to keep sticking around defies all logic and reasoning. 

No one will ever probably be able to explain that to the fanbase. I don't think there is any possibility that a real explanation exists.

Let's see if there's an actual rebuild.

You tag and trade Burns if you're rebuilding. You also don't trade for anyone.

I wish I knew the answer, he is so damn strong, aggressive and physical there has to be a way for him to work.   But thinking he is athletic enough to play zone is perplexing. 

Ekwonu ran a sub-5.0 40. 97th percentile for all offensive tackles. His athleticism is his best trait. He’ll be fine in any run-blocking scheme ever devised. It’s the other kind of blocking that gives him trouble.

Agree but to me Thomas is a greater mystery.  Bersin's ceiling was at best, a bottom of the roster guy and was always paid as such (as I recall but I may be incorrect on this).  Thomas' ceiling is at best a bottom of the roster guy that gets paid like he produces but doesn't.

      Kicker

      By TD alt · Posted

      Well, they're both in the same league (if you will). During preseason, Fitz went 3/3 & Sauls went 5/6, but of course Sauls was 4/4 last night (including one 50+). Both were Lou Groza Award finalists. I believe Fitz made two 55+ yarders last season, while Sauls led the nation with three. Fitz was 13/13 (💯) while Sauls was 21/24 (87.5). Fitz was a 3rd-Team AP All-American, while Sauls was a PFF All-American.  Career-wise, Fitz was 58/74 (78.4), while Sauls was 52/64 (81.3). I wish that I could see the attempts and knew the depth of yardage. I wish that we could compare practice kicks during their training camps, but we can't. Maybe someone with a PFF/CFF account can give that Basically it's just a matter of belief I guess. Seeing dude knock down four FGs and go perfect during a pressure-filled game for him is damned impressive if you ask me. I don't believe that Fitzgerald could do that.  That being said, I'd have to know more. I will say that it may be worth mentioning that we seem to like PFF this year and Sauls being a PFF All-American may be notable. Now that being said, the Panthers may not be even considering Sauls.

      By mrcompletely11 · Posted

      Ive said it 1000x times on here.  Our 2025 season will be dictated by the first 4 games.  poo the bed there and lose all confidence and momentum, we win 5 games maybe.  Go 2-2, 3-1 we got a look at 7/8 wins

      Preseason over..2025 predictions

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I basically made almost the exact predictions on a phone call with a buddy about 3 weeks ago. I really do expect Evero gone before the seasons end, Young to just not able to get over the hump enough and DC to head into next season on a VERY hot seat.
