Jewell Out


Yup

The guy will never be a real off ball inside backer. Undersized 3-4 edge who sometimes rushes from the middle of the defense. Tenacious player, probably going to be a solid pass rusher who gives up some in the run game. I like him, but it’s what he is.

Realistically he's a 4-3 OLB, but I think in a 3-4, he's better off as an ILB who can then shift to OLB in some pass rush situations.

Even had we known them I still suspect T-Mac would've been the lick given Walker's own lingering injury issue.

Maybe, and I'd still have been pushing for T-Mac, but I was very loud about being anti Walker because I hated the fit of him as an OLB in a 3-4 with his size.  

Had the discussion been about him being a 3-4 ILB who pass rushes situationally (and realistically, a future OLB when we move back to a 4-3 at some point), I'd have been much more on board with that option.

Sucks for Jewell, but take care of yourself 

Wish we could go back in time and grab Germaine Pratt before he went to Vegas. Time to throw poo against the wall and hope it sticks. If we show any promise early in the season, trade for a guy to bolster the group then.

I'm sorry, but this is not a "shocking" release. I half-expected us to cut him back in March after we signed Rozeboom.

I'm a Trevin Wallace fan and think he can be a solid player for us, but he's far from proven. I also have serious doubts about Rozeboom, so I'm not saying ILB isn't a pretty massive need right now, but to act like Jewel being cut is some huge shock is a little weird, IMO. And I didn't even realize he was as hurt as he apparently is.

I expect us to add another veteran before the season, but realistically this is a hole we're just going to have to work around until the offseason.

    • CJ Stroud is 23 years old and already has 2 more career playoff wins than our legendary backup. It really isn't that up in the air.
    • Good perspective. And it's hard to know what really was the case with CJ vs. Bryce.   I do think Reich's system had basically past its expiration date and we should've obviously recognized that in our search. Coming off Rhule, we all recognized Tepper wanted NFL experience at the helm.  The issue we looked past was that what seemed like a fun assembly of coaches from a bunch of different systems was not the way to approach it.  Thomas Brown was thrown in too soon as OC, way over his head.  Just so many factors at play.  I think it really created chaos and made it a difficult offense to implement.  No cohesive vision/just competing philosophies and coaching.   Then come the start of last season. you're right that Bryce was still super off.  Something had to get shaken out of him.  I would love to see what thing were like behind the scenes during Dalton's starting period that allowed Bryce to really change his game.  He still had messy pocket tendencies but the field vision/timing/awareness definitely shifted wayyy for the better once he was back.   That final 6-7 games were a good indicator, so we'll see how things look to start this one.
    • Or he hires someone worth keeping. This round was leftovers and not even on the radar for other teams.
