Yeah we are on the same page.  I'd rather keep Horn for the potential, but Moore knows the system and is another vet who is decent at special teams as well.  I'd prefer Horn and just stashing Moore on PS until someone gets hurt. 

We about to learn something about Dave IMO.  And what he values.  And how much weight being a Dave guy carries.   Just guess work right now.

Got to think Renfrow running ahead of Horn at this point.  Think Renfrow has about 4 grabs out there with Dalton.  Yet to here Horn’s name out there 

No surprise. I doubt that he was ever behind Horn.

I dont see any scenario where we couldn't release David Moore and sign him back since he not subject to waivers.

Why we should keep him on the initial 53 roster is beyond me.

Keeping him on the initial 53 when we can protect other players seems pointless.

If we are going to keep 7 WRs, I hope we keep Brycen Tremayne. And then maybe cut him after initial claims and sneak him onto PS. He's a big possession type receiver who just keeps making plays.

Yeah, he's made some plays. The thing is though, he's really just a possession receiver. Horn, theoretically, provides speed and explosiveness. He's just so small though, and he really provides zilch as far as blocking down field (unlike Tremayne). It will be interesting to see what happens there.

To be clear, I dont see any scenario where we dont keep Jimmy Horn.

And Im not knocking David Moores value to this team.

I just think from a roster management perspective, keeping a younger guy over David Moore on the initial 53 if we keep 7 WRs (or someone else at a different position) makes much more sense

we don't really know much about Davein this regards though...

but just to argue the other side.   

Week 1...how do you justify his existence if you are a coach?  That's the Horn problem.  And it might uniquely apply to him amongst the WRs.

I understand your point.

If everyone is healthy, I think Horn is inactive, at least to start the season.

My money is on Renfrow being WR5 and PR1 to start the season.

I think Horn will have to wait until an injury to get legit playing time

I think Canales needs to pull Raheem Blackshear off of returns for these last two preseason games. That's really the best way to gauge whether or not one of these borderline guys can contribute in other ways. It is not looking like Blackshear is going to make the 53, so those are wasted reps imo. Split time between Horn and Renfrow and see what we have.

Also, Canales loves David Moore, so dismissing him is a mistake on fans' part. He plays special teams well and can be depended on, if needed, to make plays on offense. That's valuable for a 4th-5th receiver. I don't think he is a 100% lock, but there is something to be said for the trust Dave has in him.

I don't think Horn is guaranteed. I don't think Moore is guaranteed either. I don't think that we'll keep either one of them if by chance someone is cut that would be an upgrade to either. I'm not downplaying Moore though. An experienced vet that can legitimately fill in when injury bug bites is not to be taken for granted.

Pretty sure our D was so bad last year we were like 50th overall, behind 8 CFL teams and 10 college football teams.

I was about to say this worst in NFL history to just second worst in that year is a big jump lol. 

 

That said i will legit be happy if we can break into the upper 20s
