It's public knowledge for most by now but just to be clear vets with 4 or more years of service that got "cut" are who can sign anywhere as of 10 p.m today. Those with less are subject to the waiver wire and the teams who they are awarded to will be announced at 4 tomorrow. of course automatically get whoever we want due to our record last year.

I've got a feeling that we won't be seeing much action tonight...

I think Marty will prefer to go after young guys on waivers first (with hopes of filling in spots, expecting they have potential, and we'll develop them like draftees), it kind of falls into line with our personnel philosophy.

Then he may go after the vets later if he's not happy with what we have. I can see Tommie Harris being an immediate option though because he's been released twice in one year, price is probably pretty low.

Good news is he knows exactly who he will be awarded via waivers already, unlike other GMs, so he can offer contracts to vets tonight to fill any other holes he wants.

I still don't think we will hear anything tonight, but this is an advantage.

We might not see much action tonight but I do think we will go after some of the guys that can be signed tonight. I think that Hurney will had some older guys, help get some experience on this team.

    • No, you're right. It doesn't mean you can't call out his flaws and poor play. But it also doesn't mean you can't admit when he plays well and shows improvement. Not you personally, just in general I mean.
    • I will say, I do think there's a version of Bryce that could be really successful as a high-volume passer in a spread-based offense built around quick throws and timing-based intermediate throws with deeper throws schemed up around them. I actually think the power run based offense we're running is a poor fit for Bryce as it requires him to play under center far more often. It's a very traditional offensive approach whereas I think a scheme that spreads defenses out and lets Bryce distribute the ball quickly with anticipation and accuracy is the sweet spot for him. The key, of course, is to find a way to run the ball efficiently out of those formations. Our personnel right now (backs and OL) aren't good fits for that style of offense and I'm not sure it's a scheme Dave Canales favors very much either.
    • I root for him, and I hope for the best, as does essentially everyone. But that doesn’t mean you can’t call out flaws and bad plays. And that’s what a lot of people get wrong.  I hope I’m wrong and that he continues to improve a lot, I just doubt it. But I’ve been wrong before
