Any word on when these guys are going to come back? I'd like to see them in some preseason action,granted their only hope at this point is against reserves.

Hogan has shown absolutely nothing since being drafted. Gettis at least had the good rookie year, but before it's all said and done both of these guys could be fighting for a roster spot.

Here's our current corners without Hogan

Gamble

Norman

Munnerlyn

Butler

Josh Thomas

Stanford

Last year when we cut down to 53 and before picking up Butler on waivers we only carried 3 corners on the active roster(Gamble,Munnerlyn,and Stanford)

Receivers without Gettis

Smith

Lafell

Murphy

Pilares

Adams

Davis

Edwards

Tutu

Last year we went into the season with with 6 receives on the active roster.

heres a link to last years final 53

amazing the difference a year makes,if we don't cut a single carryover from last years roster there will still be at least 13 new members of our final 53 and the only 1 possible downgrade would be Shockey missing.

Im hoping they play sunday, but it aint lookin good! I do think they both make the team on potential alone, they are both top three talent at their positions if they can just get healthy... Id rather have a hurt gettis on the bench then a healthy edwards or tutu sitting there.

Only thing I can find on Gettis is an early August mention of a Hammy problem....the knee is not specifically cited...but there's a lot of room for speculation there...he's mentioned as running full speed at some point, but like many have pointed out, running full speed and making sharp cuts are way different when it comes to a repaired knee.

If Gettis isn't healed by now....he may not be able to overcome the injury

Edwards and tutu combined for exactly 1 more catch and 4 more yards then gettis last year. Im keeping him over those two this year. If he cant get on the field this year next year we can move on, but not yet.

Good post & questions. I don't think they will give up on Hogan yet. I think if either, they 'could' on Gettis...IF...he is not going to be able to get on the field before October.

I think they end up carrying 5-6 CBs & 6 WRs. The 6 CBs would be if they have doubts about Hogan, otherwise 5, IMO.

I really hope we get a chance to see them in the next 2 games. Hogan has had a longtime to heal now & Gettis has had a year as well. I can see the training staff holding him out to the 1 year point as a WR, but with Hogan...there must be inflammation that will not resolve for him to be held out this long.

Yep, you are right. I remember reading about his hammy too. It is not out of the ordinary for other musculoskeletal problems to arise after extensive rehab on a repaired ACL/Achilles/Rotator Cuff, etc. I hope he can get out there soon, b/c the boys got jets. The 1 thing that has made me feel a little better tho is the play of Murphy. I love Gettis, but think Murphy will also be very good (they 'better' cut Tutu...they have given him the best chance to win the #3 WR job, but he blew it already IMO).

      Big opportunity for Nadeau if he gets called up.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I think OL is a pretty low overall concern but every single offseason there should be an attempt to upgrade through the draft. Edge rusher there are no easy answers, IMO. If a truly elite prospect falls to us in the 1st, that is fine. This draft seems to be much more heavy on 3-4 DE's or 4-3 DE's than it is on elite EDGE guys. You just have to keep plugging away every offseason and hope it works out. I don't think it's worth trading a ton of draft capital over at the moment, despite being a crucial roster weakness. Do the best you can and build a better roster and maybe eventually we will be in a position to be making a Parsons level trade.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      By strato · Posted

      I understand that a capable OC is desirable but I also understand, or think I might, the dynamics with the staff and maybe I’m wrong but I do not see Canales firing his offensive right hand guy without significant pressure from Morgan or Tepper to do so.  So that, in addition to Canales stating pretty definitively, that he was keeping play calling.     I don’t know what you do in that circumstance. It would need to be important enough to you to make it worth firing Canales to get your OC play caller.    To that, if Canales not being good so far at play calling (and we only have the one year in TB to factor with what we have see here), is accepted as a given, it is only fair and honest to consider what an impediment having to construct and administer an offense around Bryce Young’s game would be to an OC. I would say it is a big complication, big surprise there.  You won’t know about Canales 100% until you remove Bryce from the equation and get him a clean slate to create from - without the Bryce restrictions.  And yeah you will likely end up without a top notch high flying offense. But it still *could* be much better than it is now. In the right hands.  So that is potentially what we’re looking at. I suppose we could keep Bryce and bring in a college style coach and design a Bryce rollout offense or something and see if that helped. I am not in favor of that, probably the last thing I would want.  We could do nothing, which I am not in favor of. We could fire Canales and keep Bryce (my least preferred option). We could get rid of both, which I would begrudgingly accept but would lament the interruption of the continuity that a 3rd year would provide.  You could get rid of Bryce and get a couple of new QB prospects in here, vets, drafts, whatever… that would be my choice.  I am afraid I know how it’s gonna go. All I can really say about that is, there has not been a single time in three years that I looked at the upcoming game and felt like we were gonna win because we have Bryce Young playing QB. Because of what he could do with the ball in his hands. Not once. Sure there have been a handful of games that he was part of the reason we won, a couple he was a big part, but not enough times to feel like that is my expectation. At best, it is cross your fingers and hope for good Bryce.
