Do The Post-Cut Positional Numbers Mean a Shift in Philosophy?

[TylerDurden]

Particularly the 5 WRs and 5 RBs... Do you think this means much more of a run-heavy style than we were even anticipating?

[L-TownCat]

It means we had more talent at one position over the other.

Keep the good, cut the bad.

[Squirrel]

Means we are going to pick up another WR.

[fieryprophet]

We have 5 RBs because of injuries.

[TheRed]

No it means there was dead weight at certain positions that we used to fill depth at others.

Seems pretty simple.

[TylerDurden]

I don't know, I keep thinking of Shula and his Tampa Bay offense.

[rayzor]

i think  it means more that we have a weak OL so we've got to take up 10 or 11 spots there and we are going to be running nickel packages so we need more DBs.

 

i think also it means they might be trying to turn brandon williams into a bigger receiving option so we kept more TEs.

I am sooooo drunk.  You're going to have to make this a, "Choose A or B" for me to give you anything.  Before you do, I choose B.

 

 

 

Now, back to being serious, we won't start the season with 5 WR's.  This is where the process begins, not ends.  Gettleman is no idiot.  He is scanning all there is to scan like Sauron in the Lord of the Rings.

 

 

Now, back to drinking and the Gettis thread....

My fear is we are going to see playcalls from the 60s. Then again after Smith and LaFell we just had some dudes like most years.

4 RBs

Williams

Tolbert

Barner

Smith

Stewart would be the 4th if off PUP and Smith gone

Cam is still the QB....and Shula knows what he can do. He got Chud a HC gig. He is that awesome. Shula won't sit on that

[Lumps]

I agree but big difference between coaching Cam vs. the entire offense. Cam is not our offense he is our QB, regardless of his first two years, he'll have to play less a role in some areas for us to actually win some games.

 

I hope Shula can do it, just have to wait and see.

My point being Stewart factored into the numbers whether he was active or not, so by keeping Smith, we technically kept 5.

Brockel mainly plays FB on GL blocking plays and such, so he basically counts as a FB since that's where they list him now position wise.
