Roster competition

I thought Bates filled in a couple time and didn't embarrass himself? Or was that just Traywick?

Trawick looked like a guy who deserved a longer look.

Bates made Heeney look competent.

Trawick was the bigger of the two, so I still wonder if he couldn't have been a 3rd or 4th safety and a backup WLB.
 
Final cuts is what I am hoping for. Every team in the league passed on Cowser when he cleared waivers and then we brought him back. That makes him the worst in the league from my point of view.
You mean the UDFA that was waived/injured once he cleared waivers was brought back into the fold. That guy... That's your reasoning? Did ya think just maybe, no team is going to try and make room for an injured UDFA a week or so before the season starts...
 
I know you disagree with me, but I still would rather have Calhoun out there than Cowser.
I don't feel I saw enough of Cowser to say either way. Did he even get to play that often. I Guess enough to make a lasting impression on a few of you. I honestly didn't watch what he or Calhoun were doing enough. To fully judge their performances.
 
I don't know what the plan is at MLB? It's a big weakness and we didn't address the need, makes me wonder what the plan is?

We addressed the need... we don't like his answer.

I have a scary thought......

Remember that Riley wasn't even brought on board until Heeney went down to injury.

What if... (brace yourself @Crow)

...what if Heeney is Red's answer at MLB?

That's my unspoken fear...
 
How far? Did it hurt? :p

over the last couple days I lost my make fun of @Sleet card. God damnit...

still a couple FAs out there. Reggie needs to sign a MLB and an edge.
 
Reggie is just trying to save three dollars and eighty two cents on Perry Riley's contract. He needs at least another 10 spot to cover Carr and Mack.

when it comes to FA he seems to find value... whether it's high end or low end

He can start the process by locking in Carr for like 7 years and go from there.
 
Cowser might have "some" coverage skill. Calhoun has none. I don't trust either as an option at this point. Both are backup "edge" players only.

We like to refer him to "Man bun dude" 'round here
 
Competition at LB (YR): H/W 40 SPARQ

Mulumba '13 U: 6'3''/260 lb. 4.80 (---)
Lee '17 5th: 6'3''/240 lb. 4.78 (20.8%)
Jenkins '13 4th: 6'0''/240 lb. 4.65 (---)
Ball '15 5th: 6'2''/236 lb. 4.65 (55.5%)
Heeney '15 5th: 6'0''/231 lb. 4.59 (77.8%)

Norman '16 U: 6'0''/230 lb. 4.63 (33.5%)
James '16 6th: 6'0''/229 lb. 4.60 (67.7%)
Adams '15 U: 6'2''/228 lb. 4.59 (24.0%)

*Riley '10 4th: 6'0''/240 lb. 4.72 (---)

While Red's waiting on Riley, the three biggest/slowest LB on the roster are newbees, Mulumba, Lee and Jenkins. Riley would be forth. Scheme change in process?

The remaining UFA LBs on the scrap heap, waiting to be picked up for a song included such vaunted names as Elvis Dumervil, Ray Maualuga, Phillip Wheeler and Sio Moore. Guess our GM is waiting to see who gets added as camp/contract cuts. Lotta LBs drafted higher than Lee who are gonna take a roster spot from a vet.

As was the case with three years of rent-a-CB, seems like the front 7 are going to be in flux for beyond this season.

:shakehead:
