I agree with this 100%. I think this really stood out. We essentially saw a highschool/college run game today.

Todd Davis is probably the best player out there at the linebacker position. He makes sense if those guys are going to out long.

Cuz they didn’t swipe Michael Turk when they had the chance and he went back to school somehow.

Yep this is definitely true. But if there are a couple of weeks of inactivity from him on offense, I think they look at the others. If he is not providing an offensive spark, he’s not really serving a purpose on the roster imo. Totally forgot about T. Jones. Playoffs PTSD has pushed him deep into a place in my brain.

I wonder who are staring gunners will be. It was a lot of Foster and Neal last year. Maybe Gabe Davis or Jaquan Johnson? I wonder if Kumerow is sitting by to see if he is needed more than say an Isiah McKenzie. I think we will probably see Kumerow or Duke swipe his spot in the next few weeks.

I always liked DiMarco, but he was very disappointed during his time here. Makes me think of those false reports that we signed Kyle Juszcyk who would have been a huge get. I hope we try to travel down that road in free agency again this off season.

Bates and Boettger can play center, but aren’t natural centers like Boehm is. I’m guessing Bates is the #2 guy on the depth chart. There is depth there, but if you think Harrison is better than those guys, it makes sense to kick the tires. I don’t think he would replace Boettger or Bates. I think this team really likes those guys, and I think they would lose them to other teams if released. Just my opinion.

I think a part of his contract becomes dead cap this year but I think its non consequential.

It allowed them to keep Hodgins. If they IRed him he would be out for the season and if they waived him another team could have swiped him. Roberts and Marlowe not being subject to waivers allowed the Bills to use two roster spots for one day. With Feliciano, if he were put on IR before the cut down, he’d be out for the season, but now they can bring him back, I’m pretty sure anyways. It let the Bills play with two bonus spots for 24 hours.

It comes full circle as he will learn from Brady, but not the way a lot of people thought. My understanding is that he excelled on special teams and as a blocker, but also had some clutch catches over the last couple of years and was a favorite of Aaron Rodgers. Good guy to have around imo.

Panthers cut Kaare Vedvik...so he’s a better fit now.

Butler is gonna start imo, but Phillips, Jefferson gonna be on the field a lot.

I’m guessing they maybe pursue Rasul Douglas..they were all over him pre draft. Nate Hairston as well.

Richie Leone has been the best punter in the CFL for a few years. Could be an interesting grab. Punting is punting.

Ingram is a very good player, but really not what these guys look for as prototype edge players. Short arms, kind of a guy without a position here imo.

Agreed. We just went through this with Dion Dawkins...and Cordy Glenn before him...this likely won’t go away for a while because pre draft prognosticators said Ford would be an all pro guard. But if Ford improves his play like Dion did, it has a chance to go away. Raw tackles like Dion and Ford take some time to develop in the NFL. And in Ford’s case, Oklahoma did not ask him to do much technique wise. The things he is being asked to do in the NFL are things he’s never done before. Patience will pay off here.

I remember when we drafted him as a defensive tackle then used him on offense as a guard for some reason. Then he went on to have a respectable career as a....defensive tackle. Ahhh, the good ole days.

Boehm is a natural center who has played a lot of right guard in the NFL. He started like 40 games at center at Mizzou, interestingly though, the majority of his NFL experience so far has been at guard. Not sure why that is, but he’s an interesting depth guy for sure. Interestingly, all of the other centers on the roster Morse, Bates, Boettger, even Feliciano (played a ton of RT at the U) are converted tackles. Fun fact...Ryan Bates’ dad’s first name is Norman.

Evan Boehm is essentially a younger, much cheaper version of Long. I liked Long, but this makes sense if the Winters thing is official. But as others have mentioned, i do think they really like Ryan Bates as well. Still a lot of flexibility in terms of guys who can play guard and center. If they need more, with Morse and Boehm already here, maybe they being in Justin Britt too, some more Mizzou grit.

Winters was a left tackle at Kent State, I’m guessing he could play center, but I don’t think he has ever done it. But he is a lunchpail guy. Also, he might know where Dri Archer is.

I always liked his game. He plugs in at right guard, and while I like Jon Feliciano, Winters is the better player. He is tough as nails as he played through the pain of a seriously messed up shoulder. He also has a nice level of nastiness in his game. I love this move.

Worst part about this whole thing is that they are going to start broadcasting the National Anthem again, which they only do when its week 1, the super bowl, or controversial....they only broadcast it to exploit it in some way. All in all, it simply means one thing, another commercial break ?‍♂️

Prescott is such a weird player to me because he is both super underrated and super overrated. I think he is a middle of the road quarterback, but Dallas should not pay him what he is asking. He will not get that on the open market imo. I’ll ride with Allen.

That is about a tilted Nose tackle, which is a 1 technique. The idea of the tilted nose is to eat up blockers and keep the linebackers free. The strength of Ed Oliver’s game is penetration, and that is the job of the 3 tech, or outside shoulder of the guard. Back in Tampa, Warren Sapp was the 3 tech next to the tilted nose who was Brad Culpepper. All that said, putting Oliver there is a misuse of his talents imo. I could see using him there in stunt and twist scenarios, but he’s a prototype penetrating three technique, and that is where he needs to play imo.

Bryce Paup for sure. One guy I loved in his short time here and I was always a fan of when he was in Green Bay is Nick Barnett.
