Coach55 Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 Thoughts on whether or not various players are going to make the team this year for salary or other reasons. Sorry for 2 posts, but dealing with system limitations
Coach55 Posted April 28, 2009 Author Posted April 28, 2009 Interesting. It appears more people think Johnson is going to make the team over Hardy. (see poll 1/2)
bladiebla Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 Steve Johnson is a no brainer imho; I'm even going as far as saying he's a lock for 4th receiver. Assuming they have Hardy envisioned as situational 5th wr it would explain the expensive shopping they did with Roscoe.
OCinBuffalo Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 That's because Johnson looks like a steal, and we still don't know if Hardy will adjust to the pro game. I am optimistic about both guys. The best scenario for me is if TO's work ethic and competitiveness, and not his me-ness, rub off on them. I wonder if the coaches can convince him that he will be seen as "even greater" if he can pass on his knowledge.
Poeticlaw Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 Interesting. It appears more people think Johnson is going to make the team over Hardy. (see poll 1/2) I did a post on the positions and player choices pf who would get cut is more likely that Jenkins and PK Sam ar cut more than any of the other recievers. I was also thinking about denney but then I thought about Mccargo getting cut instead of denney becuase of denneys abilty to play end and DT makes him more valuable then mccargo.
AlbanyBill Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 Yeah, I could see all of the guys you included in these two polls making the team easily (Quick edit: I forgot about Ko..he'll prob be cut)
BuffaloBill Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 Florence was a key offseason signing and i think he makes it because he is experienced. Unless Johnson has a huge backslide he is a lock. Either Denny or Kelsey will be dropped but not both. Ellis is also likely gone.

Either Denny or Kelsey will be dropped but not both. Ellis is also likely gone. They won't cut a 3rd round pick one year removed from the draft. (Please spare me the Maurice Clarett comparisons it's extremely rare.) Copeland Bryan - whomever that is - almost certainly gets the axe.

I wonder if the coaches can convince him that he will be seen as "even greater" if he can pass on his knowledge. Why would you think he needs convincing? Seems that other then two or three quarterbacks and Jason Whitten, he gets full marks from most of his former teammates. As for Johnson and Hardy, its way too early to pass judgement on either player but I too am optimistic on both fronts.

(Please spare me the Maurice Clarett comparisons it's extremely rare.) Copeland Bryan - whomever that is - almost certainly gets the axe. John Parella was a second round pick, cut the year after he was drafted(partly due to depression issues, and partly because some rookie free agent named Pat Williams tore it up) then went on to a pretty good career with SD.
BillsWatch Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 2nd Round QB Beck was cut by the Fish. Players are sometimes cut when teams realize that the scout they depended upon to grade player was completely wrong.
2020 Our Year For Sure Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 2nd Round QB Beck was cut by the Fish. Players are sometimes cut when teams realize that the scout they depended upon to grade player was completely wrong. I imagine that kind of thing is more likely to happen when the front office and coaching staff have been completely turned over.
Steely Dan Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 I did a post on the positions and player choices pf who would get cut is more likely that Jenkins and PK Sam ar cut more than any of the other recievers.

Ralph's gardener is more important to the team than McCargo.
