I'd be good with freeing up some of that cap space. Dalton is being paid like a top tier backup and I think he was when we initially signed him but it sure looks like Father Time has caught him and is really giving him the business down there these days.

Yeah, Rozeboom is alright if he's your worst LB out there but if you're counting on him being the best... oh wee mayne

Hopefully the rest of the league is as high on our fringe of the roster WRs as we seem to be and hopefully there's a team out there with a need at WR and a similar position with their LBs and we can work out a swap. I'm not saying we're getting a major impact player out of it but basically get a guy who was maybe going to snag a spot on a deep roster or at least essentially skip to the very front of the line on the waiver wire giving up a player that we may have end up having to cut anyway.

On the one hand, I get it. On the other hand, you gotta find someone who can do that while also holding their own after the ball is snapped. Nick Scott may be smart and he may really help get others in the right place pre-snap but he instantly becomes a liability as soon as the ball is snapped and it's go time.

The NFL #1 WR has been a mythical beast for years on here. You're pretty much a #2 at best unless you're a future HOFer.

Is Pittman a disappointment or is it that the Colts have had 12 starting QBs during his five years, none of them good? Despite that he's averaging about a 1000 yards per season over the past four years. Give the guy a QB and he might actually be something.

Yeah, there's just no justification for keeping him on the roster. No more Karl Hanktons taking up a roster spot basically exclusively for special teams. If you're not kicking or long snapping you need to be able to plausibly contribute somewhere outside of special teams.

Bingo. That's why it's critical IMO for Bryce to look good out of the gate this season.

Plenty of us were scratching our heads about that signing at the time. Especially with our 3-4 defense. Wharton is kind of a one trick pony situational five tech DT. He doesn't have the beef to hold up against the run and he doesn't have the juice to shift outside. He's basically a situational pass rusher DT. If we paid him $40M+ and he can't start for a historically inept defense then holy poo...

I hope so. I still need to see more from him in games that actually matter. So far we've basically seen him look good in games that don't matter. Regular season games when we're out of contention and a preseason game. I'll start to become a true believer when I see him play well in regular season games that matter.

Tough to call those last 10 roster spots or so simply because I have a feeling several of them are guys who are currently on other rosters.

Yeah, no clue what Horn was doing on that play. He acted like he was half ass playing cover two but no one else looked like it was cover two

I'd say so far the entirety of the Tepper era has been a full on clown show.

Worth a kick of the tires. He might be better than the worst LB currently on the roster.

Yeah, 27ppg would've been good for the #8 scoring offense in the league last year. If you have a top 10 scoring offense and only win 3 games then your defense has to be a complete poo show.

That'd be my plan. Figure out which one of your rookie QBs has the most upside/potential and throw him out there once the season is basically over.

Yeah, Sanders had a very nice debut preseason performance but the folks acting like he's arrived based on that performance are getting way out ahead of themselves.

I won't be surprised if Graham disappoints. Maybe not outright bust but never lives up to his draft status. The more I watched him at Michigan the more I came away impressed by the other Michigan DT. I think he might be the real player. Usually when you have two high level prospects in the same college unit one of them ends up getting fraud checked in the NFL as being largely carried by the other guy. Peppers and Ryan Sims at UNC comes to mind. Lavar Arrington and Courtney Brown at Penn State, etc.

3/7 for 26 yards against the starters

Seriously. It's the one unit where we have some depth or at least I thought we did. Reports on the backups' actual performance has been not good. But I'd like to not have to seriously test that depth in the regular season.

I was loudly against Bryce pre-draft due to physical talent and stylistic concerns. Now I'm just hoping for the best. I'm always happy to be wrong of it works out for the best for the team.

Yeah, the open free agency every year is just ridiculous. Tough to be a fan when there's such a massive churn to the roster every year and you're looking at the field like "who the fug are these people???". Basketball is even worse to be honest.

Oh good grief. Stop it. I get it if you're a Gamecocks fan but notice how you're on an island here? There are undoubtedly plenty of Gamecocks fans here but they ain't walking the plank with you on this one.

TMac/XL/Coker is definitely the goal IMO. Right now, the biggest question mark on that equation seems like XL.
