OK--off topic--when again can we ditch the gut and the nut pics?

Reddick, Haynes, and Luvu as the Swing LB.

I said, "I have spoken." That should have ended the conversation.

I would not worry about draft picks in 2022 until April. I think, if Darnold does well, we will trade back and get a few picks. We may only need a G, C, and LB. To be had in rounds 2-3. I have spoken.

Conspiracy Theory sorta: The offense has been focused on hybrids--Ricci and Cannon (Erving, Christensen, Elflein, etc, too). Maybe the plan is to keep fewer offensive players (9 OL, 5 WRs, No real FB---Ricci + Arnold and Tremble at TE, Cannon as the third RB, 6th WR)....maybe we keep 24 Offensive players and 26 defensive players.

In my head, he was cut. I am omnipotential.

hope it is for a player--

NC A & T

Wasn't he already cut?

I think he is a special teams ace? 6-6, 265

Interesting. Thought we were set at DE...

That is a good one. I want to get a Charlton Jersey. Nobody gets the punter's jersey.

I like the jerseys nobody else has--like a Brad Hoover back in the day--so on this squad, I am really liking Chinn or maybe Tremble. I would think "88" but I have a feeling a lot of Olsen fans will still be wearing his jersey.

I was actually thinking collar bone or shoulder separation.

I had that thought--then I thought, "3 year contract..."

I did. Of course, I questioned my paranoia--if that is what it was.

which is why the #3 qb should be on the PS, not the roster, imo.

I had him on my list and then took him off--I am keeping 5 WRs with Cannon as a swing WR/RB. Rhule made some comment about keeping 5, possibly 6. Smith NOT going to IR is going to hurt Zylstra's chances. I am simply not sure about his special teams value, which is why I stayed away--at the moment, he is NOT on my 53. So would his being cut be a surprise? Could not decide.

I have been saying (and you may disagree) that Easton Stick looked good for the Chargers and the announcers (LAC) were wondering if he might make the team---I dunno, all I have to go on was the one game I watched, but I saw something more than what we have in camp behind SD.

So that sub 50% completion rate is compelling to you?

I would start by banning myself.

It is obvious, unless you bring in another QB--I am not sure PJ's best is going to be enough--ever--so I thought we should develop a young guy with more upside--arguably an Easton Stick or someone of that nature that may have more upside. I am down on Walker, if you can't tell.

Thought we might take a look at some potential surprise cuts. Feel free to add your list before Tuesday's deadline (Capt. Hindsight): Melvin CB: I think he gets cut. Taylor and Thomas-Oliver III looked good in preseason, and you need to develop youth over paying for some drifter’s retirement. There was talk about him playing the nickel until Bouye returned, but Hartsfield had a strong preseason, IMO. Horn and Jackson outside ahead of Taylor and Thomas Oliver, Hartsfield and Bouye at Nickel. We don’t need Melvin. Walker QB: They may try to pull him back to the PS, but to what end? He got outplayed in the preseason by Grier. Period. We probably keep 2 QBs on the roster, and one on the PS. Thomas TE: With Rhule’s man crush on Ricci, we have 2 TEs that can play the FB spot. Rhule bragged about developing Ricci from the PS last year. Could this spell doom for Thomas, who might fall between the cracks? I think we may have seen his best, and it is not going to cut it. Oh, and if we keep 4 TEs, Thompson is probably the fourth. Thomas just makes too many mental errors and has not come close to tapping into his potential. In a contract year, might as well develop the young’uns.

A backup QB candidate that I liked watching NFL Network was Easton Stick (Chargers)
