I agree on all counts. Does not know a bear from a Panther--and he plays for the Panthers. Even if you were confused, you could probably guess that a stuffed bear would not be at a Panther game.

Gotta be Thurmond, Lee, and Sullivan--but who is Mabin? Ray? I think they (Mabin, and Ray) will make the roster somehow.

The contract we gave him was ridiculous.

So does that mean 2 players will be cut during practice (before 4 pm)?

That seems to be a double-edged sword. Sure, you are hiding your starters, but the chemistry and game experience keeps the rust away. I dunno--with 17 games, maybe he is onto something.

No idea. Saw his photo on the roster---I was confused.

1 year, $5m--I would say, "no."

In fairness, I think our preseason coverage sucks balls. They spend a LOT of camera time on the sidelines switching to the play just before the snap, then show the replays sparingly. The announcers are talking about 2017. I rarely saw what the defensive backfield was doing and could not see who was in the game at OL for the most part. I got frustrated. And then in the fourth quarter, they grab some established player and have a 10 minute interview with him while the game is being played--those are the people fighting for roster spots--that is when I WANT to be watching preseason football.

D Williams is a veteran who had 4.5 sacks at Denver last year--very familiar with our DC. He makes the roster. YGM has played inside--there is some talk about him being a situational pass rushing 3Tech. If so, his versatility could be valued.

My opinions (no more valued than anyone else's): We are not adding to the TE room this year--we are subtracting, if anything. Sullivan is probably gone with Ricci staying on (I hope) We are going to be looking at CB, RB, and DL--possibly ILB.

Spencer Brown preseason rushing stats: v

At least we can say that we improved today--by cutting Jordan. Addition by subtraction.

I get the feeling that there will be some additions tomorrow.

Thanks -- did not see that--Mays can play C, so I guess he is to be the depth there.

As of right now, my offensive 25 board is shaping up like this: Offense Tackle Guard Center Tight End Running Back Wide Receiver Quarterback Moton Corbett (Inj.) Bozeman Hurst Sanders Chark Young (1) Ekwonu Christensen Mays Thomas Hubbard Theilen Dalton Erving Zavala (4) Tremble Blackshear Marshall Corral Jensen Ricci Shenault Mingo (2) Smith-Marsette

Chinn at LB is an interesting thought.

He admits that he spent 2 years finding himself, but he feels that he has now arrived--I agree

Really seems to be a good blocker. If you can swap seventh rounders and get a roster player who is a threat on special teams and in some WR sets, that is a huge win.

They have to have a signing in mind--maybe that Texan Lb

Nothing really surprising to me, based on this version of the defensive depth chart: (Aug 19): Defense Nose Defensive End Outside Linebacker Inside Linebacker Cornerback Strong Safety Free Safety Tuttle Brown Burns Thompson Horn Bell Woods Stallworth D. Williams Gross-Matos Luvu Jackson Chinn (bnb) Franklin Anderson Haynes Grugier-Hill Henderson J.Robinson (5) Houston D. Jones Taylor Johnson (3) Hill Barno Practice Squad (Defense) Leota Smith, B. Pool Wright

Expect us to sign a LB. Brandon Smith was lost--seemed to struggle to read plays. Thought they might try him as an OLB pass rusher--but nay.

Those bastards!

I called this one. Stallworth to make the roster?

He will be on the PS, imo
