does barner make the team?


Recommended Posts

Gettleman should try and make a trade with Barner for O-line depth.  I don't see him making the team at this point.  Fozzy and Reeves both look better.

 

I mean come on dude...what do you think they would be able to get for him? I like where your head is at but I just don't see any team willing to even trade a back OT for this guy.

His vision is terrible, but in his defense the line wasn't opening up many holes for him either.

'

that is an excuse. I know he was a "sexy" pick for us but he doesn't bring much to the table. Joe Adams was a better return man than KB and I'm pretty sure Adams is out of the NFL.

Had this convo at work recently. Barner benefited big time by the Tyler Gaffney injury (and lowbrow move from the Pats)....but he isn't taking advantage of this opportunity. Can't play ST, isn't an efficient returner, can't block out of the back field and let's be honest here...dude doesn't pass the eye test as an NFL RB.

Not trying to toot my own horn here, but I will. Just like the Kugbila and Gaffney choices..I absolutely hated this Barner pick as well. I don't think he's going to make the team and I would be fine with that. He brings nothing to the table.

And has dropped a fair share of open dump off passes. His concentration just is not there and he had a couple of opportunities in the preseason game to dig his foot in the ground and go upfield. He didnt and waited for the defense to swarm him.

When I saw him drop the dump pass I realized he just somehow does not ready for the NFL...not that one game alone but every carry he had last season coupled with that game. I am a fan of his too...so I want the guy to succeed but just lost faith in his ability.

Yeah I agree - dude isn't worthy of a roster spot, especially when we basically have 3 nfl starting running backs and need to find a return man ASAP.

Gettleman has his job cut out for him.  But these returners shouldn't make the roster when they can't return, or play their expected position, or even just catch the ball in space...  when all of that has been an issue there's little to discuss anymore..

This. He doesn't fit here. Maybe he can latch on elsewhere, but honestly he just doesn't look like an NFL player.

Running him in a power run scheme with poor run blocking......what do u expect? Only RB that will look decent will be a power back. He is the polar opposite

Sunday is a big night for him.

He needs the OL to get him some space.....if they don't he likely is done bc he can't break contact at the line.

 

I can tell you there is a general feeling within the organization that the running backs did not perform as well as the OL last  Friday night.

No doubt the RBs didn't look good. They looked so bad people spin Reeves as having a good night.

I thought the O looked decent in protection. A little surprised they think we run blocked okay.
