So what now with the safeties...

[SOJA]

Our two starters? Way, way better. 

We went from a guy playing out of position and a guy who just got cut to: 

2 Pro Bowl caliber players with Coleman moving back to FS. 

I worry about our depth, the Calvin Pryor trade does not seem like a bad idea now.

It's disappointing not grabbing a guy in a draft loaded with S, little more disappointed releasing a guy like Boston who was damn good depth. I'm holding out that there's a plan in place, cannot go into the season with jones and Marlowe as backups imo

Picking up Calvin Pryor would be great.

Nothing would surprise me with this group. Looks like they had enough of Marcus Ball, not anywhere on the roster.

 

Once the ban on on-field bats went into effect, Ball's game was never the same.

Sean Marlowe, rhymes with Bean Harlow, duh.

Dean?

They asked Bletchen to drop from 230 to 210 to play SS.  He can play, but Marlowe is the better prospect for our system.  The kid from Charlotte (Harding) who played at Catawba is on the radar--do not rule him out.

[Jon Snow]

Push.  It's yet to be determined if the answer is on the roster.

I see why we didn't draft one but I would love to know the back story on Bostons release.  I know he is not that great but would provide some depth.

There is no way that this is the group that we start the season with.  While we were able to upgrade in several positions in this last draft, we also left ourselves very vulnerable to injuries at the Safety and TE position.  Image Olsen and Coleman/Adams getting injured.  Not really sure why we felt the need to get rid of Boston.  He could have been depth.  Well its time to watch the waiver wires.

Starters we're waaaaay better off, but behind that is a big ?


Just glad to see no more out of position, bad angles, etc what you got with Boston.

Old ass Harper had half the athletic ability as Boston but was way better in coverage because he was rarely out of position.

we will scour the waiver wire for competent backups right up to season's start. I hope we find a couple.

No backstory. Even as a backup, our coaching staff did not have ay faith in him. 

Simple and Plain as my boi Cam used to say.

So , overall are we in better shape or worse shape than last season?

Haven't seen Mike Adams play, but I trust that he's an upgrade and that it's good that Kurt can focus on FS.  So in terms of starters, Adams & Coleman > Coleman & Tre.

Colin Jones is still around.  Wash.

Behind them, last year Marlowe... (until he got injured week 2)  Wash

So improvement on starters, wash on depth. 

This year, our depth includes journeymen McCray & Southward,  Max Henson suggested team likes McCray, Marlowe & Blechen.... 

Hopefully one of these guys shows something, or Dave has another plan.  I'm not confident (yet) in assigning backup S role to Marlowe.

[Jimmy]

I'll miss him. I really liked the guy on a personal level. In the locker room, to a man, they all liked him and was funny. He is one of the best IG follows as well. I wish him nothing but luck going forward. 

Now...can we waive Amini next?

[Hogmolliesmaht]

What about the UDFA from ND, Cole Luke? He's listed as a corner but he has played FS, I believe.
