K Harrison Butker Makes It To The Practice Squad. DT Eric Crume Released. Panthers Add An OT

[Saca312]

Some small moves today:

 

[Bartin]

John Theus is a 5th round pick out of Georgia in 2016. That's all I got. Surprises me since I thought we were pretty good on OT depth and the 49ers have a pretty trash line so if they are dumping him I'm not sure what we think we are getting.

Eh they're decent at OT. OG is where they're garbage at.

Cole Luke to IR.

[Car123]

Another solid move.

Crume played well in the preseason.  Sad to see him go, but as long as both Butler & Love are healthy, I guess it's an ok move.  Our top 4 DTs are certainly stellar if healthy.

A bit surprised we added an OT instead of bringing up a guy like Armah. but you can't have too much OT depth!

There you go. Butker cleared waivers and is back with the Panthers. We don't need Crume with Love and Butler ready to play again. Cole Luke will basically take a medical redshirt because we have  more talent and experience at corner now, and we just got a little deeper at tackle. It's getting a little harder to dislike Hurney lately. I still don't trust him running the draft but I will have to eat some crow and say he's done a really good job with the roster so far.

True, but we already had 6 CB's with Gunter being picked up yesterday.

The 9ers have one of the better tackle tandem in the league

My thinking is that our coaching staff sees something in him. Matsko has been great at bringing some of these young guys along. Perhaps the OL coach for the 49ers isn't the kind that works well with young players who still need some teaching up.

But, like @KB_fan said above, I'd have been thinking Armah instead.

Theus was a pretty solid SEC offensive tackle.

But, then again, so was my boy Lee Ziemba, so we shall see.

Really surprised Crume was the one to be let go. Thought he would be perfect on the PS to develop and take Love's spot on the roster next year.

Relief to get Butker back obviously, but doesn't make keeping Gano at his salary any less moronic.

[Mr. Scot]

Hate seeing Crume let go. I liked him.
