Looks Like Kenjon Barner Was Cut

Just accept the fact CAP is better RB. BTW I thought they would roll with Barner & Keep 4.

Barner has been in the league 2 more years than CAP and has less yards from scrimmage, lower rushing ypc, lower receiving ypr, and less TDs than CAP.

But, yay, he was the 13th best punt returner in average yards per return in the league last year!

Another year of carrying CAP and watching him not get a jersey on game days. He won't be active unless Anderson gets hurt.

If any running backs on this team were being "carried" the last couple of years, it was Jonathan Stewart and his 3.5 ypc (2016-17) and Mike Tolbert (in 2016) and his 3.3.

Kripes, some of y'alls blindness when it comes to Rivera's constantly poor personnel choices and "security blankets" is amazing.

I was begging for CAP to get more opportunity last year... right up until he actually did. Then I saw why he didn't. Numerous miscommunications led to some near disasters.

Well this might help Byrd possibly...1 less return guy.

Should've kept him over CAP, but Ron prefers his vested guys...

Basically. But they both did really impress me as much as Hood.

I would have thought Barner was higher on the list because of his special teams ability, TBH. Not sure what anyone sees in CAP anymore. He is basically a pretty common JAG RB that is affordable but not particularly effective. 

Oh well, at the end of the day, if our third RB was having to get a lot of carries the season has probably already gone south on us.

That comes from lack of experience with Cam. Cap played option at Auburn with hardly any screw ups.  You guys at like he cost games when he played. Mistakes happen when there is no experience all thru preseason he was playing well and never any meaningful time with the ones. Cam didn't even do preseason last yr.

Didnt he drop a lateral from Cam that cost us a td, I think thats when I lost faith in him.

Inexperience is not an excuse. When you're on an NFL roster your job is to he ready to play when your number is called, period. Those miscommunications weren't happening with other RBs. The plays didn't change. The reads didn't change. The RB changed. Pretty easy to figure out who the culprit was.

Barner sucks

U still dont get it. Tell me how many miscommunication incidents did u see. Maybe 1 or 2 when you dont practice exchanges this can happen. You act like it was everytime he was in the game.He is a good back, with limited snaps with first team read option is not just a regular hand off especially with Cam.
