I would of brought made a move for a Salas earlier, I would of gave Rivera the snaps that were wasted on Carpenter earlier in the season...
To name a few.
Like I said I am a huge BB fan but it just seems like a lot of wasted money and reps.
Aka, be psychic enough to know that none of the WRs would work out as anticipated and that Rivera would beat out Carpenter?I would of brought made a move for a Salas earlier, I would of gave Rivera the snaps that were wasted on Carpenter earlier in the season...

What's the big deal, you sign 90 players so you can pick the best 53. It is what it is. Those left earned it.

We paid Koppen and Branch they were both FA. I understand the logic of veteran insurance but the it seems like we could of utilized the preseason reps a lot better to develop the actual team.
Matt Light - RetiredI know every team cuts players but I look at this list of players. These are not UDFA or even younger NFL players that could have untapped ability. These guys are all veterans with plenty of tape and reports on them to show what they could do for us.
I am a huge BB fan and supporter but the amount of time put into these players by are coaches, and money lost by ownership really does not seem to be the best uses of are resources.
Deion Branch
Jabar Gaffney (Missed most of pre-season with an injury
Jonathan Fanene (Hid an injury from the team)
Spencer Larsen (Got injured during camp)
Tony Flammatta (Had a personal issue come up. Is on the Reserve EXEMPT list so doesn't count against them. )
Bobby Carpenter
Donta Stallworth
Robert Gallery
Dan Koppen
Anthony Gonzalez (was cut before camp. didn't waste any camp time)
Will Allen (Got injured towards the end of camp)
Joseph Addia (was cut before camp. didn't waste any camp time)
James Iheldigbo (Ihedigbo got beat out by Ebner. Ebner is looking to be a great find)
Chad Johnson

I think the one that raised this question in my mind was the Salas move. I like the move but why didn't we make it earlier and not waste the money and reps we did. I really don't think the Rams were holding him with a ransom.
And then today the Tennant cut what a waste of time and we could of used are waiver claim on someone else.
What would you have done differently?

I believe this is called tryouts. Players number 90 at the start of training camp, and 37 have to be cut by the start of the season. Rookies and UDFAs count every bit as much as vets and FAs. If the team stays static by keeping all vets, trouble is near. Should be a fun season.Deion Branch

Although I disagree with the OP, I think people are being a little too harsh on him. It is too early to judge how successfull the offeason personnel changes are. It's probably fair to say that it was a successfull offseason in some areas, ( Draft, DE/OLB, Secondary) flawed in other areas such as the OLine.
The offensive line is the only area we are clearly worse off than last year. We cant exempt the coaching staff from this fact. I beleive in the end, theyll pull it together, Wendell may be more legit than we think, especially knowing he made it over Koppen.
