[captain stone]

Did Slater return to practice today? If he has, then I don't think he's going to be IRed.

Created with Pats Picker: Pats Picker 2017

• Came down to Carr vs. Bolden for me. A developmental WR5 vs. a STer. Coin flip.
  
  
• Nearly the rest of everyone's offense is in agreement at this point. I don't know Garcia's deal. If he is IRed then there will be two open roster spots after cut downs.
  
  
• Great depth, talent & versatility at DE. Brown, Guy & Butler can all play DE/DT.
  
  
• Flowers looks like a ST upgrade over Grissom. Anything he could provide on defense would be a bonus.
  
  
• ILB is key. All we need is competent play in order to keep Hightower full time at OLB. Hopefully the vet or the kid can provide that.
  
  
• Justin Coleman has looked pretty good this preseason. I'd keep him over a PR that seems unable to play CB. My gut says BB will disagree.
  
  
• Ebner is probably a better safety than Richards at this point. C ya.

 

[captain stone]

Agree with all of your predictions for offense.

Why are you including Rivers?

Trevor Bates >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Marquis the Flower.

Justin Coleman still sucks. He's a PS talent, at best. Cy Jones deserves one more TC to prove that he's better than JAGs like Coleman.

You're right captain:



But Cyrus succcccccccccccks. Fair points though. Maybe Kenny Moore or an outsider then.

I like that you cut Freeny, Grossem & Richards.

Adrian the Waddle is a dead man walking. I would keep Phleming (whom I don't like either) over him, and also over Croston, whom I would sign to the PS, maybe, when (not if) he clears waivers.
Somewhere out on that horizon…
Far away from the neon lights…
I know there must be something better…
Than Phleming, Croston, and the Waddle as backp OLmen...

I would keep Cy Jones over Coleman, who has had an extra year to prove himself; and all that he's proven is that he sucks.

And I would thank Brandon Bolden for his services, then release him.

I agree, Cy Jones does suck. But I would be shocked if he isn't given one more year to prove that he doesn't.

And I may have over-dramatized my preference for Bates over Marquis Flowers, but
I just don't see what the latter has shown that makes him superior over the former, and at the cost of a draft pick to boot.
