OFFICIAL 2024 League Cutdown Day Discussion

[mike_usagisan]

And he knows his roster spot is safe they have no other C on the roster other than Andrews. Jake Andrews is on IR.

Our other C is about to get cut from another team.

Remember when the Patriots talked about cutting guys who were going to be playing somewhere in NFL that season? Now we're picking through other teams' dumpsters.

Yeah, that was back when we had that crappy head coach for all those years. Thank god he's gone now!

NE media keeps saying start Brissett.. whoever is behind this line is at risk. If Brissett goes down then Maye is in.

If they got one they would still have 40 million unspent.


Look at this roster. There are deficiencies at almost every position or unit.

More like 20-30 mil left over. Remember they were shooting for Ridley (20+ per year) or Aiyuk (32 per year).

The problem with the oline coach is the play of the oline.

So you think that the O-line Coach can magically snap his fingers and make people perform better. You really don't understand

 

[DaBruinz]

What's the league minimum for someone at his position and seniority?

League Minimum is just that. There is no basis for position.

The league minimum for a player with 7 years in the league is 1.255M.

I like Scott Peters and honestly he has refined alot of their techniques. Last night the actual run and pass blocking was not horrible. The illegal formations were alot and that was unacceptable. Once the ref calls the penalty on the player that player should be able to line themselves up.

You obviously don't remember when Scal retired and then came back after a year. Can a good coach work miracles...no but they sure can help.

Yeah.. 3 Illegal formation penalties on Okorafor is ridiculous. Was he REALLY lined up in the backfield that much? Or were they being nitpicky?

I thought it was bad and honestly could have been called more that 3 times on him and could have been called on Washington as well.

No. Ridley’s first year cap hit was 10 mill. You dint charge the average to the cap you charge the first year cap hit.
We could have signed about 8 starters and a bunch of depth players.

You obviously are talking out your arse.. His name is Dante SCARNECCHIA. Not SCAL. He was gone for 2 years with DeGuglielmo as the O-line Coach.. I remember Gugs not being a good fit. What you ignore is that the people on the O-line had played for SCAR already. Guys like Solder, Vollmer, Mankins, Connolly, Wendell, etc.

You're ignoring that, with the exception of Andrews and Onwenu, these guys on the O-line haven't had the benefit of SCAR or a person of similar quality coaching them.. They haven't.. It takes more than 4 weeks to get into sync.

 

[dliverey44]

I went back and watched most of the Philly game and Chuks has a tendency to line up pretty for off the line at RT as well. It almost looked like he does it to give him more time to react.

 

[Steve102]

There were dozens of free agents available this year that would have made this team better.
You said they had to choose because of limited resources. They didn’t come close to using their resources.

I'm speaking specifically on OT. I believe there are limited resources, especially when it comes to LT. Good players do not make it to FA. I don't believe they missed out on any LT who helps. They missed out on a LT on the draft, there was a run and they were not able to get back in and draft a R1 LT. They instead opted for filling the WR room in a deep WR draft. If they traded assets, either they would not have Polk and Baker or they would have given up a high pick in 2025.

NE should be calling SF for Trent Williams, he’s holding out.

I thought they resolved it.
