Wow, Still no.Mitchell
with Kramdl in at safety look to Arbuckle Coxie going deep..often
For those of us wanting roster changes here we are. Really highlights our lack of depth at several positions ie receiver, db and dline
the question becomes then who do you replace Collaros with? and what will it cost. We are paying about 100k premium on a compared to other qbs. The aprox difference of having lawler vs shoen
Two things that baffle me
1 Every time we play Argos we get away from the run game, even when our recievers arent healthy
,2; Why has Parker become invisible,? The first 3 games he was all over the field making plays now even on all the deep throws hes nowhere to be found
This along with our roster decisions are frustrating to say the least
Even if we did its not a given that OShea would have given them a chance, just look at db, we brought in a ton and ended up settling with Bridges who was already here. (even though it looked like other rookies showed more ie Allen and McGowan)
I dont pretend that I know what any specifics player is thinking, but it has to be frustrating for younger players that have shown promise to be left on the sidelines without a chance to show what they can do other than special teams especially when they see rookies on other teams.
Players like Chris-Ike, Shay, Smith even Cam Allen . Its like OShea wants them to wait a year ( unless its forced by injury) before he eoll trust them on the field
One game doesnt.make a downswing, this upcoming one will say a lot
I agree not addressing our cdn talent at a number of positions is a big miss especially when the only time we use our top picks is on special teams. We need to see what we have sooner rather than just before the playoffs when a bunch of our guys are hurt
Wonder of they released haggarty because of Novacs development
Also with the addition of both Shay and Smith they made Haggarty expendable as he wasnt an option at db other than sam
As for our de's i disagree as to them being ineffective. Against Rourke and Ford they had primary contain responsibilities and Masoli was rushed constantly. They are continuously providing pressures. Our issue is the interior. Adams hasn't been as effective as hoped and not getting a lot of push from others
Its too early to say what Smith can or cannot be, currently he seems suited to sam or wil, but thru coaching could be db similar to Griffin.
Haggarty Makonzo,Kelly are all light to be will.
the issue is our DI options right now are
Ayers: Oshea is very reluctant to drop our best return coverage guy, and likely doesn't yet trust Shay enough to back up lbs
Griffin Jr. ; has been one of our best defenders
Castillo
Vaval; who has been great as well
Cooley: brings more to the offence than another receiver
Until Olivera returns I don't see the above changing.
I thought Thomas had a decent game, and the dline had a lot of pressures, leading to interceptions and near ones.
Its much improved to ly. The only criticism is that we didn't sign a quality cdn in off season such as Green or an olineman so we could have a di defensive lineman to rotate in and develop ie persons.I do also agree that Kornelson isn't a god use of roster spot
Griffen has been a beast but what position would he qualify as an allstar?
Holm and Parker so good. Bridges seems to be weak link, beaten a number of times but Masoli couldn:t make throw
