He was our most effective Canadian receiver in preseason... pretty good for the undrafted local kid who didn't even get signed until after camp started.

But yeah it would be cool if Schrot made the team. He might be a diamond in the rough Atomic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigblue204 Posted June 8, 2019 Report Share Posted June 8, 2019 Label me shocked at the Simonese release. Bennet too. Two guys I thought were locks. Simonese just couldn't get to that next step I guess. So much for my prediction on him being our top Cnd rec this year.

Colin Unger Posted June 8, 2019 Report Share Posted June 8, 2019 I guess the team just got tired of waiting for Simonise to actually realize his potential and would rather go to battle with a player like Schrott who doesn’t have the raw ability but they should at least be able to know what they can expect from him.

bigg jay Posted June 8, 2019 Report Share Posted June 8, 2019 Simonise played himself off the team on Thursday. Just too many drops. I was hoping he'd take that next step this year but it didn't seem to be happening. Starman115, Mark F and Bigblue204 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark F Posted June 8, 2019 Report Share Posted June 8, 2019 (edited) Also, non expert opinion, Simonise didn't seem to have the knack for getting open. Also, I guess they did not want another "patiently waiting to realize potential" guy. They use to be criticzed a lot for that kind of thing.

AKAChip Posted June 8, 2019 Report Share Posted June 8, 2019 Cutting a guy with a ton of talent for drops in one game is not the way I would go about things. It’s how you end up gifting another team 5 years of prime Adarius Bowman. And that was at least an issue with drops over an entire season. Not saying this will burn us for sure, but he was the only Canadian receiver of that body type and type of talent that we had.

Petermann and Schrot are only similar to Simonise in terms of their passport. He’s a pure jump ball wideout. No other Canadian replaces that, even if they become superior receivers.

Goalie Posted June 8, 2019 Report Share Posted June 8, 2019 Saw Both Simonise and Bennets release coming. Doesn't surprise me. Simonise was on the 3rd unit for a reason. bustamente 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if it’s true, they serve completely different purposes. Neither Petermann or Schrot will ever be a great WR. They are pure slot guys. If Matthews or Adams go down, we literally have no one to replace either of them other than pushing Wolitarsky back outside. All the import guys who have performed well in camp are slots.

It’s hard to see he had all that much opportunity. Again, not saying he ends up being good, just saying this is probably rash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigblue204 Posted June 8, 2019 Report Share Posted June 8, 2019 Irving said before last game that he hadn't really stood out during TC or the first game. And he stood out more often the nit for the wrong reasons this last game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
