Alex Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Jon Bostic and Matthew Thomas at Mack. Vince Williams and Tyler Matakevich at Buck. Expect us to carry more safeties as I do expect Marcus Allen to play some Mack as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had read an earlier report that he had signed with the Raiders, but it must be incorrect because he isn't listed on their roster. http://www.raiders.com/team/roster.html do we have any cap space to sign a vet like Bowman?

Bowman was a really good Mack when pairing with a potential HOFer Patrick Willis. When he doesn't have a good Buck, he doesn't show up on the sheet or make impact plays much as we would like. Bostic however, have shown the ability to make seldom splash plays with awful Buck, so I'm more interested in seeing how Bostic can play on a much better defensive squad (even though it's not by much).

VigilantZombie Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 The thing about Bowman is, and this was true for anyone who might be a PSU Fan and payed close enough attention, he has always been a part of a really good tandem. The key word there being tandem. As stated above, he offered a different skill set than Patrick Willis, together they were almost the perfect ILB duo. After Willis retired, he wasn't the same and after the injury it was even worse. He was good, but wasn't the same kind of great in Oakland. Here, we just have too much instability for Bowman, I'm not sure that he'd succeed here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VigilantZombie Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 I'd say that there's a reasonable chance given that he received a 3 year contract that Matthew Thomas does indeed make the final 53. Having said that, I have a strong feeling he will finish the season as a starter despite not having began the season as such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea what our cap situation is currently. I a sure that they have room for the rookies to be signed. I do believe tat they could free up money by converting another portion salary to bonus and potential June 1 cuts as well. I don't think Bowman would cost and arm and a leg in salary.

I think Thomas has a good shot at making the roster but I think the hype is getting g out of hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
