MOSteelers56 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 I think they'll keep Feiler. It seems like they really like him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJtheWicked Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 You have 48 if I counted right. Im not sure Patterson makes it tbh. Don’t get me wrong, he’s looked pretty good. But he also doesn’t play ST. They seem to like Hunter also. Tucker has looked great on ST. Feiler is making the team. So is Grimble. Walton most likely is as well.

Agree, he has played well enough , but if they keep 4 qb's, 5 OLB's etc, it might come down to them not having the same number of OL as usual. sign ILB - N. Bowman , I don't like our ILB situation but I doubt we have any cap space left for signing Bowman or do we? The new punter should be , berry is done how do injuries affect the roster? I would think Foster and possibly Watt would be on PUP, does this free up a roster spot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VigilantZombie Posted August 22, 2018 Author Share Posted August 22, 2018 I didnt consider Injuries so it very well may. I expect us to pick up an OL off the waiver wire or via FA that gets cut. Also expect the same for the LB position frankly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcash4 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Offense (25): QB (3): Ben, Landry, Mason RB (4): Bell, Connor, Fitz, Samuels FB (1): Nix WR (6): AB, JuJu, Washington, Patterson, Hunter, DHB TE (3): McDonald, James, Grimble OL (8): Villy, Foster, Pouncey, Decastro, Gilbert, Finney, Okarafor, Feiler Defense (25): DL (6): Hayward, Tuitt, Hargrave, Big Dan, Alualu, Walton OLB (5): Watt, Dupree, Chicki, Adams, Adeniyi ILB (4): Williams, Bostic, Matakevic, Thomas CB (5): Haden, Burns, Hilton, Sutton, Sensebaugh S (5): Burnett, Davis, Edmunds, Burhe, Dangerfield ST (3): K: Boswell P: Anyone else LS: Cannaday Thoughts: - Personally, I hate keeping 6 receivers, but I think Ben is going to want Hunter. He loves that type of receiver and realistically he is the most different of the rest of the group. Problem is he becomes an inactive with no special teams value if Washington is the #3 and Patterson and DHB can be gunners. - Would love to see us ship Landry for something and make Mason the backup and keep Dobbs. Not because I like Dobbs that much, but I do hate Landry and we could save some cash, get a future asset, and realistically we are not going to win a bunch if we are missing Ben anyway -- so what does it matter if its Landry or Mason backing up? The difference is negligible to me. - Like Fitzgerald over Ridley for special teams purposes. He has also looked strong in the preseason games so far. Also, Ridley isn't going anywhere if we need to make a call. - Bumped Brian Allen off the roster. He was pretty bad on defense and his special teams on my roster can be covered by Dangerfield and Patterson. - Might be a bit of hindsight seeing as Patterson and Washington have been pretty good, but still no clue why we brought back Rogers if he was going to be on PUP this long. - Would really like to add another Vet OT to the roster as the swing guy. Would eliminate Hunter, Dangerfield, Adeniyi, Samuels, or Thomas in that order. - Two draft picks - Allen and Frazier dont make the roster, though probably stick with the PS - Gameday inactive (if we are healthy): Mason, Samuels, Hunter, Okarafor/Feiler, Adeniyi, Walton, Thomas.

Chieferific Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Those ILBs (Bostic/Red/VW) are disgusting. Any QB/OC worth a crap will lick their chops and exploit those 3 slugs. They have got to find a way to get Thomas up to speed and/or add a ILB that can run and cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any QB/OC worth a crap will lick their chops and exploit those 3 slugs. They have got to find a way to get Thomas up to speed and/or add a ILB that can run and cover. Now that you gave your opinion of those, what do you think of CB burns , and both of our safeties? Is it just me or will this be the year we are in the bottom half or worse bottom third in pass D? The schedule doesn't look easy like last year either, something to consider. We had a very easy schedule and our stats were mostly influenced in a favourable way as a result. The team did almost nothing to improve the D, and I expect it to reflect this as the season goes on. Once a team exploits these weaknesses (pick a few?), others will follow. @August4th I agree 100%, and then this is considering full health for us. What if we have a few injuries, just suppose Heyward or Tuitt, or Haden, Watt, I mean this could be the year they finally wake up and decide to address these issues on D next offseason, I said "maybe ". This will make for an interesting season. I have thought perhaps we will play more nickel, but what variation of the nickel? Will new players be an improvement over last year, such as Burnett, Edmunds as well as existing players burns, dupree and whoever is the NT. I can't recall there being this much uncertainty on D during the tomlin era. I have no idea what they will do scheme wise (a bit but not enough) and while I am pessimistic about some starters, the reserves that could replace them are unknowns and question marks . One thing is for sure, I can't stand watching lousy defence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3rivers Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Safe to say the Allen pick was a waste as well as Dobbs if they don't make the team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jebrick Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Is the Practice Squad the team? I think it is. That being said, Marcus Allen was a wasted pick. I was hoping for Shaq Griffin or Genard Avery or Tim Settle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RB so he take 2 spots ) This leaves an extra roster spot and also with samuels playing TE and RB and also gets him more snaps. Almost comparable to the OL that can play anywhere on the line. Speaking of the OL, we could add another player there with the player saved, but then again we could add another receiver too @jebrick would you say the marcus allen pick was a waste especially if he goes to the PS and since they could have drafted a pic many here wanted such as NT Settle?

jebrick Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 To me, Samuels, Frazier and Allen have shown nothing. The practice squad is fine if they think they have a future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
