We've tried on worse, it isn't like he'd require any real commitment. If the staff liked what they saw from his college film and some preseason plays then go for it.

Going to an overrated HC that has never developed a young QB. Should work out fine. I knew it would never happen, but I loved the idea of Vedvik getting claimed by us and becoming the punter to replace O'Donnell. That's be kind of like poetry in motion, right? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruden seems to have a hard-on for Glennon and especially Peterman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then when Vedvik missed everyone would lose their poop. I just want him to punt, and would want Pace and Co to claim he has no chance of being the kicker. Fans are irrational though, so you're probably right. I didn't even want to trade for him before he went to MIN. Pineiro has been my guy since he was at FLA. I'm hoping fans get off his back soon and he proves he is the solution long-term. Edited September 1, 2019 by Sugashane 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was already on thin ice after the pre-draft process. That he couldn't make a roster as a rookie 3rd round pick is pretty telling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The waiver claim period is over so we can sign him to the PS. We should start hearing about those who are being signed tonight and tomorrow.

There are quite a few SEC guys who stand out as college players but simply lack the stuff to become NFL starters or even backups. I was never interested in Polite to begin with and I'm sure has hell not interested in him now. Sign Vaughters to the PS and let him develop his overall game more there.

I remember looking at his college tape when people were hyping him. He never did anything except run by people. Zero technique. Zero. I remember blasting the FL coaches for that, but I am thinking now it was probably more him. Some people just aren't good learners. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And many because they choose not to be.....in all walks of life. I do understand what it's like to be 21 years old playing big time college ball and getting by on some kind of athletic ability alone but Polite and many others find that comes to a screeching halt at this level when even some of the worst prospects you face in camp and preseason are still better than the very best you faced in college. It's a wake up call and some choose to take it while others roll over and go back to sleep saying it takes too much effort. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
