oakdb36 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 I didn't see a way Key was making the team. Always been a fan of Hurst so i wish they'd have at least brought him to TC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humble_Beast Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 makes you wonder why didn't Hurst play more last season. at the end of the day I would rather have Solomon Thomas, and David Irving. Hurst might find his way on another team. I don't see this move haunting us, but I would have kept him at least into training camp. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turnobili Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 (edited) Hurst has been a better 3-tec in the NFL than Solomon Thomas has. he was also under contract for ~1 mil for this season. Edited April 15, 2021 by Turnobili 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big_palooka Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 I can see both players finding success elsewhere. Key will land with a team record some sacks next year, watch. Hurst can play. Don't like getting rid of him this early. He'll be the next Autry, Harris who gets paid on someone else's Dline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was cheap and one of our better D-linemen last year. Should've made the newbie castoffs from elsewhere actually beat him out before cutting him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turnobili Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Key just never had the juice. All this time and his best trait is that he has length. I don't hate that we took a chance on him, but didn't work out. Hurst has actually been a solid player when on the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roi34 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Hurst is puzzling. prob best pass rusher inside and young Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickButera Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 I get it. Irving, Thomas, Jefferson, Hankins. (Ferrell, Ngakoue, Nassib, Crosby outside) There just isn't room. And Gruden always defaults to veterans who have proven they can play well half the time over young players who have only played well half the time. Heck even Ferrell is going to play inside sometimes. How many half decent players do we want to keep on the roster on the DLine? Half dozen of one, six of the other in my mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

massraider Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 It was his 3rd year, he had 0.5 sacks. His only job was to push the pocket. I thought Collins and he would be a decent inside duo on pass rush downs. They were a complete disaster. We have three new guys to do that job. Fine with me.

They're all on the same boat in my opinion. All of them haven't proven they're better than a halfway decent player "at times". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turnobili Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 no clue how that works out. Hurst's cap hit was ~1 mil, Key's was 1.1. and you dont even save that full amount, as 2 more guys earning around that amount now move into the top 51 in their stead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
