Ragas earned a spot but numbers game. I could see us trying to stash him or Emmons on the PS. Joseph was hurt and didn't earn many points in training campo. Remember we go based on a point system when a guy is on the bubble. where IS JimKelly, Nick Bowers made the team lol. He's actually big and athletic, I'll take him over Carrier. Only guy who I think sucks who made it was Peterman. wish we used that spot on something else. What is Drake then? No reason to tie up that much money into backup RBs. I would have kept Ragas sent Richard packing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zay Jones prolly past him up with a strong camp too. he couldn't handle being the wr5 Based on the videos from camp it looks like he was outplayed by Willie Snead as well.

Richard only had 22 carries (19 receptions) last season, assuming Jacobs/Drake remain relatively healthy all season, I'd assume that Jacobs gets around 220 carries and Drake has around 180 carries in a 17 game season. Which will likely leave us with only 100 other rushing attempts for the rest of our roster, 30 of which will likely go to Carr. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thing is if you’re paying a back that much as a back up and he’s that caliber as a caliber. Starter in the first rounder at rb. Then your third string shouldn’t matter Edited September 1, 2021 by Jeremy408 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if Brown signs for $1 million we are still on the hook for over $2 million. I'm not sure because he never played a game Edited September 1, 2021 by Bitty 2.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have kept Ragas sent Richard packing. I would have cut Richard right after we signed Drake. Drake is a better version of Richard, so he wouldn't have made it to camp if I was calling shots. Would have used that money on defense or OL 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprisingly Perryman was the #2 LB in the NFL according to PFF. Think that he starts over Kwit at MLB with Littleton as our other starting LB since we'll be in nickel more often than not.

That’s the thing he knows the system better than Kwit having played in it for years. Gus Bradley obviously liked him otherwise they would’ntve traded for him. His only issue is that he keeps getting hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
