e16bball Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 In addition to Jermaine Eluemenor, the Dolphins also cut another former Ravens OL in C Matt Skura. He had some yips with snapping the ball last year, but I’d think he’d probably be a better backup center than Larsen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think so too but Larsen had the most important characteristic for getting a job with Rivera, he played in Carolina. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e16bball Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 The Ravens cut DB Nigel Warrior, and I’ve seen some folks disappointed by that development. As you all know, I think there’s no better organization in the league than the Ravens, so if you can get your hands on some of their fringe players — especially on defense — you should always do it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t have a problem with it. The question becomes is he a better option than Darryl Roberts who it seems they are considering as one of their final roster spots? I just read he’s a safety that the Ravens were trying to convert to corner bc like us they had a log jam at safety. Presuming he’s able to play decent at corner, I don’t have a problem signing him but, I know nothing about him or who’s better between him and Daryl Roberts.

ovfd55 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Chargers cut Joe Reed Could be the returner we've been looking for(Also I'm a UVA Homer) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think DeAndre Carter is guy for both positions w/ Jarrett Patterson possibly being our kick off returner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARTMONK HOF Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 (edited) Add Kyle Lauletta, Clayton Thorson, KJ Costello, Jordan Ta’amu Brett Rypien, Will Greer Any of these guys you would rather have than Kyle Allen?

Pretty big no on that one from me. I think Allen is probably pretty comparable in quality to the two guys we have in front of him. Those guys...not so much. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e16bball Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Saw that the Jets let go of TE Ryan Griffin. That’s another guy we could consider instead of Seals-Jones for that TE3 spot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtle28 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Josh Harvey Clemons was cut by the Dolphins. I have the feeling Rivera wouldn't want to give him a chance bc he sat out last year bc of Covid & Rivera already released him earlier in the offseason but, I think he’s a better linebacker than the guys we just cut like Mayo, Norris, Jordan Kunaszyk & what Joe Walker showed for us.

No, Allen knows the offense & has upside with a strong arm and being athletic. I have no idea if Allen will ever be anything more than a back up but he has some untapped potential & the coaches like him for that reason. I would sign Ta’Amu, Rypien or Grier to the practice squad though. Ta’Amu was here during the rookie mini camp & Grier was obviously drafted while Rivera was in Carolina so, I’d do that but I wouldn’t dump Allen to put them on the 53-man active roster.

ARTMONK HOF Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 (edited) As E said Matt Skura-C and I would like us to pick up Jordan Howard. He could easily take over short yardage and I believe even more. He probably would want to start, might not entertain coming here.

e16bball Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Saw that the Panthers released LB Josh Bynes. He never played for Rivera there, so the dots don’t connect quite as easily, but he’s a pretty proven veteran OLB who has played a lot of football. Seems like he would be a solid guy to plug in as a reserve on this roster. And speaking of guys who did play for Rivera for a number of years, FB Alex Armah got cut by the Falcons. I know we don’t really use a FB...but that’s a guy who used to handle short-yardage carries for Rivera, who plays a lot of ST snaps, and who would give us a dimension we don’t currently have as a real life lead blocker. Granted, we don’t have a RB who can run behind a lead blocker. But...you know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ovfd55 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 (edited) Jahlani Tavai or Micah Kizer are both LBer with starts under the belt and still young that would be interesting Edited September 1, 2021 by ovfd55 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
