Chili Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Finally! i'm calling it - he will score the winning TD in the superbowl. Hoo Rah! Seriously. Didn't think we needed to add an 9th EDGE into the training camp competition. Interesting that he was chosen over Ryder Anderson who is much more physically gifted, figured perhaps the team might explore using him as a field goal blocker. Thought we would add another safety or TE instead as I felt the depth in those positions was a little short. Anyway, no long snapper competition. I'm a little surprised at that. Maybe we're just waiting for other LS to fail their tryouts elsewhere so that we can bring them here for another tryout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packfanfb Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 First 90-man roster is set. It will change multiple times between now and August. By this point last year, guys like Campbell, Cobb, Bojo and Kelly weren't on the roster. Gute will likely make a few similar moves in the next month or two. The two positions I think we'll most likely add to are DB and TE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i'm being wildly optimistic: Sign Sean Dykes [TE/FB] Sign Cameron Kaye [LS] - Release Molson [K] or Eberle [K] Sign Spillum [S] or Williams [S] - Release Tre Sterling [S] Sign Keke Chism [WR] - Release Danny Davis [WR] Sign Ryan Wisniewski [WR] - Release Rico Gafford [WR] Sign Ryder Anderson [OLB/DE] - Release Ladarius Hamilton [OLB] How did that workout for you Captain? 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I promise to break the news here first 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chili Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Another tryout guy to make the roster. Not sure who we cut to make room? I wonder why we didn't sign him right away after minicamp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 He's probably better than Sammy Watkins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chili Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 (edited) I hope Coco beats out Wirtel just because of this terrible play in the NFC Divisional Playoff game https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHk-stBnoIo Wirtel as far as long snappers go is an athletic freak. He's one of the fastest LS ever to come out of the combine which is great for getting down the field quickly. He's also 6'4" so he has that size and speed traits that made him an attractive LS prospect for us to develop. BUT....he's too upright and lacks that heavy set build to sustain his blocks as this video shows. Coco is slightly shorter but he's much stockier at 248lbs compared to Wirtel 235lbs. He's a little bit stronger and just as agile but he does concede to Wirtel everywhere else. Not only that he didn't long snap at all last season focusing on playing TE. Hopefully he has enough natural talent to transition back easily and play at a consistent level to compete with Wirtel. He has a great name though and therefore he should win the LS competition.

Not that great at not getting run over like a carboard cutout of a blocker… Honestly, that was pretty Bostick-y. Bostick and Wirtel sittin in a tree S-U-C-K-I-N-G First comes dumba$$ Then comes rag toss Then comes NFC championship loss!

First time watching that since it happened live. My guess is that is why Henry Black is no longer on this football team. Imagine being the position called "the protector" and not even looking at the rush, only your way out to track the punt. Just like Bostick, I imagine Wirtel and Black will not be on next year's squad as there are some blown assignments that are just unforgivable. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
