Really surprised when we let him go. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love it From a financial stand point, it's not exactly low risk. They're taking on 3 years and about $17M of his deal. I know this organization can afford it with the cap room in 2022, but that's significant for a guy who's complete s*** right now 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has the build and seemingly athleticism, however his footwork, hands, technique and power all sucked. He was getting bull-rushed into the QBs lap by UDFAs. His body language totally sucked too, just looked totally defeated out there. I question if he has any confidence left. And yes a l know a lot of the above could be fixed with coaching, so I hope you have a good OL staff. However these problems have been consistent for 3+ years at powerhouse Alabama and a couple in the NFL (two off seasons at least). I honestly hope he does well for you guys. I hated the pick day one but never hated Leatherwood himself. Seems like a great kid. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We tried him at RT first year one, once it was blatantly obvious he couldn't handle it we kicked him inside to G where he still was poor. He let up the most pressures in the NFL last year iirc. Then this off season with a brand new staff, we tried to get him at RT again but he was still a total flop. We played around with him at G again but ultimately just cut our losses. I think LG would give him the best chance to succeed, as he played most of his time at Bama at LT iirc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only a 3 year/$5.9 million contract remaining I don't love the player obviously as he has been bad to date - but if you don't think of him as a first round pick, but a bottom of roster UDFA or late round pick with potential starting upside at some point if a light comes on it changes perspective. Same with N'keal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuskieBear Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 CB Josh Blackwell (PHI) DE Jonathan Kingsley (BUF) G Alex Leatherwood (LV) NT Armon Watts (MIN) LB Sterling Weatherford LB (IND) TE Trevon Wesco (NYJ) Who we think getting cut/IR'd? Mind you these are all speculations on my part Kinksley -> Robinson (IR) - hurt his knee in last game, goes on IR for at least 4 games and we have ourselves a little try out Leatherwood -> Carter (cut) - i think Thomas has better upside to replace whitehair at LG, so the cut comes from the backup RG Weatherford -> Johnson (IR) - Johnson was one of our best ST players last year, but hurt his knee against Seattle and goes on IR Wesco -> Tonges (cut) - pretty obvious, we have a FB and this should be a simple one in one out situation Watts -> Pennel (cut) - Pennel is a 9 year vet, we know what he is. I think Poles goes young on the roster and keeps Tonga who they like and Blackson Blackwell -> Harry (IR) - this move is obvious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I now live in Richmond, VA. My current girlfriend and I have been together for 5 years so we know each other pretty well. A few months back her son did something (I can't recall what now) that pissed me off. Instead of yelling at him I looked at him and said, "You good. Don't worry about it," and walked away. An hour later he came up to me and said, "My mom told me that when you said you were good and not to worry about it that meant that things definitely were not good and that I should be terrified. I'm sorry." I guess it's it true...lol. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone from Midwest says that to you and they are a friend, you may want to ask some follow up questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
