SemperFeist Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Another snooze fest lol I've always found the last preseason game tough to watch, and it’s not because of the talent level on the field.There’s just something a bit morbid about watching players that aren’t going to make the team. We know it. They know it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelKing728 Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Last chance for some fringe roster guys. I'm interested in seeing how our team goes about UDFAs. Under Spielman, some undrafted rookie always seemed to make it every year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swede700 Posted August 25, 2022 Author Share Posted August 25, 2022 I'll be interested to see how they handle the 4th ILB spot (which is generally what is kept in a 3-4), as the battle will be between Dye and Lynch. I know most people seem to prefer Lynch (I really have no care one way or the other), but Dye is often running with the 2s in practice and they both play about the same on special teams. And then, of course, we have the punt-off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 (edited) I’ve always preferred Lynch over Dye. Dye is the better athlete and has the better range, but Lynch hasn’t always seemed to be the more instinctive linebacker. He also seems to do a better job disengaging from blocks and is the better tackler. Same goes for special teams. I’ve actually seen Lynch make a play, while Dye seems to just be running around.

And then, of course, we have the punt-off. Dye looks like a punter out there. I prefer Lynch though. Besides them, I'm interested in WR 5 and 6. I like Bisi and Nailor but I think Chisena steals a spot again. The CB group seems wide open after Peterson/Dantzler/Sullivan/Booth/Evans. I think Nickerson gets the last spot. And TY McGill should make the team. I don't think Twyman will make it unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Relax Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 True story - I was in Cleveland last weekend. As I was waiting for someone in the lobby of the hotel, two young men (early twenties) are arguing loudly, calling each other names, with a plethora of F-bombs accenting their disdain for each others position. What was the argument about? Politics? Religion? Beer? No, they were arguing about where Russell Wilson is from. It went something like this: Man 1: "You idiot! He played at the University of Wisconsin! He's originally from Wisconsin, you blankety blank blank! Man 2: "You are an effing moron! He transferred to UW after playing at NC State. He's from Norfolk, Virginia!" Me: "Gentleman. I'm from Virginia. I can tell you for a fact that Russell Wilson is from Richmond, Virginia. He was recruited to NC State from Collegiate High School in Richmond. Further, I was fortunate enough to meet both his father and his grandfather. Both were exquisite gentlemen. Google it if you don't believe me." (Pause) Both men stare at me as if I was a Martian. Then they continue to argue with one another as they got on the elevator. Man 1: I tell you he's from Wisconsin! Man 2: Norfolk, VA you jacka..!! Me: Sigh! It's hard to give factual information to some people. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzy Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 I wish Mond was playing in the 1st half or at least does, would be interesting to see him with Reed and Jesse Davis as the guards. I hope they do not cut Hinton but honestly would not hate if they kept Wyatt Davis over Reed or Jesse Davis just on potential but I doubt it.
