Guess Patrick is this years equivalent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's had injury problems throughout College and throughout his NFL career thus far. He also didn't play well with his opportunities last year, especially with Meinerz far outperforming him. The fact they couldn't get any picks for him shows how the league sees his film thus far too. I loved the pick when we made it, but yeah, this is not surprising. He was mostly bad in Shurmur’s system that should’ve been his sweet spot, there’s no way he can hang playing outside zone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul-mac Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Tomlinson only being released as a technical move to allow us to put players on IR boomerang. He is coming back tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broncofan Posted August 30, 2022 Author Share Posted August 30, 2022 (edited) Unless he’s coming back with IR moves or to the PS that early heavy amount of PT early in pre-season might have been Paton’s attempt to showcase him for trade value. Agree it was always a tough fit once they moved away from gap scheme to more zone. Guess we’ll find out in next 24 hours.

Cutler06 Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 With just one more cut to be made have to think Paton is trying to work a trade somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broncosfan_101 Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 We’re down to, what, 24 guys on offence? And then 11 DB’s still on the roster at this moment? The balance is a little off right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lomaxgrUK Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Still feel we are going to be on the waiver wire for a vet DL and maybe a vet CB. Players like Bassey, Saubert/Tomlinson, Patrick definitely still have nervy days ahead of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broncofan Posted August 30, 2022 Author Share Posted August 30, 2022 (edited) So Tomlinson certainly a given to come back. Will be interesting to see who the 2nd guy recalled ends up being. Sounds like it could be Purcell. Edited August 30, 2022 by Broncofan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broncofan Posted August 30, 2022 Author Share Posted August 30, 2022 (edited) Nice story but I’m surprised he beat Seth Williams. He played well though to be sure. Edited August 30, 2022 by Broncofan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broncofan Posted August 30, 2022 Author Share Posted August 30, 2022 So Johnson makes 53-man roster then goes on IR (only way he can return). That explains the Seth Williams cut - Johnson can be the big body guy presumably once he’s back. That means we can bring back 3 guys. Sounds like Purcell & Tomlinson are 2.
