Mayer would get more opps and Tucker has as good a preseason as anyone. Wouldn’t be be ideal but we’d have options. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would've preferred one more veteran option, sucks that Gallup retired. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darbsk Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 7 hours ago, NYRaider said: 17 yards per game is a lot of promise to you? He hasn't shown anything to suggest he could be a reliable #2 WR, lol You’re just being obtuse as usual. You actually have to watch him play to see the big play potential. I wouldn’t say Tucker would be a #2 but he can certainly be a playmaker. His statistics were obviously negatively affected by being a rookie and having the awful Garoppolo at QB followed by the rookie throwing him the ball. In this scenario where Adams is injured, I would think Mayer and Bowers would take the lions share of ‘chain moving’ throws, Jakobi would be de facto #1 WR and Tucker would be the wild card. I don’t think he’s ever going to be a consistent go to option but he is a playmaker. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems strange, Snowden outplayed Mauga imo, plus we’ll mostly be in nickel so I was expecting 5 or 6 LBs only. TBH thought Burney and Masterson were on the bubble too.

Laube literally got body slammed and fumbled into a job not to mention tyree. Other teams aren’t afraid to cut busted rookies/ young guys. So many other rbs especially out there like gore jr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By all accounts Laube looked fine otherwise so it must be bigger than the few touches he got. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Tyree shows up early, asks questions, stays late, and heads over to APs after practice to do his yard work. Nonstop 24/7/365 commendable dedication. He still got outplayed when it mattered, and I don't care if Snowden skipped practice, hid in the locker room, dipped off early, and pissed on APs flowerbed. Now, with Laube, I'm ok with it. He's a rookie making a huge leap, and our Rb room was crowded this preseason. The RBs he beat out were McCormick, a UDFA who missed all of last year and wasn't spectacular, and Brown, a 26 year old former 7th rounder who is slow and plodding. Sensible to go with the perceived upside. Either way, I don't necessarily like it as I think it gives a "scholarship player" feel to a few guys, but none of the moves were particularly unexpected.

I heard Laube had a good camp. He didn't play that much in preseason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dessie Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 (edited) Nickel & DT as expected, wonder who will get released? Silvera/Young & Devonshire or a LB gets moved ? Edited August 28 by Dessie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s close (which it was) then it makes sense to go with the youngster. Wilson on the other hand probably didn’t deserve a roster spot but if we cut him his trade value is gone. Maybe we can lull someone into a trade if we hype him up a bit 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
