I had him as a double minus due to his two holding penalties on kick returns. That's unfortunate that Kwenkeu got injured, because I understand he was having a pretty strong camp, especially on special teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chandler is now the lead candidate for the #2 RB spot and Reagor and Powell both had good showings to put some heat on Nailor for WR4. I think that with players like Nailor and Nwangwu, the coaching staff really knows what they have already and action in the third/fourth quarter of a preseason game isn't going to move the needle too much for them. They've been on the team for 2 and 3 years, respectively. Unless they sign Kareem Hunt or another FA RB, Nwangwu is safe (especially after McBride's less than stellar performance returning kicks). I think Reagor and Powell are battling each other for WR5 more than they're battling Nailor for WR4. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VikeManDan Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Agree to disagree, especially on Nwangwu. He's earned his roster spot as the KR but has done little to earn his keep as a RB and he needs to show some improvement. That will come with reps in a game and with the practice reps he's showing which the staff sees as you point out. Perhaps they're comfortable with what he's been doing but the visit by Hunt can probably make some eyebrows raise. You're probably right on the Reagor/Powell/Nailor battle though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swede700 Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 As far as I'm concerned, I see no reason to keep Nwangwu. With the KR made virtually irrelevant and his ability to show no competence at anything other than that, he'd just take up a roster spot that someone else can fill. Ty Chandler can throw up his hand to fair catch too. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would tell us all we need to know about pursuing a veteran like Hunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 If the decision was keeping Ngwangwu, or signing Hunt, I’d sign Hunt every time. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We usually only use 2 RBs to spell each other during games. Nwangwu will hardly ever be called in likely to spell Mattison/Chandler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the only other special teams he could play on. And last I've heard there's several others on punt coverage that already would have a leg up on him, notably a guy like NaJee Thompson, who sounds like he's been one of the guys standing out on special teams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
