Taking shots is not a CEH thing, I think

Jody Fortson said he found out he made the team by……. Patrick Mahomes

Dieter again?

Fingers crossed that Buechele and Gore clear waivers and are available to sign to the PS.

I like Fortson, Kemp and Fountain all making the roster.

Somewhere in there hopefully we find Mahomes next great receiver.

Remember the name JODY FORTSON JR!! Gonna be a stud

If the Burtmeister can somehow trade LDT for a 5th....

I still have a shot at my projected 53 man batting 1.000. I think an LDT trade is the only real possible wrinkle that could throw it off and even then, I presumed he'd be IR'd the next day to open a spot for someone else.

Like I said - It just didn't seem that difficult. And man is this better than the old days of being upset because the 54th guy probably wasn't any worse than the 35th.

I couldn't give a large rats ass if we retain any of these probable bubble cuts. There are people worried about losing Prince Tangowhatever and a random Gore (no, I never bothered to learn this person's first name). Who cares? These are nothing players in the grand scheme of things. They'd have been gameday inactives every week unless some RB gets hurt in which case we'll plug in a different fungible ball-carrier.

We good.

Did he suck in college? Did our wr/RB coach teach him not to follow the designed gaps. Dick PMII **** up telling Veach he wanted Clyde?

These are questions to be determined.

Is there any spot you might glance around the league at to see if someone shakes lose at? Like maybe another DE or something?

Only one I can think of would be WR but the issue there is you're looking for a possible #2 and those don't generally shake out and for it to be an upgrade over Hardman, it would need to be really good.

Game's just an Nth faster and I'm not sure he's quite adjusted to it.

He could pause/go at LSU and pick his way forward with that exceptional agility. Now he kinda needs to go first, then see if there's a moment to pause. I just don't think he has that first read and cut in motion thing figured out.

His vision was good in college - it's part of why I thought he was a really nice fit. But everything closes up quicker at this level and I think that first step/burst needs to be based on anticipation or feel. To my eyes that isn't coming naturally to him yet. He looks to be trying to think his way through the run before he kinda vapor-locks and shoots ahead.

It's honestly the last problem I expected him to have but it's a growing concern. Wouldn't take too much to dispense with it, but we've gotta see it first.

What worries me with CEh is that the feel thing we need him to have to find or anticipate holes isn't something you learn as much as just have a natural feel for.

Yeah, just WR or DE. If we replaced a DE I'd keep Ward over Okafor because Okafor's just not as stout at the point of attack as I expected him to be.

At WR, if John Brown gets cut by the Raiders as seems possible, I'd maybe kick the tires there. Then again, if he's getting cut by the Browns he's probably toast. I've always liked Brown.

Would also look at LB with Gay's injury and DoD being extremely 'meh'. Rams are said to be peddling Micah Kiser - he's probably nothing but he was an interesting looking prospect coming out.

If we could trade LDT for a 5th/6th and turn that around and get Jaylon Smith out of Dallas it would really beef up the Linebacker/Safety position, especially with Gay having an injury that can re-emerge fairly easily.:thumb:
