Chris Roland Wallace is currently sweating bullets...him and Nic Jones.

Veach has all my trust when it comes to defensive backs.

I will say that I'm surprised that we've signed Bailey Zappe before we've brought in a RB3, though.

What if this is the RB room?

Zappe just signed to the PS, so no impact on our 53-man roster

I don't see how that's even reasonably possible. We'd be setting ourselves up for serious problems. However, it does look like that might be the case.

Seems insane to me, but I'm not going to question these guys. Clearly they just do not value the position anymore and think they can find guys on the street if the need arises. Crazy, but I'll trust them.

.

Well, if they can make it work with those three, I'll trust their vision.

It's just a little odd not going with a true RB3.

They'll be putting another one on the PS but if they are going to carry 4 TE's and 7 WR's this is what it's gonna be for the moment.

Im over Jones but Id like to see more of Roland Wallacce

Bush & RB Bailey to PS

Oh Bailey went to the PS, wonder if that means they are over Deneric Prince.

Prince may be hoping for a chance with another team.

Loved Emani Bailey's college highlights, and thought he had a little spark in the third preseason game with his speed. Obviously he's undersized, so unsure of his ceiling.

Prince can get ****ed.

I think I’d keep Roland Wallace over jones.

I’d rather have Nick Jonas than Nic Jones

REMIGIO on PS

Burnt Vag strikes again!

Print em.

4.71, woof.

Top end speed might not be there, but look how dude moves.

Like he's in quicksand?

I mean ultimately you have to assume it was just a bad day, slow track or he was hurt.

Because a 4.71 CB just won't play in the current NFL, IMO. There's sub-optimal speed and then there's THAT.

4.71 is rough for a safety. It's disqualifying for a CB.

Appears he pulled his quad running the 40 the first time and pulled up down the stretch for that 4.7.

Latter efforts put him in the low/mid 4.4s.

Okay - that works.

That time just didn't make sense. You don't have those kind of explosion scores and run that slow. Figured there had to have been an injury in there.

No, I'm saying watch his tape. His top end speed is really good, but perhaps not elite. His quick movements in coverage, though, look really solid.

I'm not sure any of his tape looks like quicksand, fortunately.

There we go.

We just got another shut down corner folks

This makes a lot of sense. I've wondered why some draft hopefuls don't just rerun the 40 after the combine and promote the updated results to teams.

I’m sure they do that with teams.

Whether the draft gurus substitute in the alternate times in RAS evaluations is another matter.

They will, but they aren't 'official' times, so all you get are leaked times that are semi-trustworthy.

I suspect the Cowboys got him to run for them and got a time in the 4.45 to 4.55 range and that's what got him drafted.

Cowboys just did another Charvarius Ward


Actually, didn't we trade for Ward and not just claim him?

Yup, we traded Parker Ehringer.

After drafting Ehringer with the pick we got from the 49ers for trading back to 37 from 28. Where we took Chris Jones.

They took Joshua Garnett with our 1st. He started 11 games for them before washing out of the league.

So that worked out alright for us...

(and yes, I got that one quite a bit wrong)

Excuse me, good sirs, but it's Ehinger, not Ehringer

He's gone.

Bailey gone also...guess Scott was around for 5 seconds.

"Eat **** pie, queer. - Sweet Daddy Hate" - Brett Veach

Wait...I thought they cut jones for Scott in the first place?

I'm assuming we end up throwing Scott on the practice squad if/when he clears waivers, and keep both him and Jones.

But who knows.

Well...at least he didn't get far from home when he came up here.

Oof.

People come and go so quickly around here.

You'd hope so.

Lot of teams have filled their PS already and may just not see adding him as worth the trouble. Sort of a musical chairs thing when it comes to PS spots.

So if the Chiefs don't have a spot for him, they kinda did him dirty.

Then again, if they waived Nic Jones to add him to the active roster, it clearly says they like him more than Jones. So should he clear waivers, it would see likely that they'd cut Jones from the PS to make room for Scott.

Wouldn't surprise me if he gets claimed this time around, though. Some team says "Hell, if Spags/Veach wanted him, there must be something there..."

I hope we at least paid for his parking.

Nic Jones played ST’s a lot this Summer. I bet they had Scott and Jones neck and neck and Toub got the final call due to Nic’s experience here already
