I think Allen97 is an underrated part of this team
We've been looking for ways to save cap dollars going into next year, and for a long time now people keep bringing up Allen97 as a guy we should cut.
Allen97 looks great this preseason and he's showing us that not only does he not deserve to be cut, but he's going to SOLIDIFY his starting spot on the line. Rakeem99, Chris95, and Tanoh92 all want time at this end spots and are good enough to get significant snaps, but Allen97 is showing this offseason that he's still currently the best DE on the team. And actually, his contract is a pretty good deal considering what he gives us. Other important players that we sort of take for granted are Ron38 and Justin50. Yes, Justin50. People are really overlooking the impact he's going to have on this team being fully healthy, and even if he's NOT fully healthy, he made a HUGE difference in setting the edge against run plays and getting coverage sacks. The guy still knows how to get it done and is guaranteed to get double digit sacks if he plays the full 16 games. And let's not forget about the unsung heroes on offense, either. Spencer32, Demetrius84, and Mitch61 are a big part of what we do when we run 2-TE sets and pound it on the ground. I want to see us run more of that this year and play around with getting different guys involved in the passing game out of that formation. Anybody else think Orson85 could see some success if he sticks around as a 3rd or 4th TE? Jah75 coming in as an extra lineman is okay on overload plays in short yardage, but I think Parker79 is a better option because he's sturdier and can move guys better instead of just absorbing them like Jah75 does. |

Much more interest in getting RNR under a long-term deal, but at least he will be a RFA, so there is reason for more patience there. Bailey has the year to impress for a new deal. This DL is going to wreck shit, if they stay healthy, and get a nice rotation in.

I think it's funny when you get the guys with uncommon first names.
Jah75 is my favorite. That one makes me laugh.

I hope Joel8 gets zero snaps tonight. That guy is terrible to watch.

He's also 25 years old. What good will spending the year on IR do for a 26 year old receiver that's never taken an NFL snap next Training Camp? |

Personally, I think, if healthy, he should make the team over Robinson. However, if they have decided that he is just missing the cut, they may decide to use IR to retain his rights another year. I believe the rules have changed so that you can now call up two players off IR so they may hold on to him in case of injury to a WR. Like I said, it depends on how severe the current injury is. I didn't see it happen so I 'm not sure what's wrong with him. |
