Get used to draft picks, especially late ones, not making the team. Denmark and Fitts and Bullard gone.
Guys that really showed potential are going to get cut also, Ives, Horsted, Bunting Nall to.
Good teams don't have room for everyone.
Sad to see some of them go but much happier to be in position we are in rather than a few years back keeping any warm body that had an inkling of talent
Seriously that's freakin weird. Don't know WTF Ryan Pace is thinking there. Bars is probably the MOST likely cut to not clear waivers as lots of teams need OL depth. Lucas was total trash in the PS. I don't get it.
And....they kept 6 ILBs! That's way overkill. 5 is the max you need.
Did you watch Lucas in the PS? He was an Omiyale-like turnstyle and OMG-level-of-awful.
Bars was easily the most promising of the reserve OLs who played this August.
So let's recap what the team has and has done at OT this year behind their two starters:
Took an experienced and serviceable reserve OT and turned him into a project @ Y-Tight End that no defense will take seriously as a receiver
Lost another reserve OL to season-ending IR
Lost their other backup OT (who was also a conversion/project) to an elbow injury he hasn't returned from yet
Cut their best UDFA G/T to keep a garbage player who probably even the Houston Texans wouldn't want
I sure hope Harry Heistand has a crystal ball and already somehow knows that Leno & Massie will stay completely healthy this year.
Yes, that’s why I said Lucas over Bars doesn’t make sense to me. Lucas is a giant crap sammich. He looks like JWebb.
Leno looked bad his first years also. if they feel he has more upside at OT in the long term they are going to keep him.
if HH wanted him over his college player then that should give everyone reason to pause about Bars.
people put to much impotence into how they see PS performance. the coaches never put much weight into it, ever. we see this every year there are guys that light up other guys that are going to get cut and over weight it. coaches are obviously look at different things in the PS game tape.
