You just cant go around blowing out 3rd and 4th rounders after one season. I saw it mentioned that Tuerk is probably a goner as well. There is something to be said about developing players you draft. If you spend a 3rd on a guy and after one season if you think its a bad pick thats more on TT than it is the player. I just cant see those 2 guys getting cut already.

Meh, fourth rounders get the early axe a lot, or at least enough times to where it's a realistic possibility. If Perry isn't a fit, no need to keep him around.

I don't know where the Tuerk stuff is coming from. I'm fairly confident the team will stay patient with him. They knew what they were getting into.

Perry is more of a fit in our new system than he is a 34. He was a weakside OLB for OSU and very productive. He was good at filling the gap and stuffing lanes. He will be an asset he just needs to develop. TT has to be thinking he will do better in this new offense. Wether its the Under or Traditional he will recognize the language and it should just be more natural for him. Id be shocked if he were let go this year. But ill eat crow if he is.

Yeah, Perry probably will get at least another season. Dzubnar is a much bigger candidate to get cut. Nortee Dame guy or Nigel Harris will make it imo

[Fleet]

Yeah Dzubnar would be my guess to make room for Onwualu. I read that he was really sought after by teams after the draft. I wonder if he got a small bonus. Hes just raw. Only has a few years of LB experience after going to school to play WR. Still learning.

[Antonio's Gates]

I don't know if this has been mentioned, but I could see mccoil moving to LB as well. Profiles well there under Bradley and could give him the best chance to make the team. With Jenkins and King added, the safety group has gotten crowded.

[bonehead]

Forgot about McCoil... his "hybrid" status could make him a great fit for Bradleys system

[Formula 21]

Dzubnar has been solid for this team. I hope he makes it again. I like him more than Perry.

That said, this is a new coaching staff with new schemes, there will be player changes.

[Asela]

While i agree Ekelers competition did not look great he definitely refused to go down easily and displayed speed and quickness you look for. If he is coachable i think he has a resl shot at a roster spot with Danny gone.

Yeah you could see some skills useful at the NFL level. Seemed like he had good anticipation of tacklers in the hole and in the open field to elude and break away. But his speed at that level probably meant defenders taking poor angles as well, unexpecting his speed. His hands seemed quite good. I wonder if he can handle punts and KOs.

The last part of the clip for the long TD. Wasn't that Vincent Jackson's old school? Colorado Mines something [emoji6]

Ekeler is the only rb the abolish brought in, yeah, he has a shot.

Who's spot does he take though?

Gordon
Williams
Oliver
Barner
Farrow

Have to think three, maybe four will be carried. if Ekeler can show out on special teams, he's got a chance, but I think Oliver, Andre, and Barner have a pretty solid chance of being on the team.

[Fleet]

Lynn stated that Barner was the returner. Im wondering with King now drafted if that changes. I assumed Barner was going to be given some of those Woody plays.

It may come down to a battle between Barner and Ekeler.

Im also expecting some decent RBs to be released by teams who drafted RBs. I like guys like Alfred Blue. Maybe Jeremy Hill or Bernard.

Good point. You have to have a rb on the PS, he would fit there because it's a long jump up in competition for him.


It's hard to believe they didn't bring in at least one banger. Maybe a former pro is out there somewhere to sign.
