Anyone else notice that both Raymer and Friedman made the team? That is really surprising. Also, did anyone notice that Lemar Marshall is the only MLB on the squad? That is even more surprising. I wonder who is going to be the 2nd string MLB? I can't imagine the coaching staff making Marshall (an "undersized" guy) play 90% of all defensive snaps.

holdman will be backup mlb

mooby · 09-03-2005, 08:44 PM

zak keasey is a middle linebacker, he got playing time there during preseason and he excelled, we don't need another backup olb.

mccune and wilds? hopefully both of them and warner hit the PS... i thought wilds played better last year than ade... pray our CBs stay healthy, we're not very deep there.

That Guy · 09-03-2005, 09:20 PM

holdman has played mlb a good bit, and marcus washington has run as an mlb in practices, and both of those guys are starters...

None of these were suprises though for a while I thought Dyson might have a shot, but by him not playing special teams probably sealed his fate.

While many of us liked McCune, the only thing I got to see of him is his build. I didn't see much of him in the pre-season games, at least not enough to make a decesion as to whether he warranted a spot on the 53.

I'm really suprised by the cuts of Wilds and Mccune and on a smaller level Warner. Sure Wilds would have been ranked 4th on the depth chart but thankfully that would have meant no more Ade. Mccune was pretty quiet this summer which can be both a good and a bad thing for a rookie. Hopefully these three and Farris stick with the practice squad.

jermus22 · 09-04-2005, 12:47 AM

Personally, I'm happy for the most part with the decisions made by the coaches. Like many of you, I'm surprised we kept both Raymer and Friedman. You'd think Wilson would've been a better option, especially to back up Jansen (although Ray Brown can do that too). I'm not sure Friedman has done much to stay with the team, but perhaps he's seen as the best backup option to Dockery. Raymer will be a valuable backup for his experience.

I'm also surprised we kept both Killings and Boschetti. I would've thought Warner would've made the team ahead of one of them, and I also wished we could've kept Aki Jones.

Despite Jacobs' injuries and Antonio Brown's drops, I'm not surprised that they're both with the team. If Jacobs returns, he will undoubtedly beat out Thrash and Brown for the 3rd spot, and he could eventually challenge for a starting position. Farris deserves to make the practice squad. Dyson might also make the PS, although his best quality (veteran leadership) is something we already have in Patten and Thrash. Parson had some nice kick returns, but they were due mostly to bad tackling; he probably won't be back. Gotta feel bad for him.

I'm pretty sure he's not eligible actually

I was thinking the same thing.

Everybody's griping that Jimoh wasn't cut. WHY??? Wilds will definitely be on the practice squad, and if we face any teams who regularly employ 4 wideouts we can activate him and put Omar Stoutmire on the PS.

Jimoh's main strength is special teams, and he's also a team player and character guy. I'm not sure why people are so concerned.

Here's my wish list for the practice squad:

1. Ron Warner (Nic Clemons beat him out, but he's still a great backup)

2. Garnell Wilds (a very solid guy overall; could be a #3 corner on some teams)

3. Jimmy Farris (the guy deserves a spot after his hussle and excellent preseason; we also need depth with brittle guys like Jacobs and Moss as well as older players like Thrash and Patten)

4. Aki Jones (his effort impressed me; I hope he continues to develop)

5. Rufus Brown (with recent injuries to Harris and Rogers, we might need him later)

6. Mark Wilson (could be important to have around if we have another OL injury)

7. Robert McCune (he didn't impress me, but he still has potential; it might give him the time and motivation to show his potential)

8. This one is a toss-up between two guys: Robert Johnson and Jared Newberry (Johnson could provide some depth at H-B/TE, especially with White hurt; Newberry probably didn't do well enough to stay, but maybe like McCune he needs time to show his potential)

Alright, those are my picks. I expect some flack from somebody about 'em. Have fun picking it apart.

P. S. I didn't know Dyson wasn't eligible for the PS. Thanks for letting me know Tafkas.

That Guy · 09-03-2005, 09:27 PM

we have 5 DTs... i would have ditched killings(DT), evans (DE), and raymer(C) for those three, or at least one DT for another CB.

the rest looks like what you'd expect... wilson played in 0 games last year (i think) and had trouble in the ravens game, molinaro has played special teams and at DT last year.

BigSKINBauer · 09-03-2005, 09:52 PM

RON WARNER! Damn, McCune- i liked him and Wilds i thought would make the team.

Why O why O why does wilds get cut and the ade stay?

Friedman and Raymer both live?

JWsleep · 09-03-2005, 09:54 PM

Wonder if we'll pick up another backup O Tackle? We've only got one on the depth chart--Molinaro. I know old-man Ray can play out there if he has to, but that's pretty thin.

I guess that Holdman and the rest can backup at MLB. McCune is a work in progress, no doubt. Hope he develops--a good PSQ guy.

Might we pickup a vet CB? I keep thinking that Ade isn't much for depth there, but I guess they like him....
