RJ Ochoa's final preseason thoughts

Why does some (seems like 98%) say they need help at CB?

They have Revel, Durant, Bland (though may are down on him)

Kendrick, though not how sure his TC went. They kept Steard for a reason, after the claimed him from waivers before the season started.

Drafted Moore, but seems he has been up and down. However, put him on the field with the starters. His play would be better. As most players would be.

Will there truly be anyone out there to claim from waivers. They do not have trade capital. And what they do have.
Do you use it on CB, RT, LB (as many think we could still use).

I say go with who you have, other than OT depth.
 
Speaking of CB, I don’t see many mentions of Reddy Stewart making the 53. I thought he had some potential based on last season.
 
Hopefully, Dak might be capable of lasting throughout the season without a serious injury.:thumbup:

In the event Dak is forced to remain on the sidelines for any period of time, may it be very brief.

We need help at OT, after Steele there is Nate Thomas / Shelton (who is definitely not ready to play yet). And this is not even taking into account that Steele is a very weak point of this line and teams will take advantage of that.

CB, they are fine with CB 1, 2, & 3 but they believe talent falls off after that. They don't need Joey Porter level of talent and no way would they trade for him, but they just need a guy that can play. They will find one on the waiver wire after cut down.

the RB lineup is set and we will be fine the way that is.

I think we are good at DT, LB, definitely OK at safety (so much so that we will end up dumping a guy that could be starting anywhere else in Julius Wood)
Obviously, I am a little u sure what we have at DE but am hopeful. Yes we have to live with the world where there isn't a superstar at end on this team, but hopefully we can create pressure enough to keep QBs honest.

TE, I would like to see Ferguson, Spann-Ford, and Triggs but in any way, we are good there

WR, got probably the best group of WRs we have had over 30 years possibly ever (on paper at least until we see it). Obviously don't need help here, and will possibly drop some real talent at cut time (Mingo/Brown, Hudson). Imo we should keep 6 (includes Mingo and Brown), but if we only do 5 then Mingo would be my cut. I know some say Mingo does special teams also, but work it out. Don't cut Brown. I think he possibly could be the next George Pickens.... I know it's early and all that, just an opinion hence the word possibly. This is his floor and he shows this much, Mingo took years just to show what he has. Keep both is what I think they will do.

QB backups, oh boy I hope they don't keep both at least not on the 53. Cut one and put him on practice squad. Don't waste a roster spot on 3rd string qb. It is kind of a tossup with this preseason, but I tilt towards Milton.

He has been making plays and did again last night. He does have potential and I agree with you he should be on the 53.

I think they definitely need to do something at OT.
 
I’ll agree with Jerry (makes me feel dirty) on the QBs.

There’s going to be one major difference…..one is active and the other is emergency, so they will need to decide.

Hopefully…very hopefully….we never see either.

Because they really didn't have any outside CBs play well enough to be the 4th CB. It may have to be Caelen Carson or Ameer Speed. Moore needs a redshirt year as an inactive.

I don’t think anyone wants to see Kendrick, Steward or Moore as CB 4 they’re all jags imo.

it’s mainly because they are unproven and have injury history.

Beyond the first three you mention, the depth is paper thin.

McClay has said they are looking at CB. For what it’s worth, espn rated our CB room 19th. I personally think that’s high.

Of all of the defensive groups it’s the weakest.

I’m not sure who was suggesting m that any of the top five be subject to waivers but that seems like just trying to be cute.

Totally agree. I don’t see the issue at all at CB.

They aren’t overly impressive as a position group if isolated, but I think the defense will be fine overall as a unit.

Besides, you’re not getting a needle mover corner off final cuts.

Malik Davis as RB2? :laugh:

Does RJ Ochoa mean as in backup to Javonte Williams and will only get a handful of plays to play per game?

Even Jaydon Blue the supposed RB3 :lmao: will get more plays to run that "RB2" Malik Davis.

:muttley:
