You forgot a big one...Maher. He must go. Dallas would be stupid to cut Hyder. He is a solid vet. I will add one more...Frazier. He can’t play S in the NFL. Zero cover skills.

Iloka and Donovan are meh too. Along with Frazier, they're all cutable, which is good, because I expect us to bring in another SS.

Iloka goes first.

Agree.

Weber never got to see daylight on the inside.
- He had a nice bounce to the outside for a decent game.

Morris didn't see much daylight either but he looked old and slow.
Morris is a downhill back.

What he was doing with attempting juke moves........kinda baffled me. Bad OL or not. If you need three, he'd usually get that.

He did look slow but when White played, everything looked slow.

Still, I agree with you. He's done.

I like jon vea Johnson's speed, route running, etc. unfortunately, he has to hold on to the ball. much like noah brown in that respect.

The biggest thing I disagree with that is being said about him is he has hands of stone. His problem doesn't appear to be bad hands to me; in fact, some of the catches he has made would dispute that. His issue is concentration/poor technique. He has both tried to run before securing the catch and not used his hands well. These are things that can be taught ... although not every player is willing to learn.

There better be a kicker in camp today. Seriously .. Maher will cost us games. We play a lot of close ones.
Which,when considering the talented capabilities we've amassed on the roster, shouldn't continuously be the case,tho those division rival games are always gonna be an "on the ground & to the wire" tussle affair it seems,,,I do covet the extended range that leg of our #2 do pooch it thru with,,,er,,,sometimes,,,just sayin'o_O

* didn't he nail a 62 yarder last year?

I can't say why he drops the ball, only that he does. All too often.

I don't think it's very hard to see, and if you watched the Dallas broadcast of Saturday's game, Darryl Johnston pointed it out on his drop against LA. On that one, he had his hands turned wrong, so instead of catching the ball with his hands turned up, he tried to "basket" catch it and the ball bounced off. On the very first drop he had against San Francisco, he took his eyes off the ball, assuming the catch and was looking at his next move with the safety coming up. On the pass that was jarred loose against San Fran, he tried to body-catch it, which allowed the defender to knock it out.

No doubt it's happening all too often to keep him on the 53, but it's a fixable problem. It isn't necessarily like it was with Randall Williams, who truly did have hands of stone.
