Can We Justify a Roster Spot for Mika Tafua

[Jake]

It's relevant to the makeup of the team, but I get that you don't care about guys fighting to make the bottom of the squad. And yes, neither of us are right or wrong for our opinion. For something you don't care about, your response to the OP was pretty insulting. Would have been better to just leave it unsaid. Anyhow, that is my opinion and apparently the opinion of a few others that read the comments and responded.

So when someone starts a thread about a player a member doesn't know, asking "Who?" is insulting?

Fortunately, that's not a rule here. Otherwise, we'd have to punish people for being genuinely unfamiliar with the 80th guy on the training camp roster.

Ridgeway as a DT not an edge has his own crowded meeting room to beat out and based on what what I’ve seen he’s headed for the PS as depth . Certainly he’s behind OSA Gallimore Bohanna Watkins and Trysten Hill .

The reason I mentioned Ridgeway, by the way, is in the case we keep 11. I don't think you can include Ridgeway, or Tafua for that matter, if you keep 11. It would be about keeping an extra guy.

The other reason I think Tafua has a chance is because of how this draft played out. Not all of the players who had draft grades were able to be drafted. There was a surplus of players with draftable grades. So you can justify keeping an UDFA over a late rounder.

I'm like a few others on here. I don't care if you were drafted. I want the best players on the team. If that's Tafua, cool. If not, cool too.

Offer him a contract, that'll probably do it....

Yeah, more of a brain shower, really.

 

[Pass2Run]

Yeah, more of a brain shower, really.

You know if some of us could select our own personal, 53-man roster without anyone knowing, we would totally do that.

Do what, offer him a contract?

If only we could be the GM....

No

It takes a real ****** bag to be so offended at being called numbnuts that
he cries at you in PMs, disables your ability to respond and benches you for 3 days.
Then tells you to start acting like an adult... lol. Hilarious.

 

[America's Cowboy]

Very simple...

Nope.

He has potential...but he's a Practice Squad guy for now.

 

[RoboQB]

LMAO - Jake literally just posted before you that he honestly didn’t even know the guy was on the team. This site is a mocrocosm of what’s wrong with the world right now.

Honestly? How could you know that?
You think my intuition is wrong and yours is right.
How so?
World problems in the Dystopia 'Zone!?! No way.

Too bad he caved in to the lash back and overpaid for that "who".

I do that but do not disclose the results because I am to good at it .And dont like to brag

I'm not referring to sack stats. I just haven't seen him do anything that caught my eye.

I did see Ridgeway, and just wasn't impressed.

Ridgeway was even more invisible than Golston.

 

[BAT]

I don't think that will be a problem, don't see that he's showed that much, made a couple of plays but he's not going up against all first stringers.

No one went against 1st stringers prior to Seahawks game.

It's preseason.

 

[Pass2Run]

Yeah, I don't think Tafua actually makes it. There's a spot for a guy like Tafua right now. But I think an extra roster spot should go to Brandon Smith. He's the one who has the kind of talent it could make you regret cuting him.

I think they should roll out with Fehoko in Cooper's old role.

Ridgeway was even more invisible than Golston.

I agree.

I'm so sour on Ridgeway it's not even funny.

I'd just cut him.

Duh!

That's not the point, we were talking about a specific player, not germaine to the discussion what the rest of the team was doing...

 

[Creeper]

PLaying in the 4th quarter of the last preseason game, to me, means he is a longshot to make the team. But McCarthy likes him so maybe he makes the practice squad.

 

[Dak_Attack_09]

Not being "obtuse" at all. I've literally never heard of him, and highly doubt I ever will in a real NFL game.

But be edgy, if you want.

You didn’t watch the pre-season game then.

 

[LACowboysFan1]

One thing for sure, whoever is kept on the 53 man roster they'll be folks here who will have the screaming reds about the decision...

 

[BAT]

Out of the 4 rooks pictured, guess which one does not have a single sack or TFL in preseason.

Left to Right:

Mika Tafua, Sam Williams, John Ridgeway, Big Kat Bryant
