Guys continue to cut themselves

[xwalker]

There better be a kicker in camp today. Seriously .. Maher will cost us games. We play a lot of close ones.

Most teams have 2 kickers in camp.

• That means up to 31 kickers that will get cut.
• Those are likely the 31 best kickers.
• If a kicker is available right now, there is likely an issue with that player.

The primary available kicker right now:
Matt Bryant
Age 44
Missed 3 games with a hamstring injury in 2018.
Has not kicked off since 2008.
Was 20 of 21 in 2018 (good percentage but most kickers have about 2x that number of attempts).
Likely wants more than league minimum (He made 3.5M in 2018).

Maher's 2018 season is probably a better indicator than the preseason or practice.
- All but 2 of his missed FGs last season were in open air stadiums.
- He only missed 6 total plus 1 that was blocked.
- The 52 yard attempt in this preseason game was open air stadium and windy.
- He has an issue with kicking from the right hash mark. The kick last night was on the right hash mark.

what was thought to be hard at the start of the PS has turned pretty easy as the games have shown who’s a player and who’s PS material.

Guys who have cut themselves:
White
JV Johnson
Weber
Hyatt

Guys who have made it tough for back end of roster:
Devin Smith
Justin Phillips
Gifford
Cedrick Wilson
Olumba
Joe Jackson
Hyder

Give it 2 more games and assuming most stay healthy that 53 will pretty much write itself.

I know the only 2 NFL backs on the team are Zeke and Pollard. With Olawale as the FB. They may keep Morris if Zeke doesn’t report but Weber is like Scarbrough last year. Nice flashy name given pedigree but not a factor.

If there’s a 3rd QB go find it from another team.

LBs will be interesting because if they only keep 6 a good player is going to be let go like maybe March Lillard.

DBs still not enough depth back behind the starters. Does Iloka know he’s allowed to be in on plays? I’ve seen him out there but he’s done nothing.

Flashy name ... 7th round pick. That does not at all compute.

 

[CapnB]

Every year during training camps across the league. This is pretty much what happens.

 

[HungryLion]

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.

If players could use Stick em. Johnson would be a lock for the roster.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

I would not say Weber cut himself. He needs better opportunities with better players.
Morris looked awful last night, Weber is I front of him.

OL talent past Fleming Sua Filo and Looney is awful.

I think White is gone. weber, Johnson to the PS. although Jackson maybe a candidate to get cut and we keep weber.

Flashy name as in big production in college from big program.

 

[Parcells4Life]

OL talent past Fleming Sua Filo and Looney is awful.

Once McGovern gets healthy and up to speed he should at least be serviceable. At least he better be for a 3rd round pick

 

[AbeBeta]

Flashy name as in big production in college from big program.

Umm, no.

He was always a rotation player. Never a lead back.

That's not "flashy"

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Let’s be real about Maher. He’d be cut if he didn’t have such a big leg. I don’t think one preseason game should determine if he’s on the roster or not. But I kind of feel like this is what he is. Big leg but inconsistent she if Garret I wouldn’t want that on my roster in a make or break year.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

OL talent past Fleming Sua Filo and Looney is awful.

Isn’t that all you need? McGovern as well.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Isn’t that all you need? McGovern as well.

He looks like he's going IR.

 

[Beaker42]

I agree with you, these guys are cutting themselves.

I just hope we don't lose a guy like Joe Jackson. That guy is disruptive.

He could be a David Irving-like 3T.

 

[Beaker42]

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.

If he can improve his hands he’d be a b***h to cover in the slot.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

I don’t care if he’s old. Matt Bryant is 10x the kicker of Maher

Or the Japanese kicker I keep on about

 

[ElGatoGrande]

Weber really got minimal chances to do anything. The blocking was bad.

My sentiments as well. I felt sorry for the running backs running behind that line. Chaos and buffoonery, the RBs didn't have a chance. At least the pass protection was "semi-decent",,, sometimes.

 

[America's Cowboy]

Weber would perform much better running behind at least the 2nd string Oline. Can't do much behind a porous 3rd string Oline.

Morris is too old and too slow. He will be cut soon enough. Earned himself a nice and quick million for a training camp fill in.

Darius Jackson is fighting for the 3rd string spot, along with Jordan Chunn. Difference is Chunn is pretty good playing special teams while Jackson is not.

It will be interesting to see who the Cowboys keep at 3rd string RB. It's between Weber, Jackson and Chunn. Morris is a goner. Olawale as FB is also not a guarantee if Cowboys find a better replacement during final cuts.

 

[Alexander]

OL talent past Fleming Sua Filo and Looney is awful.

Micah Hyatt is a case and a half. Came in as some sort of steal. Didn't see it in college, certainly don't see it in the pros.

I never bought into the Hyatt hype since day one he was signed.

 

[America's Cowboy]

What a waste of a 2nd round pick on Trysten Hill. They guy needs several training camps just to perform as expected at this point.
