mattermind Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Is Sutton here to mimic Clowney or for development? Either way, great pickup! I'm glad Davis made it. Prefer him over Trenton, but just glad he hung on. Our practice squad looks outstanding. Terrific job, FO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred Jones Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Seastrunk! Boo! First in Aren't you supposed to be responsible, set the example and demonstrate restraint to show all the new and young posters what it is like to post during the regular season in the NFL? May have to move your mod locker next to Park City, a long time high-character poster and mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonard Washington Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I'm surprised they haven't signed Seastrunk. It's almost like they are trying to prove a point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's almost like they are trying to prove a point.It seems like the pint is that LS didn't do enough to ensure his place on the team.If he was really all that, they would have HAD to keep him.

KDawg Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 From what I saw from Seastrunk his zone tracks weren't great and he wasn't good in protection. Those are very big issues that could lead to serious problems. He's a developmental guy, and clearly Gruden didn't think he was a necessary component here.

AlldaySkins Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I was hoping we would put Davis on the PS. I like our Practice Squad for the most part other than hanging onto Chris Thompson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same thing that can be said about our right side of our offensive line but they kept them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovetoaster Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I'm surprised they haven't signed Seastrunk. It's almost like they are trying to prove a point. Well, it's also a two-way street. He may be evaluating other practice squad opportunities. I figured we would want him for our practice squad, but he may be holding out for an opportunity elsewhere. Who knows.

Diehard Otis Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I'm surprised they haven't signed Seastrunk. It's almost like they are trying to prove a point. Well, what I find interesting is that the guy hasn't landed somewhere else by now. One thing we've all learned about the NFL is that if you've got the talent, there's always a place for you. Could be that The Coaching Staff actually knows what they're doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was really all that, they would have HAD to keep him. If he was really all that, somebody else would've grabbed him too. There's gotta be something to all 32 passing on him.

TimmySmith Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Well, it's also a two-way street. He may be evaluating other practice squad opportunities. I figured we would want him for our practice squad, but he may be holding out for an opportunity elsewhere. Who knows. This is it. He does not want to be tied to the practice squad when he knows that an opportunity will arise. It may take a couple of weeks or a month, but he expects to be on a roster somewhere.

I figured we would want him for our practice squad, but he may be holding out for an opportunity elsewhere. Who knows. I don't know if a guy in his position has the luxury of sitting back weighing opportunities for more than 30 seconds. You wait too long and they'll just give it somebody else. Lot of competition for those spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCS Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 PS players can be signed at any time to another team's 53. Why forego a PS paycheck and not sign to one? That and not only an opportunity to get reps in,but possibly impress another coaching staff. I don't know if a guy in his position has the luxury of sitting back weighing opportunities for more than 30 seconds. You wait too long and they'll just give it somebody else. Lot of competition for those spots. Pretty much. Take what you can get. Gotta start somewhere,being on any team's ps is a good start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may take a couple of weeks or a month, but he expects to be on a roster somewhere. I don't think anybody knows that. And a guy who was a 6th round pick and had a couple decent preseason games definitely shouldn't be overly confident in such a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyron Biggums Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I am mildly surprised that no other teams, has shown in any interest in Seastrunk. I wish him the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
