Code rose?

Not a darn thing wrong with your reference Mojo, no need to apologize.

I know it's tough to break up the chemistry of the ST crew, but I'm surprised we didn't have a few LS spend some time in camp

I get the same anxiety, but somehow it seems to be Cheesies snaps that are the cause. Sure handed Tress has probably saved the Cheese a few times.

The Bears released Alex Leatherwood.....

Let's do it! Kuntz for free?

I don't think he can talk to other coaches until he is released

The more I think about it, I agree with a previous poster that Armahs place is almost a given. If EB implemented a set number of plays involving a FB, and Armah was the only one we had, it appears that his roster spot is almost a given. Otherwise, Why waste our precious TC reps?

3 QBs is a luxury, and neither of the backups is some young rookie you want to hold onto to "groom." We can't afford to keep 3 imo. Dallas just released Will Grier who I think has more potential than Jake. So I think it would be relatively safe to release Fromm and move to PS without some other team sniping him

@KDawg Thats 23 on O with 4 guards

Thanks. Catching the dang ball is kinda important for a receiver. I wonder if he had bad hands in college or during TC. If we keep him, I hope this was just bad luck

Depends on the truck stop (and Bud Light consumption.) Ok...I'll see myself out

I couldn't get the game last night, but did pick up in the GDT that Kaz had a bad night. Especially a refence from RR post game presser about Kaz taking his eyes off of a punt. Did Kaz do anything else to further seal his fate? I like Kaz potential as a returner, but I guess making a return "exciting" can be both good and bad lol

OJ Howard was cut by the Raiders. I know some here really liked him a few years back

We are WR heavy and will have to make some tough decisions at that position, why not trade Milne for Winters?

I get that, but there's not a lot about our current O-line makeup that would earn the adjective "ideal" at the moment. lol I'm not saying that Ricky should be named as as starting Center atm, just more work with the 1s and 2s. , Of course rookies at either position have a little growing pain at calling protections.Thats why you have TC and pre-season to gain a little experience and see how things progress. IMO it's a MUCH better option than labeling him as a 3rd string but future starter as you still go into the regular season without even knowing if you have a starting LG.

Because it seems that almost all of us need some grounding here: Sam WILL break our hearts a few times this season. It's just what Rookie QBs do. I recall well when this board went nuts for Cousins, and then screamed that he should be benched after a bad pick. Even Cousins demeanor seemed to show self doubt. But with games came growth. I excited and optimistic to watch Sam grow. But he's not superhuman. Prepare for some heartbreak along with the puppy love

I still don't see why Strom isn't getting reps at C and let Gates take over at G. Seems too obvious to work I reckon. Strom will only grow with reps

Yep, your enthusiasm was contagious. He was one of my "must draft" guys after reading your posts

90% vs 10% I haven't gone back to see if Armah did well enough in blocking to overcome his ball carrying weakness. Do you remember catching him proving his worth last night? btw, I'm not @you on this, I've got mad respect for you my brother. Just wondering if Armah is the guy and I know that you're a fan of his

Yeah, someone mentioned a few days ago that it would nice to have a FB who could break tackles on occasion. I forget who but wisdom spits outta his mouth.

Thank you to all for your responses and thoughts. I'm aware that FB is not the position for a gloryhound. Protecting the guy with the ball is 90% of what they do, but that doesn't mean that the other 10% should be dismissed either. And Stats don't show that Armah has much versatility/contribution when asked to produce. Just the ability to "fall forward" when carrying the ball can get you an extra yard or two. And since I haven't watched him play over the past 5 years, Stats are the only way I can judge how well he does the 10%. For the record, I'm old school enough to want to see a FB on this roster. I would just like him to be a good one at both of his jobs. A man can dream can't he?

Like you, I love the thought of having a FB on the roster. Flashbacks of Mike Sellers give me chills. So I took a look at Armahs career and now I'm not so sure. He's bounced around between teams, active rosters, waived, PS and so forth. He's played in 57 games so far. Has 26 carries for a total of 56 yards (add 9 receptions for 30 yards if you want to call him multi purpose) Career total combined for 4 touchdowns. Wouldn't we get equal production from just handing the ball to Jonathan Allen and preserving a roster spot until a more talented FB becomes available?

I think he's already giving us the Dawand Jones treatment: "Really looking to sign with one of those teams that’s in the top echelon. Playoff contention last year, has a chance to make a step this next year. And I can really come in and add value to that team. “Not really looking for a rebuild where I have to come in and mentor a rookie quarterback. [I’m] looking for that team that’s missing a few pieces, needs some depth on the o-line. I know wherever I go, I’m going to end up starting. Offensive linemen don’t grow on trees.” Source: https://www.profootballrumors.com/2023/08/ol-justin-pugh-cleared-for-drills-expected-to-take-visits

I did, they aren't streaming this game.
