Lol Yes, but you were also asking how long we'd get reporters' observations. Based on tweets like the one I provided, apparently as recent as today, reporters are allowed at practice, though technically it's not considered TC. 3 minutes ago, volsmet said: Cinci may let go of a LB struggling with coverage assignments... he’d look nice next to Reuben a year from now after being coached up by Rob Ryan.

He sure is not lacking in the speed department, not to mention a few other key attributes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holcomb may be a good player, we have room for both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the preseason, we have the best corps of receivers in the league. In fact we have too many great ones. We're overloaded with so many great receivers, that we have extra ones to unload and trade. Do you want to trade for a WR ? How about a Pro-Bowl LT ? How about both ? Nah we're good. Honestly though our WRs are terrible. We have Davante Adams, Geronimo Allison, Jake Kumerow, and St Brown. You heard of any of those guys besides Adams?

Remember every team doesn't dress six players every single game. And no Penn is not awful old for a tackle these days, there are multiple tackles in the NFL older than him, two of them made the Pro Bowl last year Penn limping around and not playing last week, plus our crack med team and OL injury history, has me skeptical. You seem in the know - favor - try and expand on Geron being nabbed a little bit, as it seems conversations always end with "he will never make it" and no one has conclusive rebuttal since we are not in the minds of 30 GMs. My asking is because it seems we have these discussions every year with someone, and yet they DO make it and most everyone was wrong. So, what WOULD allow him to make it to the practice squad. If he were a 4th rounder, or 5th? Predraft rating of < 5.5, vs his 5.61? 2 major injuries, vs 1; projection to be at best a backup? Obviously a major injury in less than 1 full game played, struggles in his 2nd straight camp, failure to reach projected potential, are all not enough to stifle interest/upside. Sure league wide demand for tackles is in play here, but lets assume demand is static since this is more focused on players attributes. And few teams need a young tackle more than us. Thanks in advance - if it's too complicated to answer so be it but then you get my point about how conversations are stifled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know how much of that is Rodgers being the QB, but he looked like he could play. He's a guy to watch for. I suspect he's gonna have a nice year. The rest, who knows. I think our WRs are more unproven more than terrible. Doctson and Richardson are known quantities of "meh", but the rest simply havent played enough (or at all) to know what they are. I don't know how anyone can determine they're terrible already. Inexperienced and terrible arent synonymous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSSkinz Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 So this reporter for USA Today did a team by team breakdown on "How hot is your coaches seat?" I thought what they wrote about Jay was kind of funny. WASHINGTON REDSKINS, JAY GRUDEN: THE EARTH'S CORE Five years, no playoff wins and a three-year playoff drought. Alex Smith's injury didn't help Gruden's progressive cause when it happened, and that's just bad luck. His only hope is to get Dwayne Haskins into starting shape quickly. Another sub .500 year from Gruden and he's out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandyHolt Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Even when Perine was at his best in his 100 yard games, I saw his runs as FB dives. The play would be over in less than 2 seconds, and he was good for 2.5 yards a pop. He is a true north south runner, which knowing his frame shouldn't surprise anyone. I took a look at his record setting day, and indeed there are very few cuts / dancing behind the LOS. There is a little one at the 4 minute mark, after which I gave up watching. Signs point to him being a traditional fullback without the physicality. I do think he has underrated hands which may be a factor in Jay's Perine love fest. There is truth to a back needing blockers, but dare I think it's never been truer for a back more than SP. His polar opposite is none other than the infamous Barry Sander.

mistertim Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 One of the things that worried me a bit about Perine when we drafted him was how HUGE some of the holes were he was able to run through. If you watch that record setting day above, a ton of his yards came on plays where his OL gave him a hole he could have driven a truck through. I was still hopeful because I liked his size and seeming physicality. But after 2 seasons of watching him I can truly say I've never seen a 240 lb RB go down with so little contact. I don't know if he just doesn't have the balance or what...but he rarely breaks tackles which is wild for a guy with his size and supposed strength. He also has mediocre to poor vision and his lateral agility is sorely lacking. He's basically a guy who will give you yards if you give him a big ass north/south hole to run straight down. Otherwise he's a guy who consistently takes a few steps, misses a small but available hole, runs into a couple guys, and almost immediately goes down. So in the NFL, where you don't often get those kinds of huge north/south holes and have to rely on your vision/cutting/etc....well, he'll be lucky if he's even a JAG.
