kingdaddy Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 So the Ravens cut the TE who scored two impressive TD's against us and it has me thinking about which TE we could cut in order to pick this kid, or another free agent TE up? I keep coming back to Logan Thomas as the odd man out due to his injury history and his age in addition to his cap number. What do we really expect to get out of LT this season that's over and above what the others can provide as a group? Is it worth keeping him around at the expense of playing time for the younger guys and a roster spot for a younger prospect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey's actually been a really good PK for us *knocks on wood*. He's pretty accurate and has a big leg, sure he has some flubs (what place kicker doesn't?) but he's far better than what we've had at PK in the last 10 years.

Its the kickers that "bend em like Beckham" that get me. Looks like its going wide and then gradually eases just inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can run and great size, but he hasn't shown much in practice or the preseason games. I think Logan Thomas is the best TE on the roster. The beat reporters seem to think he is quite a bit ahead of the other TE's in terms of receiving. If you think he will play most of the year I would definitely keep him. That said I think this is likely his last year on this team unless he takes a veterans minimum contract or something like that next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Bram who is the most optimistic about this team among the beat guys said LB wasn't a concern for him before camp but it is a concern of his now. If backer wasn’t a concern for him pre camp he wasn’t paying attention! I recall he said that it wasn’t a concern though more because he felt that we would not have many linebackers on the field most of the time with hybrids like Curl playing what would normally be a backer spot. That’s something we have talked about off an on and is part of why we only kept 4 backers. Davis has a court date this week - he availability might be in question for at least some games based on the outcome of that hearing. 3 minutes ago, philibusters said: Hodges to me would be the obvious cut candidate.

I highly doubt he’d get claimed and he’s not earned a spot on the 53 IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that's why they said FB/OL would be brought back later this week because they'll put Jamin on some "non football illness" suspension?

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.

KDawg Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 When guys who cover this team are unconcerned with LB it really makes me wonder how much they know or how much we don’t. In this case it is the writer who doesn’t seem to be aware and not us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyvern Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Just curious.... Who thinks Washington will actually trade for or select another team's waived/released player to add to the Commanders roster? Versus who thinks Washington will decide to "stand pat" and not pursue any other team's players and just focus on getting their own players on the practice squad --and not bring in anybody new that hadn't been with them in preseason? I tend to think Rivera and Co. will not be very active during this waiver-wire period, and just work with the folks they had in TC and preseason.

It looks like the new owners want to see what they have and ride this season out for better or wose. I think the big changes are in the off season 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, although I could see maybe one addition but I wouldn't bank on it especially if most of our guys are healthy. Ron is a draft and groom head coach, it's just his style to want all his guys so to speak and get them all playing the way he wants them to versus plugging gaps with more talent. Is it the right approach? So far less than spectacular results but this approach requires a ton of patience. I still think Ron is better than the sum of his parts so far and a lot of the criticism is way over the top but I've been wrong plenty of times before.
