MartinC Posted August 29, 2023 Author Share Posted August 29, 2023 Haven’t seen anything on Brycen Tremayne yet. It would be a surprise if he makes the 53? I think we have Terry, Dotson, Samuels, Brown, Pringle, Tinsley, Milne and Tremayne still on the roster at receiver right now. Can’t see us keeping more than 7. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, WHAT IS THE FASCINATION WITH MILNE? He's slow on returns and has a terrible case of the alligator arms. Not a fan. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let Tremayne grow with Slingin Sammy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero lost fumbles on 77 opportunities last year. 12th in yards per return, not terrible. But I get it, he looks to be nothing special and they would probably like to replace him if they found someone with more juice that they can trust. @kingdaddy that is awesome how you responded to a post, and then right below responded to your own response. I don't think I've ever seen that done before lol. 3 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDawg Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Milne is boring. Unexciting. Non-game breaking. But he's reliable and available. I don't think his inclusion, should he make it, should be shocking to anyone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CobraCommander Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 There's always one or two guys on the roster people can't wrap they're heads around. In the past it's been Cam Simms and Troy Apke to name a few. Generally, it's someone with Special Teams value. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gives you adequate - but reliable - punt returning and can cover all 3 receiver spots on a game day active roster. He just doesn’t do any of those roles particularly well. He’s a useful back of depth chart utility player. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan T. Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Did Kazmeir Allen play his way off the roster this week? He looked so promising leading into the Bengals game. I thought he would be a lock as a return guy with home run potential, then all of a sudden he developed jello hands. Too bad - but understandable - cutting Patterson. Easy to root for, a great underdog story, and a local guy to boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrJL Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 1 hour ago, method man said: It matters. If Howell or Brissett go down, you don’t want a Garrett Gilbert situation where you bring in a guy who doesn’t know the offense If Fronm gets picked up we're not waiting until one of the others gets hurt to sign someone to the practice squad. We're getting another guy out of the cuts and your concern is only an issue if they go down immediately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He dropped two passes, muffed a punt (which he recovered) and took a fair catch on a punt on his own 5 yard line. He picked the worst possible time to put in a stinker. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bringing someone else in is not impossible at all - and in fact it’s something I have advocated for given when I see as the low ceiling for Fromm - but its not easy for them to pick up the system and get any comfort in the offense at this point of the year compared to a guy who has been here right through the offseason program and played well in preseason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBlueIndian Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Poor guy is just average, yet Milne has already reached Apke, or that other cat who played safety that JJG was obsessed with, status. Could be a lot worse, think Randle El. We shouldve kept that guy from two years ago, can't remember his name either, probably because I haven't given a shirt about this team much over the last 10 years. Good luck to you Dax Maligned, hang on to the rock and run forward ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clskinsfan Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Of all of the cuts I have seen from other teams so far Germain Ifedi interests me the most. He played all three preseseason games for Detroit this year and allowed zero pressures. Dude can play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan T. Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Despite his drop Saturday, Milne has the surest hands - as a returner and as a receiver - of anybody I've seen in a long time. That, and not much else, is what he gives you week to week. He's a safe choice as a return guy. He's unlikely to break one, and unlikely to fumble away one either. It is fun to see a guy like Kazmeir Allen drop a punt, have it roll 15 yards behind him, scramble back and pick it up on the run, then dodge eight defenders as he takes it to the house. For coaches though - not as fun. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players have to clear waivers which is 24 hours. So around midday tomorrow. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
