Thanks!  Didn't really think it needed deep analysis - just watch the tape and check out his results vs Fat Rob Kelley.

Injury prone?  Check.

No vision?  Check.

Limited short area quickness?  Check.

Etc etc etc

What does he do well?   I'm struggling to find his strengths.

Two preseasons ago, the staff raged about his balance, his hands out of the backfield, and how well he moved for such a big guy.  I'd suspect the truth is somewhere in between.  I can't see him being worse than Blount. He looks like there's concrete in his shoes.

Fair enough.  I'm not a Blount fan either.

 
Blount is also a vet that is coming from a Super Bowl team. He may not feel like he has to prove anything so he's pacing himself. Wouldn't be the first time a vet coasted through preseason just preserving themselves.

Those are my favorite. I love when people just say a guy is good or sucks but have nothing else to offer on the topic. I feel it's a general copout since they can't explain/analyze the actual player.

Whatever.  I expanded on the comment after that, and literally nobody disagreed.  So go back and read further.  If you disagree with my take, say so.  Otherwise, your comment is just hypocrisy, in that you've added nothing of value with your comment above and are just as guilty of doing the exact same thing you accused me of.

I was speaking in general. Most people use well so and so sucks. However you didn't ad anything to your comment until after the fact you were called out on it. I'm not looking for a fight here just stating that many people use that as a go to and don't expand.

Sad about Zuba but realistically didn't have much of a shot.

McGolin out leaves us with just Carson and Foles (who hasn't been healthy).  Wonder if we are planning on bringing another qb in?  Kevin Kolb while we're at it? :P

 
I think cutting all QBs but Carson and Foles means the coaching staff and front office feel perfectly fine with Foles' injury. It's more our problem since we don't know the details and he hasn't played. That makes fans nervous. But ultimately, what can we do. If they are confident enough to role with only 2 QBs then they think he's fine.

 
Why do fans get so enamored with preseason guys like Scott, McMullen, Bailey, Turner and now Clement. None of these guys ever do anything but we continue to act like losing them every year is a terrible thing. Clement is playing guys who wont smell an NFL roster after these cuts and there is a very very high chance he never does anything in the NFL so please stop with the I rather have Clement then Blount. This is preseason dont read to much into it.

Well that's like your opinion man

 
i think mcgloin just blows so might as well use the roster spot on someone else who might help for now.  and if it really comes to needing someone else, anyone off the street would be just as good as mcgloing.  Pat Ryan is probably building a house somewhere and in good shape.

Josh Huff cut by Bucs...
