Agree, Rasul can’t handle speed but has done OK against big WR types in the past. Also not as good at defending the ball in the air as he should be for his size, but he’s a decent outside reserve and plays a lot of special teams. Sid has really been too consistently injured and failed to play to his physical talent to be worth a spot any longer.
I was at work from noon till 7 and got home and ubered to S Philly a few blocks from the stadiums to the my brothers place and just got home. All I'll say is I'm not surprised he was cut just based on what I had heard. He didn't take his lack of playing time well last year and he was someone who blamed others rather then taking responsibility for himself. They hoped Manuel being there would help this year but from day 1 in camp they knew it wasn't working. I'm more surprised SUL was cut do to the things I said and Ash just mentioned.
should've been out the door by last training camp. I won't brag how I was right just will say I'm glad they decided he was a mistake and cut bait while they still could. He was also a Joe Douglas pick as apparently Joe Loved him in the draft. Udlin and others were not. The minute Schwartz mentioned Jones on the hot seat in Camp I knew he was gone. Didn't read that but I'm assuming it's just a way-too-long version of "I knew and told everyone when we drafted him that we shouldn't have"I was at work from noon till 7 and got home and ubered to S Philly a few blocks from the stadiums to the my brothers place and just got home.

I didn't like the pick of Jones in the first round before the Achillies as when I did see him play I just wasn't impressed enough to try and debate he was a top CB in the NFL. He got smoked by Juju and one other. I think he matched up in another vs JJAW didn't sit pretty either. After the blown achilles I said well if he drops to like the 5th round I'd take a chance. At the 2nd round I just hated the value. My biggest concern was Jones who relied on speed tore his achilles and you usually lose a step or two after the injury That one or two steps he's lost has proven a difference. Along with the lack of coach ability I heard talked about. I'm happy they tried to get something before cutting him but honestly his
Not really It was more or less saying I was never a fan of the player from day 1 was ok with getting him in the 5th but I hated more of the fact do to value he was taken in the 2nd. Also wasn't shocked he was cut after hearing Schwartz mention he was on the hotseat. I kept quite but there was some coach ability issues with Sid and he didn't like the lack of playing time he got last year. He also apparently refused to play Teams. Mentioned how I think his achilles killed him more considering he's a guy who relies on his speed more then anything and I'm glad they cut bait instead of trying to salvage the dude. This isn't I'm right you guys were wrong post just more of an analyst of why it didn't work out in the end.
You don't have like... a sister's teacher's best friend's daughter in law's dog walker that lives in Florida and is going to give you inside info on the Jag's practice squad performances do you?
Nope only thing I know is he was a Joe Douglas guy Sid and he apparently came to camp this year with a pretty poor attitude. He's right where he should be right now on some teams practice squad.
Eagles are trying to shop ALshon. With the new IR rules for this season Quez only has to spend 29 days on IR. If Watkins injury isn't too serious he could return if they end up trading Alshon. Word is they hope Jeffrey can play end of Sept. Lets hope Alshon comes back and lights it up for some trade value and we can get him off this roster sooner then later.
Probably pedigree over performance. Bears traded a 1st, two 3rds, and a 5th just to move up from #3 to #2 and take him over Mahomes and Watson so they probably feel like they need to give him one last chance to justify it. Wouldn't be surprised if they are quick to hand it over to Foles if Mitch looks like the same middling QB.
Heard from a Bears fan the rationale was that Trubisky knows the playbook better and he assumes Foles takes over by week 4. If there was a real training camp/preseason probably would have been Foles' job.
Neither is Doug. But both of them have heavy influence/input with Howie, who is the one technically "in charge" of making the final decision.
Looking at the Defense for the 53-man and the only one that stands out as someone where Schwartz's preference was overruled is Avery. He definitely wasn't a Jones fan, but I could see him wanting to keep Rasul over Avery, but Howie making the final call and going with the guy he traded a draft pick for
plus once they bench Trubisky, its probably hard to go back.jasvic said:
I fully expect him to not come back till week 5, then leave early and report he's getting the surgery after all.
why is that? i didnt actually see the play where he got hurt, but all reports are no tear, so if he was a tackle or on defense i might understand, but as a receiver he's gtg as long as he has his range of motion, no? the excitement of seeing Wentz healthy would be even better to see this kid try and live up to where he was drafted.
That seems like the only logical thinking which is why I believe Fitz is starting over Tua in Mia right nowjasvic said:
totally different situation imo, fitz is viable for a few weeks and has proven it for multiple teams. trub might have Fitz beat on draft stock, but in real NFL pedigree he isn't even in the same zip code. i would say Fitz's situation is more like Tyrod's in LA, two journeymen QB's who can win you some games, but really just keeping the seat warm.
Yeah, if Trub is confirmed a total bust, these guys lose their jobs. Of course that assumes clued-in ownership and I dunno if the Bears have that.
Reports out of practice are that Lane was limited to only individual drills and Jalen Reagor was a full participant (even doing punt returns.)
