I still don't get what they are going to have them do that most NFL teams have not already seen at pro days, preseason, regular season, etc ....

 

I mean its not a bad idea, but you need someway for the players to showcase something that most of the teams haven't already seen .... maybe a scrimmage or something like the senior bowl for veterans ... ????

Best case scenario for any of these guys is that 1 or 2 make a roster as a backup. I don't see any of these players breaking out at this point. With that said, a few years ago when he was a FA I was hoping we'd sign Felix Jones. I always thought he'd be a good back.

What is Felix Jones going to show everyone they don't already know, I mean he has plenty of NFL tape ... I just don't see how you showcase someone like that.  If they really wanted to give these guys a shot they would expand rosters and/or practice squads.  Maybe give each team veteran only practice squad in addition to the current one ... lol

I meant a couple years ago about Jones. Back when I thought he could still be productive and turn his career around. Its too late now. Maybe as a 3rd stringer.

Yeah I understood, I was using him more as an example of players like him in general and what they can show that most teams haven't already seen.

      Should Ballard trade pittman

      POLL: fire ballard?

      By ShuteAt168 · Posted

      Yes, thanks, you’re right. When the Panthers traded to get the 1 is when Ballard said he didn’t have all the information to make the trade. That’s strange to me.  “Didn’t want to make a blind decision without all the information,” Ballard told reporters Monday. “I know for people, they might not understand that. But I think history kind of tells you that when you do that, you better know what you’re getting. And we weren’t quite ready to do that at that time. And then we feel like there’s enough depth in the draft that we were gonna be okay.”   This was in late March. Ballard had a chance to get the 1 and use it to take Stroud not Young. I think it’s strange he said he didn’t move up to 1 because it would have been a “blind decision.” Why would it be a blind decision in March? Why wouldn’t you know what you’re getting? You’re getting whoever you want if you get the 1. It didn’t happen, but Ballard could have recognized that Stroud was going to be superior, could have made the trade and could have drafted him. Ballard admits it never occurred to him to attempt the trade because it would be a “blind decision.”

      Buckner thought to have an ankle sprain

      By Dark Superman · Posted

      I cringed after seeing the way his leg bent underneath him to the point of him sitting down on it. Buckner is one tough dude and to see him needing help to get off the field is when I knew he was going to be out for a while.

      Latu hurt ?!

      By Dark Superman · Posted

      He probably felt confident Bowers would still be on the board at 15 once he made it past NYJ at 11.  He could've been trading up with other teams to move up to get Brock Bowers, but unfortunately, the Raiders had their eyes set on him and took him at 13.
