slats Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 A lot of people thought Posey was a lock because he was Maccagnan's guy, but he didn't earn a spot. They probably cut him this early as a favor to him so he can try to catch on somewhere else. With Graham and Haakim gone, I wonder if Powell has locked up the WR/special teamer role.

I know I was one of those people, this is actually not a bad sign though in my opinion because it shows that Macc cares more about winning and having the best team possible than he does about making players who he has some form of connection with happy.

I would keep them both to avoid ever having decker or cro back there marshall, decker, kerley, smith, powell, owusu enunwa may sneak in there with his size, evans has shown nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's Enunwa and Powell rounding out the six. Never thought they'd keep seven, and that's even harder now that they'll likely carry four QBs.

If Enunwa is ahead of him as a WR, and Powell has won the punt returner job, they could easily look to shop Kerley. He's pretty expensive for someone who'll be the #5 WR when Devon Smith returns.

I cant see Kerley dropping down to #5, I can see Enunwa dropping way down though...2 receptions so far in the preseason for a whopping 16 yards. They didn't seem to like Couples much when Bowels first got here but now Bowles is defending his bad plays (Atlanta Falcons Game) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankiepapa Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Trading Kerley makes no sense at this point. No way do i want him traded however i don't get the feeling he is a lock to make this team as i felt he was back in march. My only hope is if they move on from kerley at least they get something for him but I'd much rather see him at #3 wr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obrien2Toon Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 This is the most talent we have cut in years, and it's only first cuts. Credit to Mac's roster building skills. Now with Posey gone, it's Mauldin and Harrison vs Eli Harold or duke Johnson. Interesting to see how that turns out over the years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoot-Face Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Going into training camp I had thought that Graham would've gotten the last WR spot due to his familiarity with the offense, but he had shown nothing throughout preseason to warrant keeping him. While I thought Hakim's speed was an asset on special teams as a gunner and kick returner, I didn't think he'd stick just for that alone. I thought he'd have to show consistent contribution on the offense, and, outside of that one long bomb from Petty, he showed nothing. Not surprised. It seemed that Dalton was the initial backup center, but I believe that they started giving Wesley Johnson more reps. I guess they like him better. It's also nice to see that Posey didn't make the squad based solely on one TD catch in preseason, or his history with Mac. Enough of that, "Boyitella, you shoulda seen that one block he made.." nonsense. None of the other cuts are surprises. Meaningful football is getting closer, you can just feel it!

Dcat Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Surprised by this cut. Dalton Freeman (C/6-5/291/Clemson/Pelion, SC) Me too. We have no viable backup for the overweight, out of shape and slow Mangold. Just think about how damned good Mangold could actually be if he kept himself in somewhat better shape.

If Enunwa is ahead of him as a WR, and Powell has won the punt returner job, they could easily look to shop Kerley. He's pretty expensive for someone who'll be the #5 WR when Devon Smith returns. It does seem that they are phasing Kerley out of the offense, but I don't think they'll get rid of him just yet--not at least unti Devin comes back and starts to regularly contribute. Because, outside of Marshal and Decker, Kerley is the only guy that we know we can rely on. Everyone else--while they may have more upside than Kerley--is unproven. I think Enunwa's blocking ability is just as big a part of him getting the nod as his potential to be a threat down the field. Marshall (proven, if not aged) Decker (proven) Devin (very high upside and potential, yet injured and a rook) Enunwa (tall, fast, good blocker, yet hasn't shown consistency in the passing game) Owusu (rose high on the depth chart in training camp, but has a concussion history) Walt Powell (if he makes the squad, it'll be based on his special teams play more than his offensive production) So that leaves Kerley who, while unspectacular, was our best and most reliable receiver for a few years before Decker. I don't think you get rid of him yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoot-Face Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Kerley has a concussion. Oof. sh*t. Well, that changes everything. So that leaves four healthy WRs going into the season: Marshall, Decker, Enunwa, Walt. Maybe they keep a seventh WR for now until we start getting healthier? Who would it be, though? It would have to be Evans, right? I guess that's why Enunwa has been getting a lot of reps lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just think about how damned good Mangold could actually be if he kept himself in somewhat better shape. Not very easy for a 300+ lb man to look in shape without freak genetics or PEDs. He plays every single snap at that weight, trust me, the dude is in shape. Maybe not cover-of-Men's-Health shape, but he's in shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't even realize it until I read Lange report it I now remember seeing Owusu play last night, so apparently he's okay. They probably don't need a seventh WR after all. But I'm still worried he could get another concussion, especially if they end up using him on special teams. I hope Kerley comes back okay. I still think he's valuable to the offense.
