JohnnyLV Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 I will never understand the logic of some of these moves, picking up cut UDFAs from other teams to replace players that went through all of training camp and made the initial 53.

NYJpsycho Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 They cut Miles after picking up Martin. Miles played very well in preseason, he deserves to be on the 53 man roster. Wish they would have picked someone else to cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish they would have picked someone else to cut. OK Coach. Look at it this way. Miles now has the chance to be claimed by another team and their 53 man roster. If he isn't he'll most likely end up on Jets or some other teams PS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a player has made it through training camp the coaching staff has a good idea of what that player is in their system, the ones at the bottom end of the initial 53 might be below average players in this specific system and they might want to take a look at someone elses cut UDFA to see if that player could atleast be average? We picked up Marcus Williams last year who the Texans cut (he was a UDFA) and he is actually pretty decent on our team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetlife33 Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 How did guys like Powell Owusu and Miles not make the cut but our 7th rounder Simon did. Preseason games really don't mean anything. I trust Mac to put together the best 53 possible though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LouisvilleSlugger25 Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Really? I thought Miles looked good. Interesting. Miles got beat pretty good a few times in the last preseason game facing inferior talent. Not sure where all the love for Miles comes from. I don't hate him, but I wasn't overly impressed.

Preseason games really don't mean anything. I trust Mac to put together the best 53 possible though. They all play different positions. What does Simon have to do with WRs and safeties? Also, Owusu is back. Miles was dropped for another safety. Getting upset over the 4th safety is kind of silly at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Brown Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 I went to a Seahawks fan page and seems like to me they were pissed when Martin was cut which tells me that Seattle's FO was trying to sneek Martin back onto their own practice squad and he got ... got...... Here is one Seahawk fan's take: "Really, really strange that kept Terrill and Tukafu over Ronald Martin and Ty McGill. Don't agree, but I'm not watching them practice everyday like the coaches"http://www.seahawks.net/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=112860&start=100 Here is another quote from another Seahawk fan: "I like .....Ronald Martin, he arrives at the point of impact in a bad mood. Scheme can be taught, quickness, strength and instinct not so much." Maybe that is why we got him that last comment is telling... Interesting....

I'll help. They don't have a hard on love affair for some of the scrubs fans do. Mother like the guy they picked up more than the guy who was cut. first we all scream loudly what how great it is to have a personnel guy as our GM but we question why he picks a different player over a Idzik guy. Help me with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure it sucks cuz he played his heart out and did well but at the end of the day they are looking for something better, never satisfied. I don't think that you can overstate your point enough. Doesn't everyone recall Idzik in his state of the team address saying that the team had "more than enough talent to win." Is that what we want, a FO and coach that is boarderline delusional in their thinking and evaluation of their own roster? A FO willing to keep marginal CFL players just prove that they are right? Thank God we have moved beyond such a loser mentality. Will Mac get everything right? NO!!!!! But we will know that he is always and constantly looking to upgrade his roster and not his portfolio of "his guys." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
