Washington looked good, hopefully this translates to the season
You could be right that only 4 are currently safe. Holton was the name I couldn't remember before but he's definitely in this hunt too. I don't know how important a KO returner is anymore. Seems the NFL has adjusted for negating them mostly. If kicking to a decent returner kick it out the back. If kicking to a not so great returner kick just short of the EZ and force the return. Either way teams usually get pinned on KOs inside their own 25. This thinking puts Eli ahead of Switzer and Spencer in the return game plus Eli is the better WR overall. I see Holton and Jones as guys with better size for 50/50 balls than Switzer and Spencer. Although Switzer and Spencer have more short area quickness to get open faster. Should be a fun race to watch. For the record I see keeping 6 WRs again this season.
Good players at QB, WR, OL, and DL are gonna have to get cut. Keeping all the guys that seem to have NFL level talent at those position groups would leave them too short at other spots.
True, although Dobbs to Washington accounted for 2 REC- 65 Yards, while Rudolph to Washington accounted for 2 REC - 19 yards and 1TD. Washington was one foot down from also catching a TD from Dobbs.
Washington seemed to be productive with either QB that was throwing to him, although one could suggest that if Dobbs leads him on the first reception, that play goes all the way to the end zone.
Honestly, I agree. I was just thinking about what advantages he may have had. I'm hoping he carries it into the season. In fact, I remember when they were talking about Mason R. as a QB in the draft and I jumped on Youtube to check him out. What really stood out to me was this WR who climbed the ladder and reached behind him to catch a pass. Turns out, it was Washington. I was hoping we would draft him and happy we did. Just waiting for it to show up in regular season now.
Locke is on my shit list. He tried to scoop a fumble when falling on it would have ended the game. If we had more reliable safety depth I would have cut him right there for a mental error like that. I don’t care if it’s preseason, there is NO EXCUSE for that shit.
I really hope he got so ripped to shreds for that decision that he never makes another mental error again.
Silly in PHILLY: Call me silly...but the Steelers have some tough cuts at WR, right? u think they go w 5 or 6 wr’s- and who are they?
Ray Fittipaldo: JuJu (lock), Moncrief (lock), Diontae Johnson (lock), Washington (lock), Switzer (near lock)... No. 6 up for grabs if they keep six. Could be Eli Rogers. Could be Johnny Holton. Could be Tevin Jones. Could be Diontae Spencer.
