If we take as fact that the team anticipated Greg Warren's failed physical. Why do we assume they did not with Green?
That guy they just picked up yesterday seems to compare favorably to in size, speed, and production to Sheehan, who went in the third round. Kittle can block like a tackle, but if you don't light the Big 10 on fire catching the ball, you aren't going to suddenly get better at in the NFL. I mean James is a Big 10 TE with better production as a receiver than Kittle and we are talking about replacing him. See where that logic breaks down? Kittle is basically Matt Spaeth 2.0. Meh. I've seen that movie before and it was underwhelming and kinda boring.
Super Roku Box, Engram, and Everett are all cover you eyes bad at blocking. So they have to be evaluated as super sized WR's because that is what they would be doing. If that is the case, may I introduce you to Jujubee and the Canaanite. Both are big bodied targets that are actual WRs.
Does it suck that Green's brains are so scrambled that they had to cut him? Absolutely. Is anyone currently on the roster a downgrade at this point? Yup.
Is this some sort of disaster that doesn't seem to have a plan? Not sure I can go that far. If no one "gameplanned" out what the team would do if they had to cut Green -- then everyone not named "Rooney" needs a new job.
