This board was in an uproar last year when Harty was not on the 53. He showed promise last preseason as a coverage corner with instincts and was in the building for a year. Not sure what went wrong.
This is more about the Carter pick, which will go down as one of Beane’s worst. Completely mystifying how you can draft an undersized DT in a premium round given what the needs of the team are.
Would be better for the fans if they brought back the weekly cutdown requirements like the good old days. Preseason has become unbearable with nothing real to talk about from late July to early September.
wondered this myself…part of the calculus nowadays is that with the league revenue being so high you can just pre-schedule to rip up the turf and re-sod from scratch 2-3 times a year. A complete premium grass re-sod can be done for $200-$300k - about half the cost of league minimum veteran.
