Good post.
Just a guess but I'm thinking Jon Feliciano is the actual backup C and Bates is 3rd string.
I disagree. I think the whole reason they are having Bates work exclusively at C is to avoid that exact situation. Instead of shuffling everyone around mid game, they just slip Bates in. Good way to keep Morse fresh if they are playing in the 4th with a big lead, too.

Bobby Hart is the reason Cody Ford isn't going anywhere. If Williams gets hurt, Ford slides to RT. If Dawkins gets hurt, Williams goes to LT and Ford goes to RT. It isn't ideal but I don't think Brown is ready and Bates isn't the answer at LT or RT.
They are having Bates focus on being the backup C anyway, given Morse's injury history. No more Swiss Army knife.
Also, I feel alone here but I really don't want them to cut Nick McCloud yet. Would like to see him in another game because his coverage looked pretty good and his PI was BS.

Yeah. I'm afraid we have some serious DL talent where conservatism may have us go with a veteran at the final cuts, and they could easily become this year's Wyatt Teller.
There's always a chance for a trade. I honestly don't mind Addison much but I hate that they made it harder to cut Butler. We have literally zero need for him.

I'm confused as to why Bobby Hart is even playing football. Calling him a turnstile is unfair to turnstiles.
- Cody Ford looked pretty good
- Stevenson looks very intriguing as a deep threat/return guy and I'd probably keep him over Kumerow or Hodgins. He and McKenzie have very similar skillsets, though, so I dunno.
- Giles-Harris and Andre Smith both looked good as LB depth and it's a shame we can't roll with them instead of AJ Klein.
- McCloud looked way better than Wildgoose.
- Jake Fromm shouldn't take a roster spot
- Epenesa is going to be a problem for opposing offenses this year.
-Hamlin looked pretty decent outside that one bad missed tackle.

You still try to play real football.
Is it not important to give Stevenson a chance to return kicks any chance he gets? Is saving 5 seconds in a meaningless game really more important than that?

Jake Fromm did not do a good job. What game is Tasker watching?

Stevenson could be a real interesting deep threat

Ok, dude completes one pass and he's superman

Dumbass play by Stevenson. Cost us 5 seconds of clock and 5 yards of field position.
It's the preseason

Looks like Wildgoose is struggling. Too bad. I'll be disappointed if we can't upgrade CB2. Dl looked really good early on. OL has been hot and cold. That's another concern of mine. I hope S Brown is a total stud.
Levi played pretty well today. He's a lot better than people give him credit for.

3 and out coming up

I don't like Bates at tackle. I think he has struggled when he has tried to do it. Just can't overcome his lack of arm length. I think we need a vet pickup there.
I don't like it either but I like it more than Brown.
-
It's actually impressive how bad Fromm is. I don't remember the times the offense was on the field this quarter.

I had him down as backup C/ G and Brown as the backup tackle.
I don't think Brown will play this year. Ford can play in a pinch, so can Bates. If they need a guy for an extended period, they'll grab someone else. I have high hopes for Brown but he clearly needs a LOT of seasoning.

At what point did Bobby Hart factor into the 'tackle depth' that was going to be on the roster at the start of the season?
I believe that Ryan Bates is first option to backup tackle.

I agree. It is. They barely brushed helmets but the refs have been told to have zero tolerance on that. It was on PFT this week.
Isn't the penalty for lowering your helmet to intentionally initiate contact? The helmet contact looked completely incidental. I understand why the penalty is necessary but damn, there are going to be so many flags flying this year.

He lowered his head, hit the player and then drove him into the QB.
Super ticky tack, but he did lower his head to initiate contact.
Lowering your head doesn't mean using it to initiate contact. He initiated contact with his arms.

NFL have made it a point of emphasis for officials. Any initiating contact by lowering the helmet is gonna be called.
Yeah but he didn't do that, so...

what was the flag for?
Lowering the helmet to initiate contact.
I can only assume this was referring to the Lions player who hit his own guy and Griffin somehow made him do it.

Remember everyone......it's also pre-season for these horrible officials.
Yeah the problem is that the bad ones don't get cut

Fromm is trash. Waste of a pick.
He's not going to be on this team by week 1. Rather see them give Mitch a chance to throw.
