Rob's House Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 If you start Graham and turn off injuries you don't need Mckelvin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harv shitz Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 ha ha he has never been overated. ever. Watch the tape from the Bears game last year, and see how he played chase the whole game. Watch the tape of him getting lit up by Brady in the home game last year, for a couple examples. He is overrated. Very overrated. Graham is much better than he is, and I believe the new staff will see just that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuntheDamnBall Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Chris Williams only if we get some other people who can play guard. Â Otherwise I don't really see the incentive in cutting him before camp cuts. Â Â If you start Graham and turn off injuries you don't need Mckelvin. Nicely done.

Graham is much better than he is, and I believe the new staff will see just that. With Searcy gone watch Graham play more safety. and Corey is not so much a boundary corner. Leodis has been a whipping dog here for years. I really liked him once Henderson got a hold of him. Yes, McKelvin has never been overrated. What he has generally been in not very good. For the longest time , i was afraid to watch him ! Under Pettine he improved alot. finally turned for the ball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drreef2 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Cassel - still a reasonable cut but only after training camp if he does not pan out as starter or even dependable backup. He is a low cost tryout and will not cost anything if cut (other than workout/training camp pay). Â McKelvin - he played his best when Pettine coached him. He has a chance to succeed in this system. But if they draft a corner in second or third round, he is likely gone at his price. His value to the team dropped the second Harvin signed on because it diminished his special teams importance. If Harvin is main punt returner, McKelvin would have to be a better corner option than Graham. Earlier in the year Graham was better but McKelvin played better for a few games before he was hurt. Tough call on this one but could see it going either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just laugh when people say , it could go either way....announcers say that when a turnover is being reviewed...."it could go either way" Obviously it has to....just funny to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harv shitz Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 How many times has McKelvin had a chance to make a play, but the pass is completed as the ball whizzes right by his earhole, as he is in his customary position of playing chase. Â I really hope he goes, we can do much better at that corner position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I really hope he goes, we can do much better at that corner position. Â I don't remember that happening so much the past two seasons. Â And again, CB depth is HUGE.

JAC'dUp Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Thigpen at 660K should be on the bubble with the addition of Harvin, if Rex can get him returning kicks. KO specialist also doesn't seem to fit w/ Rex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harv shitz Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 When McKelvin gets cut, it exemplifies that we're making real progress. I agree. Just last night on the Channel 2 news, they showed a highlight of McLovin getting lit up by Brady in the home game last year. In my opinion, he simply gets beat too often, usually at a critical point. Â He gets some picks, but more often than not he is in the right place at right time, not because he made a great play on the ball. Â I just want to be better, and I think we can improve there.

Rockinon Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Have you watched the last couple of years? He has been very good. Graham is good by got beat a lot later in the season So you could see McKelvin staying or getting released? Brilliant If not for injury, probowl good. Funny how people get something in their head and then just can't change their mind. The secondary this past year was playing at a very high level and McKelvin was very much a part of that. The whole can't track the ball crap floated around here was squashed when he was leading the team with 4 interceptions just before he got injured. But his struggles his 1st couple yrs is all anyone can remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
