cba fan Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 (edited) Yes. A high second rounder getting cut in year 4 after maxing out as a backup is a bust. He played well filling in for Glenn at LT last yr. Even with the chronic knee condition likely shortening his career, they should have kept him. If new staff is cutting guys just because they did not draft or sign them then they have about 38 more to cut before opening day. Even more considering Whaley was responsible for most of the new guys. Edited June 16, 2017 by cba fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are cutting guys who don't fit the scheme, have contracts that outweigh production, or are fringe guys who aren't available to practice. Castillo's blocking scheme needs OTs who can move.

The Frankish Reich Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 (edited) End of the Josh Woodrum era. And I was so impressed with the strides he'd made with his footwork. EDIT: wait a minute ... who the hell was Josh Woodrum? Is Kouandjio really a bust? He was playing pretty well in a backup role last season. He is still very young and has some ability. I recall a thread of about 30 pages entitled "is Kouandjio a bust." I think someone should find it and finish it off with a definitive yes. Was it the crappy on field performance or the splendid pants-less performance? Either way ... yet another Whaley bust.

I also recall many threads last season calling for Kouandjio to supplant Glenn as the starting LT and to move Glenn to RT. So that doesn't really sound like people who thought he was a bust. But I get it, now that he's not a Bill anymore it's time to crap on him. I do find it strange though that everyone who leaves sucked in the fans eyes and everyone who arrives is a great add... yet the team doesn't seem to improve from season to season.

billsfan89 Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Kujo was a bust as a right tackle but when he had to fill in at left tackle he was actually pretty competent. I was surprised they wouldn't have tried to kick the tires on him during training camp, he could position himself into a backup role.. But I guess a behavioral slip up and a decent amount of depth at tackle (Mills returns, Dawkins was a high draft pick, and Sentral Henderson could be an intriguing option, they also added Vlad Ducasse who could swing out to tackle. I think had maybe Cyrus been decent at RT he might have gotten the starting job designed for him when he was drafted or he might have had at least as shot to be a swing tackle off the bench. But he was just too bad at RT and not outstanding enough in limited play at LT. Not a huge loss but an interesting cut as I could see him having some success in Detroit.
