Elite Poster Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Honestly want him to sign so we can get that playbook for week 1 (page right out of the Pats' book). 17 minutes ago, YoloinOhio said: I definitely agree that Foster’s spot is not safe and he’s only there because of his speed, but that he will be replaced if they feel they can find an upgrade and will keep looking to find one. Foster is safe. This front office values familiarity and being boys' with their players - ask Mikey Tolbert. He got a full season with guys like Cadet and Murphy on the roster.

Unfortunately I believe you’re right. There are countless examples. Pat DiMarco contributes ZERO to this team, but he's still around and from the Bills embedded, pretty clear Sean loves him. The endless Panther talent carousel when there are better options - why did we overpay so much for Star, don't really recall there being a huge market for him. Trading for KB when this offseason had so many younger, more talented FA WR that could have been locked up (he's going to be looking for similar money this offseason). And now we have Nathan Peterman, the Pitt alumni, who is getting his 4th chance to prove something on field. I'm not saying he didn't earn the chance to start, but I'm envious of the Jets right now. The Darnold era has begun and I'm afraid they are going to Mike Tolbert this one and give NP the whole year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First, the assertion Pat DiMarco contributes ZERO to the team is flat wrong. He played 25% of the offensive snaps last year, including another 38% of the snaps on ST. Beyond that, the FO brings in guys they know can help build a culture and set an expectation for the young guys. If you dont have a mix of those type of guys, you are essentially returning the team to where it was under Whaley. Those teams had boat loads of talent with no real direction. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting that both the Giants and Bills want to work him out - Beane and Gettleman must have together thought highly of him in his draft process while in Carolina? I am surprised I hadn't seen the Ravens game week angle brought up with BP's work out earlier. Either way the staff can pick his brain on the Week 1 game plan on how Balt's offense is planning on attacking the defense. Only costs them an air plane ticket if it isn't a fit. I am not saying Perriman isn't worth a flier if his work out shows something. Before his injuries he was a 1st Rd pick, has speed to stretch the field (for Allen eventually) and the Raven's have stuck with him for years thus must have seen something. Switching out Foster for him, especially with Foster PS eligible, could be a sly move if Perriman could capitalize on his potential. At least the team is looking at potential upgrades.

And considering that the front office, for good or bad, got rid of all our playmakers outside of Ahoy McCoy! I'm not sure it is fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, I think it highlights what's happening regarding OBD. They want guys who love the process and who are talented enough to make plays, but rarely do those two meet. IMHO they're doing their diligence to see if Perriman can be one of those guys; one who maybe was buried amidst other players but needed some real coaching, direction and a different culture to succeed. Aside from Perriman, I really like Orchard being brought in as well. Hopefully both stay and become an integral part of the team's new direction. Also, on an somewhat unrelated note: why Offensive linemen thus far on the visit schedule? All things considered, I would think that would pique some interest from OBD. Easy folks....I trust the process, I'm just asking.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a really underused weapon. This is with a QB who couldn't find him with a GPS. But to your point, I don't understand the crazy reaction to Perriman. If Ray Ray is hurt enough to go on short-term IR, I would add him. Edited September 4, 2018 by JoeF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Ray Ray is hurt enough to go on short-term IR, I would add him. Hes had some long plays, but I can't remember what the circumstances were. The Perriman plays in the video show some ability to get the contested ball. The first 2 plays on the video wer made on DRC and (at the time) our own Gilmore. Both in excellent spots defensively, and he came down with the ball. Very skeptical that Perriman would have a completely new career here, but thats promising at least, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had to have scouted him well. He was picked one pick after the Panthers took Shaq Thompson. I would figure they would have done a good amount of scouting on all the guys projected near them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't it be nice to have an extra OL or WR? We're constantly at the bottom in offense and the biggest highlight this guy has for us is bouncing a pass off his chest to the other team for 6 points. Good culture! Also, all that the Whaley teams were missing was a coaching staff worth something, which by the way, was a decision Tim and Kim botched. Not Whaley.
