Griff28 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 The guy has a history with McBeane. Played well in the pre-season. Was on the practice squad for the first four games. Was elevated to the active roster, STARTED and played well in a game five win. Was then cut to make room for a third quarterback and replaced on the practice squad by a TE (Towbridge) who has no real chance of being an active roster guy any time soon. Granted not a huge deal with a back up safety but it all seems very odd... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griff28 Posted October 11, 2018 Author Share Posted October 11, 2018 So the logical move is that he comes back to the practice squad. Instead replaced by a guy they cut 6 weeks ago? Makes no sense. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrEpsYtown Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 I feel like he will make it back to the practice squad eventually. I feel like he played well. Perhaps he didn't play as well as we think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob in STL Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 I think he will be back on PS if he is eligible. Need to get Anderson up to speed as the #2 which might take a few weeks. Then we can cut Peterman and bring a more useful player on the 53. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griff28 Posted October 11, 2018 Author Share Posted October 11, 2018 I get the Anderson up to speed thing and perhaps Marlowe didn't play as well as I/we believe he did (Good point MrEpsYtown) but it still seems odd to bring Towbridge back, instead of Marlowe, at this point when Towbridge wasn't even part of the original PS group after the final cuts were made. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a special teams ace and when he stops running routes early it's because he's saving himself for the ensuing punt coverage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn’t play well in the preseason. Anyway, glad he was ok last week which is a tribute to the secondary coach, but the two guys ahead of him are back. 1 hour ago, Griff28 said: The guy has a history with McBeane.

Granted not a huge deal with a back up safety but it all seems very odd... He was only elevated to the active roster last week because two guys ahead of him on the depth chart were injured and inactive. They are both back practicing so he’s not needed anymore. No real mystery here. What’s odd is how much angst I’ve seen over Dean Marlowe. It’s JWill-Esque. Not quite Brandon Reilly level but a 7 on the scrub-love scale.

C.Biscuit97 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Yeah, he definitely played well. I don’t fully trust McBeane but I definitely don’t question them with the secondary. This is SM’s area of expertise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 I wonder how many players have ever done the complete "NFL around the world" in less than a week?
