Did you ask him for Super Bowl tickets? 6 minutes ago, foreboding said: Makes sense they need the extra spot to keep a wr. It makes sense because they will spend a lot of time in big nickel.

TroutDog Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 They have to be forward thinking here knowing that this is Zo’s last year. Somebody else has to stick or be labeled as another position to protect the continuity, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I think they need to keep Joseph over one of Lacy/Stanford/Alexander who definitely aren't the Zo replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beane hates cutting draft picks. He did last year with Austin Prohel but he was a late 7th pick. I don’t see Joseph going anywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That has been Lacey's role. You don't need both of them. Stanford is the MLB backup, Thompson has been OLB Salary info per Over the Cap FWIW - Maurice Alexander: 850k base, 1M cap number: If released 150k dead cap, 850k cap savings Julian Stanford: 1.25M base, 1.525M cap number: If released 175k dead cap, 1.35M cap savings Vosean Joseph: 495k base, 576k cap number: If released 81k dead cap, 495k cap savings Deon Lacey: 645k base, 645k cap number: If released 0k dead cap, 645k cap savings The true crime in all of this is that Julian Stanford will make twice as much as Matt Milano this year. Matt Milano: 645k base, 710k cap Mo Alexander will be a Jet week 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmart128 Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 What I think should happen SLB: Lorenzo Alexander / Deon Lacy MLB: Tremaine Edmunds / Vosean Joseph WLB: Matt Milano / Maurice Alexander I'd like to keep Stanford but there is no way if risk losing Joseph... Joseph could potentially be our Lorenzo replacement once Zo retires. I don't see Stanford as anything but a back up. The last spot should come down to him a Lacy. Both have played well Lacy had been awesome With this being said. I think McDermott is going to keep Lacy and Stanford. And Maurice will probably be cut.

ComradeKayAdams Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Did we get any clarity on this subject after last night? We're discussing 5 LB's for 3 spots: Joseph, Stanford, Thompson, M. Alexander, and Lacey. Who among these players can back up at MLB besides Stanford? Do Stanford and Thompson also play special teams? I think you also have to guarantee Joseph a roster spot because there's no way he's passing waivers on the way to the practice squad. So we're really down to 4 guys competing for 2 spots.

GreggTX Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 I'd like to see them add room for a 4th RB and a 4th TE. Why 6 LB's when we spend 70% of snaps in a nickel with only 2 LB's on the field? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mo Alexander I think has a leg up because he plays teams. So then it comes down to Lacey, Stanford and Joseph for one spot. Agree and I am guessing Stanford is the odd man out.

I think you are too heavy in an offhand comment id guess he’s used to 6 and said 6. If they are sitting at the table debating guy 53 and there’s value at lb compared to guard they’d still keep 7 lbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
