Boettger is coming off a torn achilles, I honestly doubt he'll play again. Very few linemen have played again after that injury, and the ones that did were shadows of their old self. With Ford gone & Mancz possibly out long term, I suspect we'll be looking at cuts for a replacement OG. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rc2catch Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 There goes one of the whipping boys. Wish him the best in the desert. Running out of players to hate for some of y’all. So who is left on the message board hate list? Edmunds still in the lead, by a lot OJ Howard I see is somehow on the list without seeing a regular season snap yet. Moss gaining some steam Taiwan and Kumerow for sure if they make the team Elam reserving a spot for later in the season? Epenesa is a trendy name 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wiz Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 So they still need to make 1 more cut right? Assuming this trade takes them down to 81 players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall, this was a loss. But that's how it goes sometimes in the NFL. They can't all be success stories. You’re not looking at this the right way. Yes, he was a 2nd round pick and we figured out that he’s not good enough to start pretty quickly. It was a miss and every GM misses. Every GM doesn’t, however, get value back for their missed picks. Usually, you just have to cut guys when you miss. That makes this a win. 1 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the "Beane is a wizard" angle is a bit much in this particular case since he traded up in the second to get him. Correct; let’s save “wizard” for cases like me - divorcing my wife that was 8 years older than me and marrying my current wife who is 8 years younger. 3 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has apparently looked pretty good at that spot this offseason. Having a guy who can at least be serviceable at guard and tackle is highly valuable and may mean that we can keep an extra D-lineman active.

Epenesa is a trendy name In fairness, he was drafted in the second round (after moving up two spots) with hopes of becoming a tackle. He ended up being a below-average guard. I don't think this was from any kind of a lack in effort. The kid was simply over-drafted. It happens. Beane is still a phenomenal GM. But he whiffed on Ford. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh. Based on Dawkins' comments on Saturday I think some of it may well be down to lack of effort and professionalism from Cody. Though no doubt it wasn't a good pick. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
