Ralonzo Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 7 hours ago, MJS said: Yeah, let's base all our roster decisions on preseason snaps... I'm confused. Is this ironic, or sarcastic? The entire point of preseason is to select your 53 for the coaches, and to put reps to film for players. How else would you select players for the roster, have them throw their hockey sticks into a pile and toss half to the left and half to the right?

The preseason games (what you and I see) are a small fraction of what the coaches see and use to evaluate players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not exclusive, but practice is practice. Games are games. Most classes I took gave more weight to tests than drills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only saw ATL last week, looked like they were trying to get Pitts involved but Ridder just refused to sling it. Having similar issue with Goedart in Philly. I'm lucky to be 2-2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ended up picking up LaPorta on the waiver wire and that's helped a little. But no sure bets at TE these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had Kittle last year , he had an awful start but did great down the stretch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, just ask the Cleveland Browns. They chose DTR over Joshua Dobbs because DTR looked better in the preseason. 🤷 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 (edited) Ankou should ask for his release. The Bills would put him on the active roster and actually start him, and the Falcons are going nowhere. Edited October 9, 2023 by Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
