Hardyfalcon Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 I can't believe Starr made it, he had little production. I hope we pick up Michael Sam to replace him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EightyEight Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 (edited) How do you cut Gunn before Konz? Konz is the only game ready (technically) backup center I guess. Edited August 30, 2014 by EightyEight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romfal Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Since Robertson and Rumph are both gone, do we have a backup nose tackle for Soliai? Do we plug Corey Peters in there if all else fails?maybe we make a move for Vickerson, but right now its only CP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlrfalcon Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Konz had value in that he could play guard and center but then why would we then keep Stone?3 Centers?1 for each QB? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FenixFalcon Posted August 30, 2014 Author Share Posted August 30, 2014 (edited) Maybe the biggest WTF in all of this is Courtney Roby over Bernard Reedy. I'm just going to concede that I don't know as much as they do.Reedy to PS for safe keeping. We all knew they were keeping him under wraps for a reason.
