Kayoh Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 I thought these guys would have spots on the team for sure, quite surprised to see them get cut already. Guess our swing tackle is Burton? O.o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raysnill1 Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 they're rookies so they will most likely be placed on the practice squad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falconidae Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Doubt the swing tackle is currently on the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alphaville Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 I hope they are not counting on Polumbus to be the swing tackle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alphaville Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Maybe White ultimately just doesn't measure up to the size DQ wants. He was overmatched by Marshall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lornoth Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 I figured White was PS bound, a little surprised Jake didn't make it but meh, he'll be PS too probably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MACK4ttACK Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 can't be surprised at any rookie OLine cuts nowadays after reading that pete prisco article or someone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Shotfather Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Why have 3 people in this thread mentioned "swing tackle" while I've never heard that phrase in my 20+ years of watching football? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lornoth Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Why have 3 people in this thread mentioned "swing tackle" while I've never heard that phrase in my 20+ years of watching football?It's a pretty common term nowadays. It refers to the OT (Usually the #3 OT) that can play both right and left tackle if need be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtybird#11 Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Yeah I was shocked, but we better sign a better OT cause if Matthews or Schrader go down I don't trust Polumbus or Burton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kayoh Posted September 5, 2015 Author Share Posted September 5, 2015 Why have 3 people in this thread mentioned "swing tackle" while I've never heard that phrase in my 20+ years of watching football? "swing tackle" is also commonly referred to as the "third tackle". Most teams only dress 7-8 olinemen, so it's become the norm for the 5 starters, plus one tackle that can play both sides (swing tackle) and a do-it-all interior OL to dress for games.

FentayeJones Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Im not shocked by either. As a matters of fact I expected both to be on the practice squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romfal Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 I thought these guys would have spots on the team for sure, quite surprised to see them get cut already. Guess our swing tackle is Burton? O.oPolumbus and probably thats it for now. I'm guessing Burton to PS. Don't think we carry more than 9 linemen and we have Chester Person, Levitre Stone, Asamoah, Hawley on the inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romfal Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 unless we have a surprise cut on the inside and either Burton or a cut from somewhere else stays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delaigle Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Why have 3 people in this thread mentioned "swing tackle" while I've never heard that phrase in my 20+ years of watching football?I no guru here BUT think Svetik he was the swing tackle once ---It's usually the #3 tackle on the depth chartssome times the roster has a tackle that can play both LT and RT Ojinnaka Svitek {Matthews}ie Matthews started at RT but moved to LT when Baker got hurtFalcons haven't really had a good swing tackle (#3) since Svitek---- well Holmes was suposed to be it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHEC Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 We need a minor league system so we can stash these guys without fears of them being plucked away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheldon Cooper Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 I was surprised by Rodgers. I thought he had shown the most promise. I thought Burton had flashed a time or two but I thought he would push Polumbus, not Rodgers.White I liked but he was never a prototype. I was not surprised by the coaches decision on that one because we all knew he was not technically a fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
