I think one in the last game that probably sealed his fate. Roberts is a proven returner. Well then so was Weems. Both have as many career KR tds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falconidae Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 So far, people are complaining about the 3rd string TE, the 4th RB, the 9th DE, the 9th Olineman making or not making the team. Think everyone should take a deep breath and remember what the team was like 3 years ago: Starters: Sjax RB, Stone C, Bierman DE, Goodman DE, Solia DT, Bartu LB, Worrilow LB Roster: Arenas, Sam Baker, Carimi, Drew Davis, Gunn, Hawley, Holmes, TJax, Massiquoi, Konz, Magonga, Martino, Moore, Bear Pascoe, Peters, Shembo,Antone Smith, Umenyiora, ,Josh Wilson Yates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
middlegatv Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Sorta wish there was a Special Teams depth chart (besides just punter and kicker) so maybe we could see why they kept one player over another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see anything from him other than turning the ball over. Argued in a different post wouldnt mind Hall and Davis being 5th and 6th because of ceiling. Roberts hasnt been much beside already being paid and Williams is at his ceiling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerz Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Roberts is a journeyman receiver..he's pretty expendable in my opinion for some young talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was Weems really that bad? I mean I know he made some questionable fair catches but thats really with every return man in the league as it's really tricky to gauge if you should return it or not with players running full speed right at you. I'm just glad he had sure hands and never fumbled the ball. He's not the fastest but he did have some decent returns. The return game is dam near dead imo and punts your really lucky to get 1 or 2 TD's from those in a season. I can't really say Roberts is that much of a returner to garner a spot on the roster over someone like Gabe or someone with more speed. Just my opinion tho.

Just my opinion tho. how many 99-95 yard drives did our offense have to make because he let the ball go at the 15 only to be downed inside the 5 or fair catch it on the 5. he was REALLY inconsistent last year.

It was like 3 and with this offense you can afford to do that. But that literally happens all over the league bro and I promise it will happen again.

Weems sucked so bad last season that ironically we set team total yardage records because of all the long drives due to his horrible punt returning.

ST is clearly important to this team. we'll see i guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1989Fan Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 People get way too bent over guys who will be inactive on game days or just ST guys. Doubt many (if any) of our cuts get claimed off waivers. If Quinn wants them they will land on PS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so that was early in the season and we can spare a guy one bad game right? He cleaned it up for most of the season until I think one other game I can't specifically remember.
