Can't wait until technical issues affect the CBS broadcast and bars nationwide turn to Nickelodeon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TP_Fan Posted August 3, 2023 Author Share Posted August 3, 2023 Retaining Ben Johnson was such a huge victory this offseason. The continuity that comes with bringing back a QB and OC that were cooking is priceless. Add a legit TE and a playmaker like Gibbs, gonna be fun to watch this offense put up points.

That play in the last game is a great example. What appeared to be a wide receiver screen with Brown laterally the ball to our running back. An amazing play that even surprised the announcers. Drawn up and executed perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.TaterSalad Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Who do you think will be a surprise cut at training camp? I think Julian Okwara potentially ends up getting cut and won't be on the regular season roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyMarsh Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 (edited) Off topic but on ABC right now they're doing Celebrity Family Feud with current players vs. Hall of Famers and CJGJ and ARSB are on the current players team. BTW they've only played a couple games so far and Amon Ra is definitely better at catching footballs than playing Family Feud. lol "Name a food that turns you on when seeing a women eat it" Amon Ra - "chewing gum" "Name something that is hard for a man to admit they aren't good at" Amon Ra - "reading" Edited August 7, 2023 by RandyMarsh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect Jonah Jackson will be the only player left from the 2020 draft on this roster. I’ll throw one surprise out. Josh Reynolds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichiganCardinal Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 I don’t see anything shocking occurring at cuts (granted if I saw them coming they wouldn’t be shocking). Maybe the loser of the Glasgow/Big V competition, but I think they keep them on unless the loser asks for a trade/release. Some familiar names I could see having a less than guaranteed roster spot though are both Okwaras, Iffy, Brock Wright, Levi Onwuzurike, Jerry Jacobs, and Will Harris. I’ll add Kalif Raymond and Josh Reynolds too, though I think they’re helped by JaMo’s suspension. I’m curious if Gibbs gets any reps this preseason at kick/punt return.

Watch the SI interview that Holmes, Campbell and Goff did, complete buy in from those guys and speaking with confidence. It might not work out in the end because nothing is guaranteed but these guys sure do have the right mindset. Now it's time to get some playoff wins, talk time is over.

NYLion Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 (edited) There's zero chance that Jones or Reynolds get cut especially with Jamo out, I say that with full confidence. I'll say Iffy. Some might not be surprised but he was a fairly high pick two years ago with all the traits you'd want in a player but he's lost in a numbers game with a much improved secondary so....him.

Just for a little cold water, remember last week the Athletic coach/GM survey ranked Goff as a Tier 3 QB. 🤷♂️ Edited August 7, 2023 by gehringer_2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
