Guys to Look At (Post-Cuts 2019)

Brian Hoyer

Jachai Polite

Curtis Bolton: Did they IR him!?

Lesean McCoy got cut. Just don't release DeX to pick him up.

We only have 4 OLBs, and one of them is Fackrell. Zedarius is more of a DL guy. Rashaan is a rookie learning to play from a standing position. Just seems thin.

So Jachai Polite. The guy who wasn't ready for the combine. The guy that thought the Packers "bashed him" by.. you know, asking him questions in an interview. The guy who slipped from a 1st round grade to the 3rd round, and then couldn't even make the Jets' roster.

Maybe he doesn't suck / isn't as dumb as a bag of dicks... perhaps he's just misunderstood?

All joking aside, I wouldn't be upset if he's the #53 guy on the roster, maybe you cut one of the 7 corners or something. But I'm not sure what the appeal for this guy is at this point.

Is it just me?

As I scan the waiver wires for players of not that are available, I think it is the weakest pool of players I can recall.

Normally, there are some veteran reasonably reliable pieces that are obviously upgrades/plug-ins to enhance depth. Other than Hoyer, I don't really see anyone who might be of immediate help.

Polite wasn't the only mid-round pick from the 2019 draft to get cut. The Patriots cut their 2nd-, 3rd-, and 4th-round picks from this year!

Good catch. I was reading about it on NJ.com, but it looks like they got a little ahead of themselves.

P.S.: How much work would it take to allow embedding of GIFV files?

In any case your point appears to be that they should add another OLB, my point was: Why Polite? He seems like an idiot.

I suppose on the other hand it was the Jets that cut him. The Jets are not a shining beacon of intelligence. So perhaps all he needs is a place to develop? Again, I wouldn't be upset if they brought him in.

When will we know if the guy clears wavers? If he does, I imagine that would be a sign that teams don't think very highly of him.

I wouldn't push for this guy on the 53. He obviously has some growing up to do. I would be all over trying to get him on the PS so perhaps he can be mentored. The kid has talent, but is obviously not the smartest guy in the world and I do question who he is surrounding himself with as not being prepared for the combine and then bad mouthing a team that interviewed him does not sound like a guy who is taking his football career seriously.

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Meathead "journalists" skip this, concentrating on operational revenue when convenient. They switch when net revenue is more favorable.

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Maybe a low flying drone

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Did Savion Williams run into a goalpost or something?

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : also, no bueno when a guy starts getting concussions right off the bat in his career

Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Concussion is worse. Banks probably vet off day via back booboo claim

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : @AndyHermanNFL Jordy Nelson out at camp today. No word if he’s in play for one of the two open roster spots ; )

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Is that better or worse than Banks bad back?

Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Savion concussion ... not good.

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Hope it's not serious. that would stink

dfosterf (24-Jul) : Sounds like an ankle not a knee for Fields

dfosterf (24-Jul) : Ya Flaccp on Browns

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Maybe Tyrod Taylor instead

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : He's on Browns, right?

dfosterf (24-Jul) : They would probably go with Flacco is my guess if Fields out

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Happy to see site feels more snappy snappy

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : No sir. I did not.

dfosterf (23-Jul) : You didn't get free childcare when you were at work?

wpr (23-Jul) : These guys make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. Pay for their own childcare.

dfosterf (23-Jul) : 2nd issue. Number 1 issue was no gameday childcare. 1 of 3 teams not providing it

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Suppose if locker room is main issue, we sitting pretty

wpr (23-Jul) : I thought so Mucky. In those useless player polls GB always rates high overall. Locker is a part of it.

Mucky Tundra (23-Jul) : Wasn't the locker room just updated like 6 or 7 years ago?
