Noeller Posted May 15, 2023 Author Report Posted May 15, 2023 Janarion Grant.... The best KR the league has seen in years.... Is gonna be a surprise cut. Good gravy.... That's quite the Stephen A Smith "Hottest Take", right there... wbbfan, Wideleft, BBlink and 7 others 4 6

The rest I would agree with. If I knew how much everyone was making I'd be able to make a better guess of who else should be on this list. Yup. Salary cap plays a role. Grant would really surprise me but If you find a guy who can do more than just return, think he's a candidate BBlink 1

Booch Posted May 15, 2023 Report Posted May 15, 2023 Grant ain't going anywhere... We can also roster Augudosi with the same starters as last yr...just as we did with Mcrae in lineup...with BO and Augustine..and likely the kid we drafted we don't "need" Mcrae on the roster...Augudosi as a big target and a red zone nightmare serves more usefulness and purpose than Mcrae doing limited reps My guess secondary to start the season barring injury will be Rose and Lawrence on corners...Nichols and either one of Parker and Houston as the other halfback/6th guy...unless some new rookie pulls an Alford/Nicole....and we roll with that unless someone is stinking up the joint... Biggie resting I think is to get a good look at some of the imports brought in..we know what he can do and I've seen him and BA training a lot and he don't look injured to me Wilson too ..tho I wouldn't be upset to see one those new guys brought in take the camp by storm and make it impossible to let him go Noeller 1

I think the only thing that has limited Grant getting on the field has been his ineffectiveness while doing so, not his passport. Bigblue204 and Goalie 2

Grant has been pretty successful with his handful of gadget plays they package for him. He's not an every down receiver though and we don't want to double duty him too much because he is such a game breaker as a returner. Bigblue204, wbbfan and Jesse 3

Biggie will be getting a ton of days off. We need him fresh and ready for the season. It would be irresponsible of coaching and management to work him hard in TC. He literally has nothing to prove and why risk injury. Edited May 15, 2023 by GCn20 Bigblue204, rebusrankin, Tracker and 1 other 3 1

Biggie is a manimal. His conditioning is superb, and he will only need the last week of camp to knock the offseason rust off. Tracker and Noeller 2

Walters said he is taking a "wait and see attitude", he is not making any plans to implement the new ratio rules until he sees what other teams are doing with them. Noeller 1
