CUTS
Alfred Morris - While I'd keep him and he wasn't looking too bad yesterday until we went totally to the pass when we were playing catch up, I do think the writing has been on the wall for him for a while. Think is I'm not sure I like any of our alternatives. :/
Josh LeRibeus - Gone gone gone. And about time too. Watching that game yesterday I think our O-Line folded when Spencer long got injured and McRib came in at LG. We couldn't run to that side for toffee! And the sacks and at least one of the fumbles came when GB Defense came straight through that left hand part of the line. I think even when Long came back he was hurt, and Trent, who was having a sub par day, couldn't make up for either of them.
Arie Kouandjio - While we're on the O-Line I think Scotty will definitely draft here. There will need to be casualties. Arie may be one of them. Or maybe Spencer Long. I haven't seen much from Arie to know if he or Spencer is the best incumbent.
Andre Roberts - Gone. He hasn't been really useful at all in the time he's been here. We need an influx of young talent at WR so I think he'll be making way... with that in mind
Rashad Ross - I'd cut him too. Or maybe push him to the practice squad or something. I think Crowder has a spot on this team but Ross hasn't impressed me at all really. While we're talking receivers, I think they'll go another year with DJax and Garcon too, while searching for replacements for them.
Marcel Jenson - We'll have back much more choice at TE next year with potential returns from Paul, Paulson and Carrier possibly. The only keeper is Jordan Reed, anyone else is fair game to be gone.
To take a look at the peeps BnG mentioned....
Will Blackmon - Not sure. He's not been bad, but we need help desperately in the secondary. There will be cuts here, but I've no idea who. It'll take Training Camp to sort that out. Johnson, Everett, Phillips and Harris all are on the chopping block. Blackmon I don't know. Depends what Scotty does in the off season to patch this part of the defense up. Draft or FA.
Pierre Thomas - I quite like what I see from him sometimes. If Morris is gone maybe I could see us keeping him. But a backfield of Jones, Thompson and Thomas doesn't thrill me. I think that we have bigger areas of the team to fix this year. I'm on board with those that would prefer to put draft and FA emphasis on the D-Line and the O-Line.
Retires:
Jason Hatcher - I think maybe he'll call it a day.
Keeps:
Kirk Cousins - Agreed I hope!
Dustin Hopkins he's been a real difference maker. He's staying.
DeSean Jackson - I was in two minds. He's crazy good at times. But he's always injured and has brainfart moments like that almost TD yesterday and that bizarre return the other week. But he's irreplacable when he's on. His skillset won't last forever, he'll slow down eventually, and we need a replacement at that position. But not next year.
Jason Hatcher - Not totally sure on this one. I think we may see turn over on the D-Line.... Hatcher may be one who is gone. But i'm keeping him around at the moment. He's been contemplating retirements anyway...
Terrance Knighton - Staying. He's a good locker room man, we need that kind of presence on the team.
Coaches:
I think the coaching staff stays as is. The juries out for me on Barry. Lets give him some proper toys to play with next year without the baling wire and ducktape.
Draft:
Center (Desperately!!!)
Left Guard (Almost as Desperately!!!!!)
Cornerback
And additionally if we have the picks, I'd see if I could grab a late rounds WR or RB to take a stab at.
What do y'all think?
