interesting. wonder if we dont pick up someone off the waiver wire though for that 5th spot. i hve moore as the 4th

 

I'm not surprise, next up is Pat White

 

I have a strange feeling that the Jets might pick him up

 

yeah probably. could have seen him sticking if we could have found a trade partner for thigpen or pennington but since that doesnt appear to be happening there simply isnt any room for pat

 

I guess the question on Turner has been answered, he had a chance to land a spot on the team and did not step up while Moore and Wallace took advantage on the opportunity.

 

i'm not sure there was a whole lot of difference between wallace and turner. kinda a coin flip if you ask me

 

Knew it, Wallace just outplayed Turner.

I do suspect Turner will land on a NFL roster though as he did not play poorly and he didn't really disprove his narrative coming out of USC.

 

Rams are a good landing spot maybe the Raiders.

Wallace is ahead of Moore..that is a surprise, probably due to Special Teams abilities.

 

Turner had plenty of time to prove himself. Wallace and Moore played with some swagger this preseason. I like this move.

 

As an Aztec alum I am really happy for Roberto and feel like he deserves it.

 

simply have to compete & contribute or find another way to earn a living

 

where did you read that because that would surprise me. i thouhgt moore outplayed all of them

 

Is the Curse of the USC offensive player alive and well?

Turner, and McKnight with the NYJ's has been horrible in Training Camp.

 

How does the waiver wire work? If a bunch of teams go after him do the team with the worst record from last year gets to pick him up?

 

Dont wanna brag too early, but yea. Wallace could be a beast. Way more of a special talent, and actually uses it.

 

We now have three UDFA at WR.

 

I'm very surprised if the depth chart is accurate. I'll be happy if Pruitt makes it back to the PS.

 

Darlington tweeted it.

Makes sense, they can activate Roberto on game days and expect some Special Teams contributions from him, Moore is a slot type Wr with no ST value, so unless there is an injury how is he going to play? He doesn't return kicks or cover them.

 

mustve skipped that postthat is actually a surprise. moore outplayed wallace

 

Two UDFA Wr's got a 3rd round pick voted off of Sparano Island.

Feed the wolf or get fed to the Wolves.

 

Well, they may get some picks wrong, but at least they aren't afraid of cutting ties and keeping the best player. That says a lot about our organization. Turner just couldn't run routes to save his life, and didn't contribute enough on special teams to be worth keeping.

 

You can see a difference in how they go after the ball, and fight for yards after the catch.

Example:

Turner plays like "Whoa! I caught the ball!".

Wallace plays like "Gimme that ball you little b*tch!".

:lol: Thats how i've interpreted what i've seen anyhow. :lol:

 

Moore's problem is that he is not an effective ST player, so head to head, when you are only going to carry 4 active Wr's on gameday, how can you carry Moore when we rarely run 4 Wr formations and he doesn't do Special Teams?

Another factor is losing Haynos, if we go Jumbo down inside the 5 yd line, Wallace's 6'5 frame means one more tall target for Henne.

And I'm glad to hear J Pruitt is going to the practice squad, he played well in the preseason and also has upside..thank goodness most of the GM's on crappy teams do not know how to comb practice squads for hidden diamonds.

 

like i ever read your posts :lol:

 

the special teams stuff makes sense padre. good point :up: as for the practice squad, you can only sign them to active roster. pruitt would have to be better than other teams 5th. dont think there are too many places where thats the case

 

Bro, believe me when I say, categorically, J Pruitt IS better than about 4 teams 5th Wr's..there are some squads that are just poorly managed, basically run like Wanny used to run the Dolphins.

You have 3 core Wr's the other ones are just roster filler in places like Cleveland, Oakland, Seattle, Detroit their #4 and #5 Wr's are more or less window dressing without even ST value.

 

I think they have made the right decision. The way Turner was used last season didnt make me think the coaching staff had much faith in him. Wallace may be an improvement and show more upside. The way the press stated that Turner would grab a spot mainly due to where we drafted him annoyed me. If Wallace shows he can be better than Turner then its a no-brainer. I want the best players on the team, not the highest picked.

 

And Omar Kelly

 

i cant believe we have 3 UDFA WR's on our squad.

 

Turner had an entire year to show something, and flopped. Wallace comes in and brings his game as an UDFA! I love it. I woulda been pissed had Turner made this team over him. I didnt even have to mention special teams. Im pumped!
