Very exited to see him this preseason.

 

Like the kid, but shorts/shells and him "finding completions" against UDFA corners and safetys is not something to throw a party for just yet..

 

Anyone else thought the title said Doughy Love, and then figured MikeHoncho would be in here....um....finishing....

 

Be interesting to see if we keep 3 Qbs on the roster. I would think if he makes a really strong impression we might.

 

I really hope not.

Tannehill hasnt missed a start in his career (knock on wood)...I would hate to waste the roster spot for 3 QBs....if he has THAT much of a showing, I throw him in against the 2's in the 3rd preseason game....if he performs...cut Moore and keep him as #2.

With Tannehills track record, and Moores price...Id hate to keep 3 QBs. Moore is on the downside of his career.

 

How do you figure that? I thought he held that clipboard just as well as he did the season prior.

We keep Doughty because of his upside and just abiut any quarterback can do what Moore does.

 

Sounds like a genre of porn starring Pillsbury Pete or Betty Cocker...

Coffee is for closers!

 

Just curious what are cap savings, if any, for cutting Moore?

 

Moore will be 32 when the season starts and hasnt started a game in 5 years......thats the downside of his career. Unless you're being funny and I missed it lol

 

Awesome. Much more has been said of Thill, I guess now you'll think that means he's good, right?

 

Moore is getting only 1.4 mil this season, so that's not a factor.

 

Just going off the observations of @FLSportDebater who is doing a fantastic job with play by plays:

1. Doughty had a few touchdowns on Friday.

2. Generally a lot of completions or drops. I see him noting 16 completions and 3 drops versus only 3 incompletions that happened either because the pass was batted away or because Doughty missed. I believe there were 2 sacks with another 2 plays (1 incomplete and 1 complete) that might have been sacks.

3. He got Jordan Phillips to jump off sides with a hard count.

4. The camp attendee in question believes Doughty's footwork looks "A LOT smoother" in drills than Tannehill's.

5. On the other hand the attendee noted on a missed sideline pass that Doughty "really doesn't have a lot of zip" on his throws.

 

Incidentally the high number of completions/drops is pretty normal for a practice setting. This camp attendee hasn't noted a whole lot of Tannehill passes hitting the ground either.

 

No interceptions but that doesn't mean they're dominating. I think the DL is giving them fits and at other times they're having to hold the ball so long and check down to a guy that goes nowhere, and probably would have been sacked already before they released the ball.

 

We are keeping Matt Moore. He is due $1.4 mil this season, but if we cut him, we get an additional cap charge of $850,000 bringing his cap number to $2,250,000. So basically, we could pay him $1.4 mil to play or $2.25 mil not to play - pretty obvious decision.

For a few years now, I have been kinda hoping to move away from Matt Moore. He has not looked nearly as effective in the preseason, and from what I can tell, he looks to have regressed. I think the only way that we cut Moore is if Doughty looks head and shoulders better than Moore.

I think Doughty making the 53 depends on a lot of things (some that are out of his control). Injuries at other positions, special teams players, other players who have showed potential, and positional depth all can play a part in determining whether or not we keep three quarterbacks. It is really hard to tell at the moment.

 

One thing to remember is the last two roster generally do not play.

 

Joke's on you. Finished a while back.

Generally, yeah, but if two receivers are open hypothetically and the one receiver's route is slower-developing and has touchdown potential, you don't want to settle for the other receiver who may be open sooner but is less of a gain. That's what I think he is alluding to.

 

I thought you were confused about his statement, when apparently you were confused about the notion. My mistake.

 

Oh.....I had the misunderstanding this was a messageboard, and thats literally the point. Whoopsies

 

No spaces, you have spaces and that's why it doesn't work

Just click the video tag icon when making a new post (it looks like a film roll, next to the photo icon) and paste the url in there, be sure there are no spaces in front or back

"Doughty Love" sounds like a British soft core porn.

 

Being a Marshall fan, I've seen him play a lot in CUSA. The guy can play.
I'm not sure he can play better than Tannehill, but he has an NFL future as a backup at the very least.

 

He's up against tough competition in camp in that Zac Dysert and Ryan Tannehill have the cannon arm he lacks. If he were playing next to just Matt Moore and say a Chad Pennington, he'd have an easier time.

 

His accuracy and his instincts I think are going to get Grant some good passes during preseason. I predict at least 3 touchdowns.
