Ireland will churn the roster this yr, none of the bottom 12 players, practice squad included, are safe from the Ax.

 

They were/are high on him that is why he made the initial roster and played week one.

We are seeing the definition of managing your roster , making moves as situations dictate. Injuries , special teams ability , game day production as I mentioned before , we are seeing Ireland take full control of this team if he had not before.

PS for Micah , fingers crossed , I really like his potential game a year from now.

 

I don't know about you guys, but I have never been high on any johnson.:shifty:

 

Sorry, this thread title made me giggle

But yes, I also thought we couldn't get enough Johnson. :shifty:

 

Johnson was/is a limited player. Fans noticed him b/c he made plays going down hill and everybody loves big hits, but he's lost in coverage.

 

I wnat him back, i hope we can bring him back in. This has to say alot about carpenter and how they thought he played.

 

Johnson is still a one trick pony playing downhill inside the tackles...but I must admit he did transition his game to the NFL better than I thought he would and did his one trick pretty well in the PS.

 

Well:

-Ika Francis isn't practicing

-New guy at practice #62

 

Sounds like a pretty good reason to PS the guy . What he does well , he does quite well and can get better, I also think he may be able to significantly improve his areas of weakness.

Personally I like players with some boom potential for the PS. To me he shouts football player, so I want to see if he can upgrade some of his limitations and further enhance his positive attributes.

 

Hmm, have to wonder about that one..did Ike go out partying Saturday Night?

 

What the heck does he have?? Mono????

 

Ike has to be sick no?

Thanks for the pretty much rolling updates :up:

 

Geathers is on the PS now.

Q is working first team at SOLB Misi on first team on the Weakside.

 

What'd I do to you pal?

 

:hi5: Edge setting will be of extreme importance this week.

 

yeah we are high on johnson, and thats why he'll be inserted into the rear of the roster on the practice squad, its a slippery area though with guys sliding in and out of there constantly, but hes pretty nicely built, and should find a way to stick for a long time...

:huh1:

 

Or he was poisoned. You would have to guess that Misi would be a prime suspect.

 

Is 62 Lionel Dotson? Cory Procter is now wearing Lionel's old #71.

 

That's gayer then Perez.

 

Disagree...physically....no COD, limited athletically, little speed, no quickness, ZERO range down the line, .... you may coach up some things and he may improve his lousy hand placement, his upright style when asked to anchor, his total lack of awareness in the passing game and his lack of ability to disengage.....but IMHO a team should accept he is an early down LB that will thump you, likes to attack downhill and does that fairly well and a heck of a lot better than I personally thought he would at the NFL level....but athletically he is limited IMHO.

 

#62 is geathers, dotson is #95, i think we cut johnson for walden, sparano said he wasnt happy with the way the special teams handled the opportunity for smith, walden is a core special teamer, they try to fix the return game

 

Gotcha. Looks like Geathers had to surrender 95 eh? Thanks.

 

As anyone whose had it can attest, food poisoning or stomach virus, it definitely takes a few days to get over.

No way in hell he's out there on the practice field. :lol:

 

Q Moses...Playin time...:shifty:...:yes:

 

He is limited in the sense that he doesn't run like a deer , agreed.

His speed has improved from what he was timed at his pro day. There has been talk he was not completely healthy , and that contributed to his slow timing. Regardless, speed can be improved.

You are limited by your genetics of course but there is a wide spread belief that you can not get faster in sports by quite a few people and that simply is not true. Seeing that he has improved that aspect , I see no reason he can't further that improvement , at least some what with the correct training, specifically plyometric intense training.

Awareness is also something that can be improved , imo , by practise. There was a saying in my baseball days , and taken by Cal Ripken for his training academy , "Practise doesn't make perfect, perfect practice does... " Maybe simplyfying things at least a touch , but true imo.

Zach Thomas is a good example of how film study can make you instinctually better or more aware. If you do things right , you can improve. While I love Zach , he was much better going forward than backward as well, not to the extent how Micah is limited of course.

I also agree he almost assuredly will always be somewhat limited and primarily a 2 down back , I see him being able to strenghten his positives and improving ( somewhat ) on his negatives. To me he looks like and has shown he is a football player.
