Cuts Thread

[Mdbearz]

Parkey has not been very good in pre-season. I believe the Ravens have a good young kicker they are going to have to cut.

He made a 56 yarder last night Kaare Vedvik, and he can punt too.

He made a 57 yarder last night Kaare Vedvik, and he can punt too.

Isn't like $9 mil of Parkey's contract guaranteed? Didn't the guy make a pro bowl like 2-3 years ago?

The Ravens had no reason to bring in competition for Tucker, but they did. Not sure why we did not bring in a second kicker. What if Parkey had gotten hurt or sucked, oh wait..

Have all of his missed field goals been from 47+?

No, but most. He lacks long range ability apparently. That'll lose you some games, especially in CHI with the wind. He hit the uprights on a 36 yarder last night I believe.

AZ has a rookie and Dawson...
The kicking makes me nervous.

I remember lots of people being very high on Wright during his draft year.

Have we signed Fox as our challenge flag thrower yet?

Sorry, but 8 receptions in 3 years brings ZERO to the receiving table.

Once you take out the receiving from the FB title, all that is left is blocking.

So who has more experience in blocking a starting lineman in college or a starting FB in college?

The easy answer is that a starting lineman in college has many more chances to block than a starting fullback in college.

Who has more chances of blocking in the pros?

This one becomes a little more interesting because a backup lineman only will block when someone in front of him is injured while a starting FB is used rarely.



I honestly would rather use the spot for another TE, OLB or CB. However, if the Bears decide that they need someone to be the battering ram in front of the HB, don´t be stuck with the notion that a Clutts or Burton would be better than someone who has played as an offensive lineman all his life, be it Grasu or any athletic lineman the Bears can find.

Quick question: What will happen the next time that Mike Burton catches a football in an NFL game?





Answer: The career receptions for Tyler Clutts + the career receptions for Mike Burton will equal 20 receptions, not each ... total.

STFU and stop doubling down about your stupid ass idea if grassu being our new fb starting tomorrow.

Did you bookmark all the ones where you said Watson wouldn't be any good in the NFL?

This is idiotic. Its the NFL not 8th grade. the only reason to keep someone as a 4th back who isnt a traditional fullback would be because they can do multiple things eg Nall. Grasu is not going to play as a C so you'd be keeping someone who sucks as a lineman and has never played FB. It makes no sense. And even using your idiotic logic, Burton's 8 catches is more than Grasu's 0 so wouldn't that make him a better receiver? dumb

How the hell did we get on the topic of converting Hronis Grasu into a fucking FB lmao.
