at what point did i say he was slow or wasn't fast? Its nothing ground breaking that Perriman doesn't play at 4.2 speed, everybody knows or should know that by now. And no, we did not draft him solely because he's fast.

don't even start with the 40 talk, the 40 literally means nothing, the 40 is a practiced skill, most receivers don't play anywhere near their 40 speed, Perriman is a perfect example of that...

Doubt the FO will let him go with Suggs and Doom both nearing retirement. He's been in development for years and was a relatively high pick. Ozzie will get it done

He's young and has time to get better. He had a terrible day in Foxboro but, like i said, he's young and is entitled to a bad game considering he was a practice squader before being thrust into a starting role here and played admirably up until that particular game. I'd happily argue that he was the reason we even made it to Foxboro, not because he was amazing but because he stabilized the secondary enough to allow our rushers to rush and take some burden off the hampered secondary. His snaps will clearly go down but he'll get plenty of playing time in a relief role and as our probably #1 backup on the outside (as everyone knows Arrington should not be put outside).

What other team has the luxury of switching out lineman during a game? Seems like every other team has to ride the starters from start to finish. It'll be pretty amazing if we can give our starting olineman a rest during a game.

We'll see what kind of rusher he is in the preseason, right now we really don't know yet. We just have so many guys impressing right now its hard to say who exactly will emerge and make the team.

Dameshek is a joke, don't take anything he says to heart. Do we have the best "triplet?" no but 17 is laughable, all 3 are proven. If you look at his list he has a few teams above us with one mediocre piece with two good players (i.e. the Lions with Joique Bell) and some with second year guys that are hardly proven (i.e. Saints with Brandin Cooks). We should at least be 10. His rankings don't take into account balance.

considering there is a limited number of roster spots....yes, no need to waste a roster spot when we have plenty of capable guys

Letting SSS handle the returns is an interesting idea, I don't think he's been a return specialist since really early in his career. With all the receiving talent we have it's actually a viable option but, personally, I think we should go elsewhere considering SSS is our only real vet receiver with actual starting experience. I like Asa as the punt returner and Carter is an interesting guy for kick returner, I'm sure we'll see him return a few in the preseason.

I doubt we "could" have kept Tyrod, the whole thing with him is that he wanted out so he could have a chance to start. I think if we could have kept him Ozzie would have made it happen, Ozzie knows better than anyone that its almost always better to keep the guy familiar with the system and receivers

We'll see...a lot of fans have already jumped ship and disregarded the 3 year rule. Lets hope Elam proves them all to be fools...

All this talk about Welker but I think signing him would not be a good move. It's already going to be really hard deciding who to keep at WR and Welker doesn't seem to have much to anything left in the tank. I just don't see a Welker move anytime soon.

It'll be a tough battle at safety, especially if Brooks is ready to take a roster spot. If he is ready then I don't think there's room for Trawick, even if we carry 5 I would take Levine over him because of his versatility.

Never count Ozzie out, I won't be surprised if both Yanda and Osemele are re-signed. Couple years back we thought we couldn't keep Monroe and Pitta but Ozzie pulled it off. Not to mention we'll have lots of cap next offseason when all this dead cap is gone.

Exactly, Pitta is safe from being cut, the dead cap would simply not be worth it. Ozzie doesn't cut rookie draft picks and Gilmore has proven to be worthy of spot. Nobody is in jeopardy of being cut in that group.

we usually carry 3, its not an insane stetch of the imagination that we'd carry one more. Sure we've carried 4 once but every single other year we carried 3 but god forbid we keep one more.

There's lots of ways on God's green Earth that he could make it through the season on the PS. We're talking about an undersized WR with god awful injury issues, and it doesn't help that we don't really need his return skills anymore.

1) There is no TE battle...we'll carry 4, its not like that an unusual thing to do 2) As much talking up we've been doing regarding Carter it is far from an easy stash, especially if he backs it up in the pre-season 3) Camp already got injured as well, that goes some way towards settling it too

It's not out of the realm of possibility that we'll keep 7 receivers because there is just so much talent. Smith Sr., Perriman, Brown, and Aiken are locks, most likely Waller will be kept around because of that height. So that leaves up to 2 spots available. If Camp gets injured again when he gets back then I just can't see him making it, I think he could stay on PS without getting picked up, if he stays healthy on the PS then he can give it another go next year. Butler has been seriously impressing and Carter has been getting lots of buzz, Worthy has the tools...it'll be a tough battle and the one that can establish themself on ST will probably get the last spot. I think Butler and Carter will snag the last two spots.

Can't wait to see him and KLM play in the preseason

I don't think it's really a "competition" between Elam and Hill, Hill will be the starter but both will definitely get playing time, maybe some 3 safety sets? As far as the Welker tweet at the end...not gonna happen, we already have a tough group of receivers and Welker isn't needed right now. He should retire.

I'm sure Pees is just shuffling around the safeties because its just OTAs, get everyone some time back there. And I'm sure we'll probably do the same during the season, Lewis, Hill, Elam and Levine should all get time and give each other a rest

How was I "trying way too hard with the Doss and Brown part?" please, I invite you to teach me, I stated nothing but facts in my brief address between the two of them. Browns first year far exceeded anything Doss ever did, thats just a fact. I can't find a single post where you said Aiken was a bum, you wanna know why? because you never said that and I never said that you did, I said you are acting as if he is. Theres a big difference between acting like he's a bum and explicitly stating it. When i said "acting as if he is in serious danger of being cut" I wasn't saying "you are acting like it is highly probable that he'll be cut" I was saying "you are acting as if its a realistic probability." And its just plain not. If you want to be technical about it, obviously nobody is safe, SSS could be cut, Perriman could be cut, whether it "could" happen is beside the point, its a matter of whether the scenario in which it would happen is even worth considering and in the case of SSS, Perriman, Brown, and Aiken its not. You keep saying Aiken only has 24 catches, Aiken only has 24 catches, Aiken only has 24 catches....In a vacuum in which all WRs in the NFL are only equal ground, sure thats not very impressive, but lets take a step back into reality in which Aiken started the season as the #5 WR, maybe even #6 depending on how you felt about Camp, its gets much more impressive. Nobody ever said Aiken is a legend or HOFer, even for hyperbole that a bit much. Theres a vast difference between being considered a lock to make the roster and being a "legend." Considering Aiken has everything you want out of a receiver and when called upon and given more snaps he produced (not at "legend" levels, nobody is saying that), i.e. the Chargers and Dolphins games, he definitely should be considered a lock. He easily proved last season that he is a dependable target when on the field. Could he have a rough camp? yeah, could anyone? yeah. But how "rough" of a camp would he need ot not make the roster is the question. And that bad of a camp simply isn't a realistic possibility.

well to be fair, what round he was originally drafted (actually the 6th) in is pretty much irrelevant 3.5 years in. And we aren't lacking in speed at WR so his 40 time is nice and all but how fast he can run in a straight line isn't much of an indicator of ability at all
