Defensive line. Hooks or L.T. Walton. I'll take Hooks. Walton has had his chances, Hooks impressed a bit.

Punter. Wile or Berry. Wile. Better and cheaper

Safety. Berhe or M. Allen. I take Berhe. Allen got hurt and missed too many tackles when he played.

Quarterback. Jones or Dobbs. If I could trade neither, I'd go with Jones based on experience.

I like what I’ve seen from Wile but Tomlin goes with NFL experience here and keeps Berry. Although I would be keeping Wile’s number close by just in case Berry starts out slow.

Here I think Tomlin goes with Berhe. He likes his hard hitting and special teams play. I think he’ll try and stash Marcus on the Practice Squad.

QB will be a very tough one. Dobbs had a very good camp and showed well in pre season games. I’m going out on limb here and say Coach Mikey keeps Dobbs who has more upside and they can control for a couple more seasons after this one. Jones is unrestricted F/A in 2019 I believe. Dobbs really does a good job running the Steeler offense. I like his mobility and ability to read defense which comes as no surprise. The kid is very bright. May be trying to trade Jones.

I think Tomlin goes with LT Walton here. LT filled in well last season when called upon.
Hooks they will try and stash on the Practice Squad.

My two cents!

I thin k both the ILB & OLB (new guys) make the squad. ONE thin\g I do know is that I hope the old veteran "BUBBLE screen" get C-U-T




Salute the nation

Good call there Coach....on all your choices...you just confirmed your status as a talent evaluator.

But if you could trade neither......then you picked wrong too.

I'm sure he has a post somewhere else in another thread where he took the exact other players where he will pull them up in 6 months to a year. For I told you so.
 
Coach, come eat your crow. We all miss (but this was a pretty epic miss). :rofl:
 
too funny... if you are going to gloat that you successfully predicted that a 7th round draft pick would not make the team you need to come take your lumps for this epic miss...

That's why my 7th round pick was to MAKE a roster. A 1 in 20 vs a 20 to 1 prediction.
 
Well I got three out of four missing on Marcus Allen but that’s ok. Glad to be wrong on that one. I like Marcus Allen and his upside is much higher than that of Berhe.

I hope someone has saved this thread for the inevitable moment Coach tries to gloat about being right about something and bumps a year old thread...
 
So, uh, Coach, c'mon man.

Its times like this when I'll take avatar bets. Wile who was picked up by the Vikings to have a better Net over Berry in the 2018 season? Who wants to bet me? Ike, or Slash. Nah, they won't because they know I'm likely correct.

We'll see if Hooks, who I think showed more than Walton is a better player or not in time.

Because NET average is all that matters?

wasn't this explained to you before?

You seem to have a disconnect when it comes to learning...

Lot of things matter, net average is primary for punters. Wile has a better leg, better hang time and will force more fair catches, hence his Net is higher. The pre-season proved that.

Now comes the part when you and Ike drop like a fly in a freezer and won't even risk an avatar bet...because you know I'm likely correct.

I think Tomlin kept the wrong player.

I'll take a punter bet.

Baring injury Barry will have less touchbacks.

Easy bet.

The bet I offered is net average or average. Touchbacks are part of Net.
