Hopefully Dooley and Wedig can make the practice squad, especially over Arcuri (I'm shocked he hasn't been cut yet). Pearcy and Terry made some nice plays as well.
Yeah, Pearcy has some juice... Would like to see him stick around and see if he can developHopefully Dooley and Wedig can make the practice squad, especially over Arcuri (I'm shocked he hasn't been cut yet). Pearcy and Terry made some nice plays as well.
Maybe, but he's not a big hitter and he hasn't had an interception in his last 4 seasons.Curl leaving would be a huge surprise to me. IMO he's much better than his backups.
You mean he's not drawing penalty flags and hurting his team with big nasty hits? Clearly he's good for the Rams were should cut or trade him though?Maybe, but he's not a big hitter and he hasn't had an interception in his last 4 seasons.
I have a general question that is not just related to Curl or the safety position.Interesting perspective, just trying to figure out what Curl does well that another safety cannot do. Rams do not have safeties that cover well, that is where Wallace helps. Curl more of a strong safety and with the likes of with McCollough and Ingle, Rams seem to be in good shape there.

I don't know what the Rams will do but you giving those 2 reasons to cut a box safety is amazing.
IMO, if a team considers themselves extremely deep at one position to where they have to simply release someone who they believe can really play a role at said position, it makes all the sense in the world to consider moving some of that depth if a position with less depth can be helped in the transaction via personnel or cap savings.I have a general question that is not just related to Curl or the safety position.
In a year when we expect to be a strong SB contender, what would be the purpose of trading away depth? It's a game of attrition. Many times the last team standing had adequate depth to survive unexpected injuries. Every year we moan about lack of depth but as soon as we have great depth, there are a ton of suggestions to trade it.
I'm baffled.
I'd let a team trade a 1st for Corum...Nobody will want Rivers. My bet is if the Rams move one of the RBs it will be Corum.
Your two criticisms of him are what I replied to. Your comments not me twisting them or putting words in your mouth.It's amazing to me that you took asking whether or not he is safe to this response. I didn't think that I provided reasons to cut him. I just offered differences between him and the others. That said, I'm also not so sure that McCollough (who is supposedly set for some snaps in dime sets) isn't better.
Anyway, being physical doesn't automatically mean penalty flags and can be an asset for a box safety (which I don't believe that he was limited to being the last few years).
Extremely deep is the key phrase. I'd define extremely deep as being 6 deep, like Washington at RB, who just traded one. We're deep overall, but I wouldn't say we're extremely deep at any position.IMO, if a team considers themselves extremely deep at one position to where they have to simply release someone who they believe can really play a role at said position, it makes all the sense in the world to consider moving some of that depth if a position with less depth can be helped in the transaction via personnel or cap savings.
You didn't put words in my mouth? Really? Re-read your post.Your two criticisms of him are what I replied to. Your comments not me twisting them or putting words in your mouth.
He absolutely is physical we've all seen him being so. And he's a good tackler and usually in the right spot though that can be a problem with everybody on our D at times.

Upon further review, I'm not so sure it even has be extremely deep. Just deep enough where you have to cut a talented player because of roster math.Extremely deep is the key phrase.

No surprises there. As for who might end up on the PS, I’m going with Hawthorne,Wedig, and McAlliste
