But yeah it would be cool if Schrot made the team. He might be a diamond in the rough
June 8, 20196 yr comment_395728 Label me shocked at the Simonese release. Bennet too. Two guys I thought were locks. Simonese just couldn't get to that next step I guess. So much for my prediction on him being our top Cnd rec this year.
June 8, 20196 yr comment_395730 I guess the team just got tired of waiting for Simonise to actually realize his potential and would rather go to battle with a player like Schrott who doesn’t have the raw ability but they should at least be able to know what they can expect from him.

By raw ability you mean height, right? Haha
June 8, 20196 yr comment_395732 Simonise played himself off the team on Thursday. Just too many drops. I was hoping he'd take that next step this year but it didn't seem to be happening.

June 8, 20196 yr comment_395741 Also, non expert opinion, Simonise didn't seem to have the knack for getting open. Also, I guess they did not want another "patiently waiting to realize potential" guy. They use to be criticzed a lot for that kind of thing. Edited June 8, 20196 yr by Mark F
June 8, 20196 yr comment_395742 Cutting a guy with a ton of talent for drops in one game is not the way I would go about things. It’s how you end up gifting another team 5 years of prime Adarius Bowman. And that was at least an issue with drops over an entire season. Not saying this will burn us for sure, but he was the only Canadian receiver of that body type and type of talent that we had.
June 8, 20196 yr comment_395744 Just now, Mr Dee said: But with others waiting in the wings, how long do you wait? Petermann and Schrot are only similar to Simonise in terms of their passport. He’s a pure jump ball wideout. No other Canadian replaces that, even if they become superior receivers.

I feel very conflicted about this cut. Disappointed too.

June 8, 20196 yr comment_395748 Saw Both Simonise and Bennets release coming. Doesn't surprise me. Simonise was on the 3rd unit for a reason.

Well then, who cares if he’s a jump ball wideout? Everybody’s disappointed when a high prospect bombs out, but that’s just what happened.
June 8, 20196 yr comment_395750 Never got the impression Simonise cared all that much about his craft.

Everybody’s disappointed when a high prospect bombs out, but that’s just what happened. It’s like saying you’ll cut Matthews because Lawler played better in two preseason games. Even if it’s true, they serve completely different purposes. Neither Petermann or Schrot will ever be a great WR. They are pure slot guys. If Matthews or Adams go down, we literally have no one to replace either of them other than pushing Wolitarsky back outside. All the import guys who have performed well in camp are slots.

June 8, 20196 yr comment_395756 Irving said before last game that he hadn't really stood out during TC or the first game. And he stood out more often the nit for the wrong reasons this last game.
