Damn
Good move for Bengals. They’re getting a shifty rookie whose good fortune it was to get top notch instruction from Lions coaches from the start.
I’m sure we were hoping to sneak him through onto the practice squad like Nowaske last year. And like Nowaske he got sniped.
Fudge.
Given their relationship, I instinctively assume there may have been some discussion between Zac and Dan.
As much as Dan is interested in winning, and as sure as he will put his team’s priorities way out in front of everyone’s, he’s still a former player that wants all 90+ players he sees to get their shot.
I thought the relationship was between Zac Taylor & Ben Johnson.
Zac was in Miami in 2012 through 2015. Dan was there 2010 through 2015.
dang. the price of having solid depth.
Rich people problems
surprised they didn’t put Isaiah Thomas or Allen Robinson down. They weren’t getting claimed.
Blockquote surprised they didn’t put Isaiah Thomas or Allen Robinson down. They weren’t getting claimed.
Exactly. Was saying this on another thread. Robinson has been all but useless and can’t play special teams. Why are we wasting a roster spot on him over a young guy with a lot of potential?
They were I am sure.
Williams had 3 targets and caught 2 for just 6 yards.
Due to injuries and lack of playing time he hasn’t put up much stats. So it’s a little surprising he was claimed.
The Lions prioritized the size and experience of Robinson as more valuable.
Clearly they knew the risk and either didn’t think he’d be claimed or weren’t worried if he was.
I don’t believe either were PS eligible.
I believe Thomas will be after this week though but considering we snatched him off of Cincys PS my guess is they might claim him if we had.
Yeah, unfortunately we had a short-term focus, and ARob is probably now pushing Patrick. But they are almost the same player.
A young return guy like IWill, who had a great pre-season is much more risky to sneak through. Though he did start out there, but by calling him up, we probably drew attention to it. You have to trust the staff, but when I saw the headline…IWill to the PS…I said uh-oh.
if I remember correctly Williams made the initial 53 and was inactive most of the season but was never on PS
Yeah you’re probably right since we didn’t have Patrick yet.
