[quote=EdmundDorf;1318299]I could be wrong but I think that Saddiq Charles has been practising at OT through the OTAs[/quote]

He might be cut when the 53 is chosen...He needs a great TC preseason and health to make the team this season..

Agreed. We kept 9 Olinemen last year, and beyond our five starters Leno, Norwell, Roullier, Schweitzer(/Turner?) and Cosmi, I see Turner(/Schweitzer?) and Cornelius Lucas clearly ahead of him, and I have a hard time seeing Tyler Larsen not making the team either.
So add to the mix Keith Ismael, 7th round pick Chris Paul and a lot of low key FAs I had no clue were around, it seems like competition for those 8th and 9th spots will be harsh.

I've got my eye on Cole Turner. I like what we have at WR with Terry Jahan and Curtis. Backups aren't bad either. But there's no big guy to be the red zone threat. We kind of need Cole Turner to be that guy with Logan Thomas's health an issue.

Even if his health wasn't an issue, two big bodies for Wentz in the red zone would really help.

We still have Cam Sims, but yeah your concern is still valid.

Oh yeah, he of the three receiving touchdowns in his three year career.

Good one.
But to be fair he only spent only 2 full seasons on the active roster, and was thrown to by the same myriad of QBs only Terry was able to succeed with...
To me it's not crazy to hope he could find the somewhat bigger role that we've been expecting him to fill for a couple of years.

Also to be fair by year 3 you are what you are, and behind Terry we've really had nothing else consistent at WR so he's had ample opportunity to show us something and hasnt been able to, so it is fair to assume that he will always just be a guy

I think Cole Turner could definitely fill that role.

John Bates should get more snaps than Turner because he was the NFL's top run blocking TE in 2021 according to PFF with a stellar score of 87.6. He scored 70.7 overall and was ranked #15 as a rookie. IMO he is the best run blocking TE we've had since Don Warren who was a member of the legendary Hogs.

TE is about to become a very strong and deep position for the Commanders.

1. Logan Thomas
2. John Bates
3. Cole Turner

I think Sims has been underutilized by the team for whatever reason. It seems like Sims will make some plays whenever he get the chance. Sims isn't the fastest or biggest receiver but I believe he can be a good #3 WR, we just need to give him a real chance.

Think he will get a lot more opportunities as most defenses will be too concerned with McLaurin, Dotson, and Samuel. Think people are underestimating how much Dotson and a healthy Samuel can open up this offense. Both big time talents.

Re: Training Camp is fast approaching What....
 

When you say "we just need to give him a chance", I read "let's take a chance".

Glad we have three guys ahead of him on the depth chart. I wouldn't want to be in a position where we're relying on him unless injuries force it. It's not like he's been buried on the depth chart behind Isaac Bruce, Torry Holt, Az Hakim and Ricky Proehl his whole career.

Re: Training Camp is fast approaching What....
 

You can't coach Cam Sim's size at 6'5" 220 lbs. That is a huge catch radius. Wentz should give him opportunities for sure with his arm strength. Could see Cam Sims having a productive season with the new qb.

Could you see it? Sure. But would you count on it?

Re: Training Camp is fast approaching What....
 

[quote=Schneed10;1318346]Could you see it? Sure. But would you count on it?[/quote]Kid is only 26 years old and hasn't had a qb with Wentz's tools. McLaurin, Dotson, and Samuel are all around 6 ft. Sims sticks out bigtime with his size which will prove beneficial in certain plays/formations. Would not count on it but cautiously optimistic to answer your question.
