Can't say i'm too surprised but what a shame. I thought he had the tools to be a good corner for us.


Not sure if this needs an entire thread for itself. Just thought the masses would be happy to read the news.

If need be, move this post wherever you want mods.

He was a mess in coverage...wish the best for him

Re: Amerson Waived
 

What a waste of a pick, him and Phillip Thomas.

Re: Amerson Waived
 

One thing I really like about McCloughan is he seems to be a no nonsense type of GM. Too many times i've seen players STILL playing here who haven't met expectations all because of a big name or something else.

The message is clear now. If you don't perform you're out the door.

Re: Amerson Waived
 

We could have gotten players like Eddie Lacy, Travis Kelsey, Tyran Mathieu, TJ McDonald, JJ Wilcox, etc. all picked after him. Another bust from our great ex-GM Shanarat.

Best of luck, David.

Re: Amerson Waived
 

I guess the talk of perhaps converting him to safety was not substantiated. Or maybe Trenton Robinson's performance made that a non-starter. Or both. A shame.

Shocker

I'm not really too heartbroken by skipping Lacy and Kelcey.

In the end, I think we didn't lose too much. Pieces like those wouldn't have made us a complete team back then anyway.

Robinson is better and Amerson is terrible. You can't polish a turd into a diamond. Sticking Amerson into safety, he would've been terrible there as well.

Plus you invested in bringing over a couple dudes at safety, and drafted a dude as well. I dunno, but I trust a Scotty draft pick way more than I trust a Shanahan one.

Re: Amerson Waived
 

Agreed on Morris. ^

Except he's already losing playing time to Scots guy by week 2.

Morris had 18 carries yesterday.

Jones had 19 carries.

Seems like they're splitting the work pretty evenly, just like the coaches have said they would.

Re: Amerson Waived
 

I bet if amerson would have come out and made an impact on special teams vs the rams he'd still be on the roster. Instead he was a ghost and had a penalty called against him.
