Thread: Matt Bowen Tweets

I'm tempted to tweet Bowen and see if I can get him riled up a bit...

J. Brown needs to remain on the active roster or I am sure we will lose him. He is one of the steals of this NFL draft.

Without a doubt, I hope the Bears don't even dream of putting him on PS, he'll be gone the moment he's off our active roster. Kid could be a damn good player if he's already rising through the depth chart like they say. This team is finally injecting some long over-due youth into the roster. I'm excited.

I agree Chi, and beyond that they're going to have to cut guys that can contribute b/c of the talent level pushing from the bottom up. But I cannot imagine that Brown is one of them. I think the same could be said for Allen.

The final roster is going to be very interesting. I do think we will lose some good players, and there may be a couple that we have to put on practice roster that will be good enough to be picked off.

I guess good problems to have for once, but still hate to see it happen

I agree and am following this with interest. It's nice to have the "problem" of having to cut guys that you hate to let go. Look at RB/FB for example. Forte and Bush are locks obviously. That leaves 5 guys (Bell, Clutts, Booker, Unga, and Allen) competing for 2, max 3, other spots. Bet another team, prob Detroit, is gonna pick up one of our castoffs. I hope we make some really smart choices.

MP I agree teams will definately look at picking up someone we let go from that group. But I think you need to add clutts into the safe area b/c he's also the backup longsnapper, which came in pretty handy last year; and Mannely isn't exactly youthfull. That leaves 4 guys for probably 1 or 2 spots.

I'd like to see Clutts stick as a FB/LS so I hope you're right. He was a pretty good blocker for us last year. That leaves a battle for the RB3 spot (I doubt we will keep 5) and its tough. Both Bell and Allen flashed something last year and I think neither of them would stay unemployed long if cut. Some team will pick them up as a reserve RB. Prob the damn Lions! Lol. Unga we could prob sneak onto the PS if desired.

I asked Matt Bowen about that and he said it would be decided by who can play the best on ST's.
