Not sure I understand much they’ve done on the DL. I hope it’s the strength some seem to believe. Simon was definitely one of th better DEs in the preseason. He transitioned much better than expected. Why was he even kept this long if his performance in the preseason didn’t matter? He’s definitely showed more than Basham. Not a message I like.

I suspected this when I saw him playing late on special teams against the 49ers.
It’s a bullshit move, just like the Hankins and Anderson moves. Who will start now? And if they trot Basham out there, I’ll be pissed. |

Getting more and more obvious Ballard sees this as a throwaway (developmental) year. He’s building for 2-3 years from now and isn’t worried about competing this year or next. I disagree with the approach, but not sure how anyone can claim that’s not the case.

They also traded TE Daniels to Seattle for WR Marcus Johnson.

Beginning to question Ballard's ability to build a roster.

I disagree that these moves (cutting Simon etc) means Ballard is playing a waiting game. First, he has always said that this rebuild will take time. So from that perspective, yes it is a waiting game. But I believe that he keeps the players that he thinks will help him now. He cut Fountain, a 5th round pick. The guy doesn't seem to have his ego wrapped up in any particular player, which bodes well for us.

What doesn't bode well for us is Ballard cutting superior players and making the team worse.

Ballard is being way too scheme rigid on the defensive side of the ball. I don't like that.

Simon, Hankins, and Anderson. All could start over the current roster. WTF Ballard?
