1) Mannion. If Goff goes down, the Rams are sunk. That being said, only Mannion knows the system and Allen has only been playing vs 3's and 4's in a vanilla style. That's deceptive. I think the best case scenario is he takes over for Mannion next year when Mannion's contract is up.
2)Price. He played well last game and was a pick by the new regime in, what I think, was a planned scenario to revamp our LB crew.
3) Reynolds. He was drafted to replace Thomas (same skill set), but has now been dinged up on both of his first 2 camps. Guys who come on to the league like this usually have careers like this. Either he goes or Thomas does, because Hodge is gonna make the roster. If not, he'll be signed somewhere else.
4) Kiser. Actually, until last game I thought he sucked. I know MLB is the most desperate area on the roster so Kiser's learning curve is tolerable, but he's showed nothing that would make me keep him over Hager RIGHT NOW. I know there are folks who are high on this kid and I saw enough last game to think he can get significantly better, so I would be surprised if he washed out. He'd get picked up somewhere and given a chance to develop. Just don't know if he can be hidden on the practice squad. However, based on what I have seen this preseason, I would be disappointed if Kiser was kept at the expense of Hager.
Guys that WOULD NOT surprise me if they got cut?
1) Hemingway. I've been reading a lotta praises in the form of hope re him the last 3 camps. Haven't seen it.
2) Easley. see Reynolds, but at a couple mil a year.
3) Williams. I was not sure if Noteboom could handle LT in a pinch, but he looks just as good if not better than Williams. He could fill in on the right should anything befall Havs. Gbye Williams.
3) RB Davis. See Easley and Reynolds.
4) Demby. I get it. You take over a team and want to make it your own. Usually that means dumping "your inheritance " for YOUR new guys as quickly as possible, but eventually you have a roster that is good enough that you have to start excepting that there are few openings and not every draft pick is gonna work out. Maybe I'm seeing something else, but he has stunk vs guys who are also fighting for roster spots.
