They carried Benson Mayowa for a year only to see him continue to struggled to finish plays in his second preseason. That was a lesson learned. I also don't believe an injury to another player actually enhances a player's chances of making a final roster. Special teams is another avenue. Although, I am not inclined to view Scruggs and Gwacham in competition with one another.
That I find hard to believe. For example, if Will Blackmon was lost due to injury, Burley would go from being a player "living on the bubble" to a mortal lock.
If Doug Baldwin suffers a season-ending injury, you don't think that opens up an opportunity for another receiver to make the 53?
If Tarvaris Jackson or Russell Wilson are done for the year, you think we might roll with just one QB?
It's next man up.
I was referring to unproven developmental prospects and rookies on today's current 90 man roster prior to training camp. "Another player" being Ryan Robinson ...... not a known proven veteran. Assumed that was self evident. Clarifying that distinction now for everyone's benefit.
Still can't agree with it . . . if all three drafted rookie linemen are placed on IR, you don't think that would have an impact on whether other "unproven developmental prospects and rookies," such as Nowak or Davis, make the 53-man roster?
Injuries impact everyone on the totem poll, and this is particularly true of "unproven developmental prospects and rookies" on the bubble of making the roster.
