WR, TE, SS have been impacted by injuries.

 

That isn't a "roster change"

How has gratz played to a benching? He has probably been the best member of the secondary so far..

It would appear that he has misunderstood his responsibility  at times by letting receivers release to the safeties when he should have stayed with them in coverage.   At least that's what I thought I saw happen prior to him being replaced temporarily by McCray.  I could be wrong.

Almost 200 roster changes this year. 14 in the last 10 days. Clearly not a team with consistency. Still don't think it's a positive sign. Necessary? Probably. But not a positive sign.

I wonder how many roster changes other teams have made in comparison. Maybe this is the norm?

We've had 188 transactions this year.  


Other teams:


Buccaneers: 223

Colts: 191

Jaguars: 188

Bears: 176

Vikings: 158

Texans: 154 (they didn't count their draft picks as a transaction like we do)

Patriots: 150 (they didn't count their draft picks as a transaction like we do)

Chiefs: 150

Raiiders: 148

Bills: 145

Lions: 145 (they didn't count their draft picks as a transaction like we do)

Saints: 142 (They didn't count their draft picks as a transaction like we do)

Browns: 141

Titans: 140

Redskins: 136

Giants: 136 (they didn't count their draft picks as a transaction like we do)

Steelers: 130

Bengals: 130

Eagles: 128 (they didn't count their draft picks as a transaction like we do)

Ravens: 125

Seahawks: 113 (they didn't count their draft picks as a transaction like we do)

Packers: 109 (they didn't count their draft picks as a transaction like we do)

Chargers: 100 (they didn't count their draft picks as a transaction like we do)

Broncos: 50 (not sure what they don't count as a transaction)


Could not find transaction numbers for: Jets, Dolphins, Cowboys, Panthers, Falcons, Rams, 49ers, Cardinals


Average: 142

Average (not including the Broncos): 146

Why Thomas over Watson?

"Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, if he gets angry, he's a mile away and barefoot."

Why Thomas over Watson?

 

I don't think its Watson.  It's probably Telvin Smith who got benched.

 

Looked like the lineup for the most part was Smith-Poz-Reynolds... so either Reynolds or Telvin got benched.

Is Watson a bust? Should I panic?

I don't think its Watson. It's probably Telvin Smith who got benched.

The Otto position was manned by Leroy Reynolds, who was backed up by Dekota Watson. Watson was signed to play the Otto position. Thomas was backing up Poz.

No panic just a head scratcher.

Surprised me too given that JT Thomas was behind Poz at MLB.  Maybe he was out of position at MLB?  Hopefully he's better suited for Otto than he was at MLB.

Then I guess its Reynolds who got benched.  Somebody got benched... and Watson wasn't starting from what I could tell.

 

Edit: oh I see wht you mean.... ya, im guessing Watson doesn't know the plays well enough due to his training camp injury.  JT Thomas was pretty uninspiring in preseason.  He barely made the roster.
