Kraig Urbik released

[dolfan91]

Apparently Urbik has been released with an injury settlement.

 

[spiketex]

By cutting him early they are effectively giving Urbik a few more days to try to land elsewhere. This actually shows some respect for the experienced veteran player. We will probably see a lot more cuts like this, right across the NFL this week. This one surprises me because I thought Urbik provided depth at Guard, but I guess they really like some of the other guys like Jesse Davis, Anthony Steen, Isaac Asiata, Eric Smith and Jake Brendel to provide the O-line depth.

 

[circumstances]

I guess the level of comfort with Steen, Brendel, Jesse Davis, Isaac Asiata, etc., for guard/backup center was sufficient prior to the cuts around the league.

His injury must not be as insignificant as it was first reported.

 

[dolfan91]

I think Urbik's release may have been facilitated by the play of Davis and Brendel. Looks like Steen, Davis, Brendel, Smith and possibly Asiata are making the team.

But but Adam B said no big deal - just one game. Never trust Adam

 

[ChambersWI]

Injury settlement means ir was fairly significant. But staff loves Brendel

I think its spelt D A V I S to be honest

Whoa, I thought Urbick was reasonable last year as a backup. But, to be honest, I wondered who we were keeping on the interior line because we had numbers there. I'm going to take the glass half full view as others have in this thread that the staff is happy enough with Steen, Brendel, and Asiata as interior line backups, with Jesse Davis the odds on favorite to start. Notwithstanding Urbick's injury, he has a reasonable floor as a player.

How does this look
Tunsil
Davis
Pouncey
Bushrod
James

Backup tackle: Smith
Backup Guard: Asiata
Backup swing guard/center: Brendel and Steen

I suppose they'd keep Young as another tackle and the tenth OL. Maybe they can get by with nine. That might be the deepest line we have had in years.

Not a good player

He was an adequate backup. Our football team was much better with Urbik in the lineup than it was with Thomas, Douglas, or Turner.

 

[BSQ]

How does it look? It looks like Davis is the guy and he better be good!

I think Larsen is supposed to be coming back at some point as well

I think Larsen is supposed to be coming back at some point as well

yes, i think the team fully expects Larsen back after week 8.
