I'm still confused about Chris Board

[ReedInTheWind]

Can you think of any UDFA we've kept this long that consistently played poorly when given reps? Is he really that valuable to special teams? I just don't see what this coaching staff sees in him that he's worth keeping on the roster. Did Alaka even get a snap?

They're not all UDFA but Chris Moore, Anthony Levine, Albert McClellan, Jordan Richards - all guys kept around in recent years just because of special teams.

Levine to his credit developed into a good dime back.

I can't believe we cut Canady last year over this bum too.

I don't get it either. An actual board would be more useful.

I don't really get it either. If he's here for ST, okay, have him play ST, but keep him off the field on defense.

Moore, Levine, and McClellan have all done/did some good things here and there offensively/defensively. I would not lump any of those guys in with Board when it comes to their play at their respective positions.

Board on the field, thus far in his career, you might as well have the team playing 10 on 11.

I'd say all of those names except maybe Richards have proven to be more valuable than Board on ST. Moore and Richards being gunners holds more value to me personally than Board blocking on punts. And Moore actually stands out at least and is good at pinning opponents.

McClellan was a special teams ACE who went on to NE cause he was so talented at it. Levine is an unsung vet of our team, our ST captain, and has played all over our defense (remember Baker's last stand in 2018 that got us into the playoffs? Levine had an effect on all of those downs). Even in Sundays game he sniffed out the fake punt that resulted in a turnover

I think Board is the classic example of a Practice Player. I can relate cause I was absolutely one of these guys in my early rugby days. Someone who looks like a stud in practice, is everywhere they're supposed to be, and then can't put it together on gameday against unfamiliar competition. It's like the yips. Both offseasons now we've seen him hyped as a force and given early playing time. Just to disappoint. That's the only explanation I could understand for why he's been kept around so long.

They kept Tyus Bowser arround too, even though he disappointed.Now he's showing his talents. May be the same w/Board.

Me either. Canady could play. Board sucks. I have no idea why he is still on this team.
