[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 567186"] I've got a couple of thoughts on this. First, with the new CBA, cap savings can be carried over from year to year; before it was "use it or lose it" in-season. This provision has changed the landscape at the broad margins, which is what we're looking at here. Savings are now, well, actual savings. On the flip side, when you isolate a player's cap savings if cut, you have to offset that with the cap hit of the guy who replaces him. The rookie minimum this year is $420,000 which would be the lowest offset. If, for example, Lattimore was released to make room for a DL veteran brought in from the outside, it might well be a cap loss. Regarding Bush as a pass defender: (1) We've got good depth and versatility...there's no reasonable expectation he'd have to see the field. (2) I would not be so certain he doesn't make a mistake on every third time he's been targeted in regular season action. He's one of those guys who relies too much on what he reads in the QB's eyes; sometimes he wins as with last night's route-jump pick; other times he gets burned badly. He's not to be confused with the uncanny Charles Woodson in this regard. I think this is why he always looks so great in preseason seemingly every year, but raggety in regular season when he gets the chance; he can get away with mistakes against second and third string QBs. Vet QBs would have some ideas about how to work him. This QB-reading, route-jump-happy, high-risk-high-reward, highlight-film-seeking, stats-for-contract-calculating, business-decision-making approach to defending receivers is precisely how we picked off a league-leading number of passes in 2011 while giving up a league-leading number of 20+ yard pass plays. Picks need to come organically, if you will, out of disciplined play, not manufactured on whims. Stat heads can argue the merits of such an approach, but lack of discipline will get you eventually if you want to get through 3 or 4 quality opponents come playoff time. So, Bush can be held up to the rookies as a work-ethic example and an example of company-man-professionalism, but I would not show them any of his pass defense tape. [/QUOTE]
