Default 9 NFL Vets Who Might Get Cut

Quote:
3. Xavier Su’a-Filo, LG, Texans

A former second-round pick, Su’a-Filo is yet to justify his lofty draft status on the field. Selected with the 33rd overall pick in 2014, the former UCLA Bruin is yet to show NFL-caliber talent. This preseason, he’s graded negatively in every game, giving up a sack and three hurries in 51 snaps. His issues in pass protection are not new, unfortunately; Su’a-Filo ranked 62nd out of 72 tackles in pass-blocking efficiency last season, giving up four sacks, seven hits, and 15 pressures over 325 snaps. Although running with the first team currently, Oday Aboushi (a late-round 2013 selection) is making a strong push for his job.
I doubt they cut him since they're so thin at OL, but boy, this is looking like a serious miss on a high draft pick.

At the time of his draft, I was kinda glad they had thought to invest in an offensive lineman but yeah, he hasn't done much so far. Not when you start thinking "we coulda had ____________". (Garoppolo sure looks good these days)

I don't think they will cut him either but this might be his last rodeo if he doesn't get it going...

No way they cut this stiff. He sucks and is another bust of course but the OL is so thin as it is that there is no way he will be cut. This year, anyway.

The injuries and illnesses and everything else that is decimating the OL are starting to piss me off.
