From what I hear, Morris didn't call that defensive game. He allowed two of his assistants to make the defensive calls. The plan was not necessarily to win, but to evaluate the depth players. Their core DB players are set IMO, Ramsey, Rochell, Durant, Rapp, Fuller, Scott, Lake, and Yeast. Rochell, Durant and Yeast all saw limited snaps to help them develop. Rochell missed so much last year this is how they are working him back into the lineup. Live game snaps are the best way to learn.
If McCutcheon has another strong game this week he makes the roster. This would spell bad news to OBJ because with Kupp, Robinson, Jefferson, Tutu, Harris, Powell and now McCutcheon that's a loaded WR room. I see OBJ signing with Buffalo. Robinson, Kupp and McCutcheon will give Stafford a really good red zone receiving group with height, speed and hands. McCutcheon is actually faster than Robinson and even Kupp when he was a rookie. Getting separation is about route running and quickness.
People criticize Perkin's arm strength but watch that pass to McCutcheon along the sideline it was an absolute dime. With good coaching, arm strength can be improved. Perkin's play from the pocket is improving. If he has a second strong preseason, to go along with last year, he will be the #2 QB by the end of the season. Wolford is on a one year contract as is Perkins. I think they only resign Perkins and draft a developmental QB next year. They need to prepare for Stafford's arm issue which I think may only hold up for 3 years. Next year is supposed to be a good year for QBs. They would have Perkins for at least one maybe two years as their #2 and a developmental prospect behind him.
That said I still think McVay would prefer a proven vet as his QB.
