90 to 75-First Round of Cuts

Recommended Posts

Normally the first round of cuts is guys who haven't played much or who have been playing at the very end of ball games.  So I wouldn't expect to see any "surprising" names this go round.  Personally I am not going to be blown away if any of the names above end up released.

that is how I assembled my list by looking at the guys who saw late action, played due to depth issues or system guys who were signed as camp bodies.

Oh I am not taking issues with your list.  I think it's fine.  Just a pre-emptive strike before someone posts something like Mike McGlynn or something.

No problem guys but sometimes it's the guys that have been in the pre-season games that will be cut.  Take the scenario of the 1st stringers, not much playing time up to now because the coaches know their abilities on the field.  Of course there's favorites among the coaches but let's not get into that, it may be the ones that are straddling the fence that you'd want to grade/evaluate.  Let's say player A, B and C and player A may be the clear cut favorite to make the team (2nd stringer) but B and C are now playing for the roster and must be evaluated.

SW1 is no talent scout. I leave that to other Forum members like Dustin, Schwamm, BrentMc11, Jay Kirk, & Lollygager8 that are better equipped to make that judgement call than I am. Nice list though PT! I only focus on guys that make me go "Wow, now that kid was born to play ball!" I know it when I see it; more instinctive vs scientific.

Thank you

 Having a coaching background and growing up with a coach and former college athlete I look at the games from that perspective.

 

 When I was in Grade School my Dad provided Color for the High School TV station broadcast of Tiger games and I served as his spotter then during high school I broke down game film and served as an extra set of eyes for the coaches.

Breaking down film & being fast & proficient at it is a huge asset & I have profound respect for meticulous and thorough attention to detail that this skill truly requires & the countless hours involved in dissecting cuts, blocks, hand placements, & breaks on the ball. I may not be a master at it like you clearly are PT, but I am good at spotting who knows what the hades they are talking about. I just shut up, listen, & try to soak up all the knowledge like a sponge. Nice work my friend!  :thmup:

I see Adongo earning a PS spot and McManus being kept around to save legs and/or contribute but I forgot about Austin.

Also from what I have seen on the forums here so far I have not seen Conners name brought up about being a potential roster cut.....With Sheppard stepping up and Loiseau stepping up I dont think Conners safe at all

Conner has been doing an ok job. He's improved his pass coverage.

I think so to but Sheppards better at that then Conner I think and from what I have noticed Loiseau is every bit as good at getting penetration into the backfield as Conner, Going to be some interesting decisions come tuesday all around

Would be surprised to see Marshay Green get cut. He looked really good last night and last week. I think he has a shot at making the 53.

Definitely don't see Sergio Brown getting cut. He brings value to ST and as a S.

    • I'm excited about our future. I think Ballard put together 2 very nice drafts in a row. Never thought we would get Latu, thought we had a better chance at Bowers. Still holding out hope for Cross, he flashes greatness than dissappears, hope he's consistent. Hope Woods takes lead in TE room. I keep writing off Granson, but he keeps impressing. Even if Richardson has a mediocre season I think the team around him could get us to 10-7. 
    • I think you understood his words in a "positive" way, but that's not what he said.   He DID NOT say that "most of you would choose to get married..."   That's your implication. Of course, only women can bring children in this world and most of the women will choose to be married and have children, but that's not exactly what he said.   He said, "doing so - while some others will go on to lead successful career in the world - will take you closer to God's Will"    Here's what he said from the transcript:    He could've said, "even if you go on to have a very successful career, and get the greatest accolades of the world, I think the most important title of a woman is :  Homemaker. And, that would take you closer to God's Will"    But, he didn't say so because he wanted to say exactly what he believes women should do and brought God into that by saying that's His Will.    I think he made a mistake of implying that women are generally excited about marriage and having kids and being a homemaker, when that's only part of a woman's life - even though that could be the most cherished and blessed part of the life.   He only looked at how that made his wife's life - his words, not his wife's words by the way - and projected that to all the women. 
    • This happens every single year and every single year people worry about the occasional unsigned rookie when we haven't even gotten into June yet.   Guys/gals... it's really a big nothing burger. Ever since the NFL introduced rookie scale contracts this has been a non-issue. Everything important in those contracts has been made non-negotiable. The negotiable things are largely minutiae - it's about schedule of payment...it's about off-set language, or language about voiding salary payments(for example - can the team void payments for suspensions and stuff like that), etc.   There are two cases I remember in the last 10 years where this has become a problem and the player has actually missed training camp practices because of it - Joey Bosa(because of schedule of payments dispute) and Roquan Smith(because of dispute about the language about voiding payments for suspensions because of play). And as you see... Both of those were top 10 picks. (i.e. more money on the line)...   Holdouts/holdins of day 2 and day 3 picks are pretty much unheard of. I personally couldn't find a single case when I looked for it.    AD seems to be taking part in both rookie mini camp and in OTAs and hasn't missed any practice, we haven't heard about any sort of dispute so far, so my assumption would be there is nothing to see here and it's all formality.    So yeah... Unless we hear there is a problem I would just assume everything is good.
