The rams coach.  That would be the other coach

That makes sense....

I'm just saying that when our GM, coach and Owner say they don't know..if Andrew can play week one

 

,..they're either lying though their teeth or its very close and  they actually might not know

.......and that aspect worked....because nobody played anybody they really valued (except the Bears..who played Mitch Trubisky?)

...but this cut down freanzy..might be something GMs want to change going forward.

Its almost like draft day

The one way to get around it is to expand the regular seasons rosters

Didn't there used to be 3 cuts?

 

..I think it changes because how can a cut player show what he can do to a new team unless he gets one game to play for them.

 

It may all change if they cut the number of pre-season games, though

 

I think there used to be 3 cuts when you and I were kids and the pre-season was 6 games and not 4.

 

But I believe aht since the pre-season went to 5 games (whenever that was)  the cuts have been two until this year.

FULL LIST RELEASED

He's a long term project

I watched Brissett in the last NE game. He had a very big day. Led a last minute drive to a field goal that should have won the game.

In one play, he was Ben-like shaking off rushers to get a pass off. The commentators all marveled at how he did it. With our OL, that may come in handy. I'm sorry to lose Dorsett but we will be happy with Brisett.

Does this we have a DT signing soon

[Jackie Daytona]

I was very confident he'd be kept, but glad they are giving Clark another year at OT nonetheless......

but we have Andrew.....he's a backup at best.

Best case scenario..he never plays

[IndyScribe]

Didn't think McGill would get cut. Does anyone think a trade is going to be made? 

 

When can we find out about waiver claims?

[chad72]

Both McGill and Barry being waived means that we are probably going to be signing someone in free agency directly to our 53,not necessarily to the defensive tackle position. There is probably a good chance that TJ Ward could be signed to our 53, I'm speculating.

[MTC]

Jeremiah George made the 53 over Sean Spence. I'm confused.

Big surprise for me with McGill.

OR they really, really like Stewart.

Doesn't regular season PUP list mean Geathers is lost to the team for the entire season?

 

Anyone?        Anyone at all?

Doesn't confuse me. George was available, and he made the most of his opportunities. That is not to say he will stick, but he earned it. 

[Dingus McGirt]

Isn't it 6 weeks?

He's the back-up when Andrew is playing.

 

But when Anderw is not playing,  he's likely the starter.       He started for NE last year.     And did so on short notice and little practice. 

 

That's what we will do with him,  possibly as soon as week 1,  but no later than wk 2.

No, he's out 6 games. He can play after that

[TKnight24]

 

[IndyScribe]

When can we find out if we've claimed a player off of waivers?

Special teams play and availability 

[CheezyColt]

Not sure what TY McGill did to get cut. I've seen he's been undisciplined but he can get into the backfield somewhat consistently.

I think there is no chance that Jacoby Brissett...who isn't even here yet..and knows none our players, coaches  or play concepts....starts Sept. 17

Unless it's publicized by the player or the agent,  then I think we find out officially tomorrow --- Sunday, 9/3.

Ballard is no different, he leans towards the guys he brought in.

so true...

 

Wow..6 pre-season games.....That was a long walk down a dark, dusty road

Question:

 

Would you agree that we likely could've traded Dorsett for a 4th or 5th round draft pick?     I don't think that's unreasonable.

 

Why would we trade him then and get no draft pick in return for a QB that you don't think will start in two weeks?

 

I think we traded for him because we want and need him as soon as we can get him up to speed.      That's the only thing that makes sense to me.

Follow-up....

 

Remember what Chud did with Freeman and Lindley with roughly 3-4 days on the last week of the 2015 season.    We won the last game of the seaso with those two.

 

He can do more with Brissett.

Who are you thinking about? TJ Bray and Clark reported to be on the bubble are here none are his guys. He cut Spence Howard JoJo bubble guys he brought in. I don't see a lot of surprises besides McGill but he couldn't get on the field before this year There's something there we don't get to see

I do..

....I just think those are other players..and it was the end of the year when everybody knew their assigments.

Hey, Tolzien could get crushed in the first quarter next Sunday and the Brissett is in there...immediately

It could happen....
