You have GOT to be kidding me he was one of the most disruptive DE’s in the preseason

Where's the trade for a RT?

Square peg round hole

Square peg in our crappy, non-innovative Cover 2 scheme? Not buying this at all.

Dumb move to dump Simon....oh well, maybe they can draft a stud DE with their top 3 pick next April.

Basham was straight garbage though. "Natural position" nonsense has to stop. Simon played the same position and excelled. 

Agreed unforgettably Simon is really a lB not a DE hes giving up 20 pounds at least. I like Simon a lot. but he was not a long term guy there at DE.

Dude your grasping a straws and old straws at that. You nor I were in the room with them. We don't know who lobbied for who. Grigson sucked glad hes gone, A coach might look at some tape and say he looks ok. Grigson a good talent scout nope. 

Yes we do.  We know that CP pounded the table for Green.

 

So you assume that when CP went to FSU to work out Werner, that he didn't like Werner and RG used his authority to override him.  And that choosing him over Xavier Rhodes didn't include CPs input either.?

 

You would have to believe that that RG would trust his own judgment about what players would be a better fit for the defense than CP, even though he just hired CP from the successful BALT defense in which he worked in for several years.

 

BTW, aren't all the roster releases about to be released to the press?

Respectfully, can you take this % somewhere else? Thanks!

Yeah, they were showcasing him playing him deep into 4th quarters.

That's some unreasonable extreme hate for RG going on there.

RG did and would, thats why hes gone!

Scheme fit? On what planet? If your scheme is having no pass rush, and getting gashed by RB's, then I guess we have a good scheme

[Smoke317]

We gotta be going after Kony Ealy on waivers.

The Simon cut indicates to me they have something in the waiver wire pipeline. Moves are coming.

Wishful thinking, I believe. Defensive ends who are effective pass rushers come at a premium, not on the waiver wire. Hope I am wrong, though!

Agree with the last statement!

[bananabucket]

All these horrendous "scheme" decisions are driving me up the wall.  He's gutting this defense for a scheme that sucks anyway.

Believe as a Vet he is a free agent and not subject to waivers.

It's 4 PM EST. Where is the cut list? NFL.com? No all they show is Green, Johnson and Simon. Their site has been useless so far...

That would suck.

[stitches]

I know I predicted Simon will get traded/waived when we heard we are changing schemes but damn... after training camp and pre-season I thought for sure he's staying. This makes very little sense if we want to maximize wins this season. I guess Ballard knows we are not good enough this season so priority will be the future(getting playing time to the young pass-rushers and developing them, getting even more $ for future free agency - we save 3M by cutting him)... 

 

This one was definitely a stunner.

Well he will know the offense thats good. That also means another Wr won't make the team.

[Douzer]

I think Simon would have been traded, but the injury item turned into a deal breaker.

Anderson was traded, minor technicality.

[IndyD4U]

If Simon is so good then why didn't anyone take the bait when he was on the block? Food for thought. 

 

Don't get me wrong, he was a heck of a player for us. There's more to the story.

I read somewhere else we cut Nunez-Roches too. He’s the only other u heard so far. 

[csmopar]

In the world of social media, I cannot believe we don't know all the cuts yet

[TKnight24]

@Superman @Nadine

 

Can someone post this as the OP up top so folks can see the cuts easier? I’m unable to edit the original post
