The Day of the Executioner

Good riddance to Turner. As for White, I'm genuinely sorry it didn't work out, as his fatal flaw was being overdrafted.

 

he meant hes black.....

 

Only Rb that should be of interest is Stefan Logan.

 

is he still a steeler ?

 

With about 3 hour to go he is, if the name Antonio Brown shows up on the waiver wire they decided to keep him.

 

I keep telling you not to count on acquiring players that are on someone else's roster.

 

Not counting on anything Bro, he would be a nice "get" though.

 

I don't think Hilliard gets cut for Logan, especially not after Carroll's strong showing on returns in the preseason.

 

Difference being Logan has proven he can perform in that role.

Eh, mere speculation, nothing more.

So who else is on the bubble?

Nalbone
Lumbala
Hobbs
Weaver
Ness
Grove
Folsom
Moses
McCoy
Baker
Proctor
Amaya

anyone else?

 

With his salary, Grant is as much on the bubble as Baker. Johnson has to be on the bubble at ILB. Murtha should be in the bubble too.

 

Dotson being released means Grant made the team.

Johnson could be, but as long as Crowder is out he should make the opening day roster

Murtha is the only back up Left Tackle on the roster with Andrew Gardner waived and he has practiced at both RT and LT.

 

I think you're underestimating the "he's our guy/we coached him in Dallas" mentality.

 

Not so much Des, they could have had Crayton for a give away price and passed.

 

Hobbs is gone says Bernadino

 

And then there were 9..

Proctor could stick if McQuistan is viewed as the top backup, that means he becomes the #2 Center and Grove is pink slipped.

 

That'd be 11 cuts so far I believe. I think we were at 75 with the acquisition of McQuistan, so we still have 11 to go then right?

 

Im I crazy to be sad to see Thomas go? Or just havent been around for too long

 

74, Haynos and Thomas subtracted, McQuistan was added.

10?

 

another wasted 2nd rounder, and a wasted 3rd rounder. Didn't even last more than a season.

 

Everyone was hyped on him during the 08 preseason.

 

mr. irrelevant WR Tim Toone cut by the lions, here is 1 return guy

 

It was either 74 or 75 with McQuistan.

Either way we have at least 10 cuts left I think.

 

Off the top of my head:

1 White
2 Turner
3 Dotson
4 Thomas
5. Gardner
6. Hobbs
7. Spitler
8. Stanley
9. Hartline
10 Walden

 

Which means MJ and Grant have made it

11. Folsom
12. Baker

Bubble guys left:

 

1. QB Pat White
2. WR Patrick Turner
3. WR Julius Pruitt (going to PS)
4. C Andrew Hartline
5. OT Andrew Gardner
6. OG Donald Thomas
7. DE Lionel Dotson
8. DT Montavious Stanley
9. ILB Austin Spitler
10. OLB Erik Walden
11. CB Kelvin Hobbs
edit:
12. DT Ryan Baker
13. ILB JD Folsom

(I'd say Johnson's chances are pretty good now)

 

TJ's been cut now....let the speculation and new thread starting begin.

 

Folsom and Baker now too says Darlington

 

Bubble guys left:

Nalbone
Lumbala
Hobbs
Weaver
Ness
Grove
Folsom
Moses
McCoy
Baker
Proctor
Amaya

With 10 cuts to go, or 9?

Sooner or later the Db's will start being waived.

 

Only 8 left if we were at 74.

 

Dude is 33 with a 7 million dollar contract.

 

Moore and Wallace had better not get comfy on the roster:

And he is an ace special teamer.

 

Sparano's conference explaining the cuts has been moved to 3 PM tomorrow, per Jeff Darlington.

 

Well, have to figure

Weaver, Amaya, Ness, are likely to be waived.

Down to 5..

Fascinating that Nalbone and Lumbala are still there.

 

Keeping 5 safeties wouldn't be unheard of, and Amaya looked promising.

It also wouldn't be crazy for Ness to stick as he showed a lot too.

I'm not writing either off yet, though I'd say their chances are slim.

 

Dline unit has taken shape:

Great depth, I'd guess Grant is the #7 dlinemen?

 

That'd be my guess.

 

I would rather keep Lumbala (I know not a true TE) and cut nalbone...I believe Lumbala can do more for us....I know we can keep both, but I think if the '53rd' guy will be a DB as we have so much uncertainty there...

 

I am not a fan of John Nalbone, to me a Te who is a receiver has to have a good instinct for finding the soft spots in coverages, Nalbone doesn't have that instinct and he apparently is not a good blocker.

Whether Lumbala makes it or not, I'd prefer not to see too much more of John "the fish" Nalbone.
