The 53 man roster, as it stands 8/31/14

Claim Lache Seastrunk and send Darkwa or Williams to the PS!

Though pretty surprised how many UDFA made it to the final cut.

6 udfas! Is that close to or above the NFL average?

That's a good looking roster.

I'd say it is well above the league average. They mentioned during the game the other night, how many UDFAs made it league wide last year, and seems like the number was about an average of 1.5 per team.

it's probably pretty standard for a newly minted GM.

Using the Mayberry type names for the LBs, I see. :shifty:

Barry Jackson said Pouncey will be on the 53.

Looks like a week 4 return.

Who's the 6th that I'm missing?

Anthony Johnson and McCain on defense. Darkwa, Williams, and Hoskins on offense.

This is the first time I remember, that the team and I are on the exact same page cut-wise.

Yes, I'm aware that's probably a terrible sign for the season, so shut up.

New GM, new offense, new OC. But still, it is surprising the number that made it to the final roster.

Sounds like a Tight end will be added in the near future.
Hopefully they consider adding a safety with some experience too. Major Wright could be had for a song and he has over 40 NFL starts and can play special teams..

The other Williams no?

I dunno. As near as I can tell, all 6 who made it, totally earned it. I doubt Hickey kept extra UDFAs in an attempt to make himself look good. :)

I think he's a FA (from Titans maybe)

I did it just for you because I knew you were checking my spelling on every one :lol:

Who's the 6th then? Michael Thomas being counted?

I count 5 too. Unless you want to count Kamal going on to IR.

Maybe he was counting Kamal Johnson :tongue2:

Our D line is so nasty. So so nasty.

:confused2:

Yes, the 6th is K. Johnson on the IR. He's still a Dolphin, he wasn't waived/injured.

Pouncey activated off PUP

This is the first time in years I feel like they really got it right in terms of who they kept and cut.

Good decision-making gives me hope, for some reason.

Hope it keeps up!!!
