    Going, Going......................

    Ok, how about a thread on who is going to get cut.

    My guesses:

    DeShawn Wynn: Morency is looking good, wynn is hurt again.

    Jarret Bush: He just isn't getting it. I only see 3 NFL corners on our roster, Lee and blackman are still questions.

    Orrin Thompson/Tony Moll: We'll go with youth and these two aren't NFL caliber.

    Brohm (to 3rd string): The game looks too fast for him, but flynn looks suprisingly comfortable.

    Tracy White: Its just a numbers game and the younger Bishop is cheaper on special teams.

    I know these aren't big surprises at this point of camp, but its just my assessment of how things are shaping up.

      Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.

        Chillar is starting in place of Hawk. He can also play all three LB positions. I'd be surprised if he was cut. The guy is learning a new system, so I'd cut him some slack for some early struggles.

          I doubt that they are concerned about the 200K that differentiates these guys and while younger, Bishop still isn't nearly as active or effective on ST. Bishop's still riding the reputation he gained last season with those 2 or 3 big hits.

                  He tends to get down the field nicely on screens. I'm sure it has something to do with letting his guy run past him being part of the play, but it's something.

                    And yet he's still more valuable than Sitton or Giacomini. He will play a Tackle position, he's seriously out of position at Guard, and no matter how much you all hate him, he's a tackle. All of his techniques at guard are that of a tackle. He struggles at Tackle because he hasn't gotten the reps there, and hasn't focused there.

                      getting cut - Chris Frances, Wynn, Bush, Smith (WR), even though it pains me, Kregg Lumpkin (my blackhorse to make the team), Tony Moll, Orin Thompson

                      that's what I got for now.

                        He and the rest of the line were coming together pretty well at the end of last season. Continuity is a big part of a good line. IMO they should just go back to the line they were using last season, including Colledge at guard. The longer he plays that position and the longer those 5 guys play together as a unit the better that line will be. The problem right now is that MM isn't just making a decision and riding with it. He keeps shuffling people around on the line and wondering why it isn't working. Hmm... I'm no expert, but I have a pretty good guess.

                          as a former OL player, and a current OL coach, could not AGREE any more than that statement. familiarity is so big for OL guys. I do think Barbre will end up being a stud, personally, for us, so I wouldn't mind seeing him crack the starting lineup, but I do think our OL did come on late last year, and continuation is big.

                            MM seems to be ate up about getting Sitton in there at RG.

                            I like Colledge at tackle. He was a tackle in school and is much more comfortable there than at guard. In fact, the first rough time I've seen him have playing tackle was Saturday. He got whipped on an inside spin move by the SF RDE. That was defintely a case of lack of reps..

                            I really like Barbre, but he's fallen out of favor this summer due to the "play Sitton at all costs" program. I'd like to see them play Barbre at LG, let Sptz play RG.

                            Fouling all this up is Wells situation. He joined the rest of the Oline in playing poorly Saturday. He might be hurt worse than they are letting on. if Wells is hurting, play Spitz at C, Sitton at RG and Barbre at LG. Sitton is a gook kid, but he has times when he just goes on his nose for no reason. Actually, the reason is... he's a rookie.

                            Continuity has to come into play here. We've got to get a set line-up and give 'em reps.

                              that's what I got for now.
                              An Old School idea: Make Lumpy a FB and run both him and Grant in the same backfield.
                              One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.
