    This might mean that a guy like Wilson or Neal could be surprise cuts if they think their replacements are already on the roster. However, in Neal's case, he seems to be being classified as an OLB, and I'm not sure if any of the backups have outplayed him. Maybe Mulamba, but now he's hurt. So maybe that's his ticket this year.

    Hard to imagine them getting rid of Wilson, though. I can see them letting him walk, though. But are Boyd and Miller DE's or NT's or what?

      They are 1-gap, 3-technique tackles in a 4-3 or 2-gap spin casters in a 3-4 with an overshifted line.

        Say that stuff in a husky voice and you could run a 900 number for Packers nerds.

          Guys like that cause bad snags. Better cut 'em.
          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.

              The word "shocker" has been tossed around in here too many times without some smart-ass piping up with a visual.

              So here:

                So do the voters for Graham Harrell win because he got cut, or lose because he didn't even make it to the final cut?

                  I think we win no matter what happens because he got cut first.

                    Crosby with no votes - and now I wonder if that's because he'd be the most surprising, or if everything thought he was the most obvious?

                      Crosby had two votes. The phantom Crosby has no votes.

                      I think HArrell getting cut counts as a surprise, looking from the start of camp. Of course, there are a couple pussies who waited until last week to vote for Harrell. Such behavior is reprehensible.

                        Sure, the people who foresaw the sudden death of Graham HArrell (before the Seattle game, IMO) can do some chest pumping.

                        Of course there is still time for an extreme winner, there were write-ins for Pickett & Tramon Williams, an accidental vote for DuJuan Harris, and a drunk vote for Franklin. Could be more glory to come.
