Here comes the cuts

[bobblehead]

Eh. Size wasn't the determining factor for him, though it obviously wasn't an advantage. McGinn mentioned in his rookie camp that he was obviously better at blocking than Taylor and occasionally Finley, having had to do traditional in-line blocking in college. So his improvement there was no surprise.

What killed his chances was the inability to bring his practice hands to an actual game.

Agreed, however, I think guys who are smallish really have to make plays to make rosters. I like Harris, but said many times I thought they would cut him, but he made enough plays to be worthy.

TE's need size for 2 reasons, blocking being only one. They also use their bodies to shield out defenders and make big targets. If they are small, JJones does it just as well and is much faster.

Anybody get a second source on Alex Green?

And do Ryan Taylor's ST skills count more than Mulligan's blocking, then?

And where's raw-as-a-cracked-egg Brandon Smith's name? Don't tell me that dude will make the 53 over Tyrone Walker or Alex Green.

If it comes down to special teams, as it sometimes does, he might. He certainly has more physical ability as a gunner than the other 2.

Agreed. Without stellar hands and playmaking ability, he wasn't going to dominate in any other area.

Everything has to done in 15 minutes. Not that we'll necessarily know in 15 minutes.

How many DL and DBs are left?

Raji, Pickett, Jones, Wilson, Jolly, Daniels Miller, Boyd, Neal*

Tramontana, Shields, Hyde, Hayward, House, Bush, Burnett, Banjo, McMillan, Jennings, Smith


Am I missing someone? If Packer Reports has the count right, we know all but 3 cuts. So three have to come from those.

Matthews, Perry, Mulumba, Palmer, Neal*, Hawk, Jones, Francois, Lattimore, Barrington

OK, one of three remaining could come from LBs. That would be 26 on D if 3 cuts are from here.

Forgot Daniels.

Thanks and corrected.

Lane Taylor and Van Roten going to both make it?

[Harlan Huckleby]

God. Two worthless players, IMO

[wist43]

Jolly better not get cut... even though Mr. Spraypaintedhair only plays 2 DL at a time, Jolly proved he still has it.

When Capers is fired, whoever inherits the D will need Jolly.

We need Bedard out there with his binoculars trying to sort out the last cuts.
