My last cut was Agnew, wanted to keep a traditional fb and Grey, but Grey more valuable. almost cut McFadden, but I'm seeing good things from him

 

Practice squad

QB Shaw

FB Agnew

RB Crowell

WR Johnson

WR Snead

OL Salimu

DL Barnett

LB Eubanks

CB Heath

S Nelson

 

Obviously our practice squad will be much different as we pick up guys from other teams, etc, just throwing out names.

I wish they would have made some cuts already. Do we really need another round of trying to see Royce Adams...or whoever that DB was chase receivers on his wheelchair?

Lol. Luckily there are some things you can definitely tell in preseason. If I can outrun you, you don't need to be taking up anymore time with the team

I agree with the majority of this, but there is a few things I would change.

 

Lewis has problems holding onto the ball and Crowell will be snatched off the practice squad pretty quick, so I would swap those 2.

 

I think Shaw has too much potential to put on the practice squad and Grossman will be there in free agency so there is no reason to keep him on the 53.

 

Gabriel and Johnson would take the place of Armstrong and Benjamin. Benjamin is just too brittle.

 

With Gray being a hybrid FB/TE I can see us only carrying 2 traditional TEs. Flip a coin between Dray and Barnidge.

 

Aubrey has to make the 53 some how.

I took into strong consideration all of those things you mentioned other than the 2 traditional TE thing.

 

I don't buy Grey as a TE, he'll be in the backfield as a FB/H-Back, and we are going to need three real TEs for goal line stands and kick teams.

 

I want Aubrey on there too, he is a good player and special teamer. The fact that I had to "cut" a couple good players is an encouraging thing.

Ok, Ill take a stab...


..added Oby thinking he can help us more on ST, than a developmental back sitting on the bench....


..Grossman....hmmm....probably safer to cut him loose, than a potential talent like Shaw(unless CS gets a quickie injury..wink)


...not a fan of McFadden, so I look for them to pick up another CB off the waiver wire....(probably a WR too)


...and I like Aubrey/Poyer over Bademosi (has been a decent Special Teamer, but not much growth as a player, so I think his time has run out)



QB Hoyer, Manziel, Shaw


FB Grey, Oby


RB Tate, West


WR1 Gordon, Benjamin


RW2 Austin, Gabriel

Crowell


Bowie


Krause


Snead


Agnew


Pough

Aaron Berry looks good, I think that he could make the team.

 

I don't know about Dion Lewis, he better hold onto the ball. He hasn't really stood out to me this year.

 

Gabriel should make the team... or at least the practice squad.

Gotta say I agree about Lewis....think he and Baker have run their course here and will be looking for new teams soon enough.....

 

And the fumbling thing concerns me with Tate too...his history would indicate that while he gains more yards than average, he also fumbles more often.....
