Mudfly Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 Considering almost everyone is playing poorly, not sure how this first cut is gonna go....but here is my stab at who get's a pink slip today(or tomorrow maybe),,,,,,,,I "think" we have 90 on the roster, which means 15 have to go today...... OL - Mcdonald OL - Harris OL - Salimu OL - Lee TE - Ogbuehi TE - Webb RB - Crowell WR - Smith LB - McSurdy LB - Martin DL- Henderson DB - Adams DB - Nelson DB - Heath DB - Williams Farmer is PRAYING someone cuts a decent DB(CB).........soon!

miktoxic Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 Farmer is PRAYING someone cuts a decent DB(CB).........soon! really? i would think farmer feels pretty good with the depth we have in our D backfield (even though a lot of that depth is rookie players). i'd be thinking OL, OL and OL. then WR all day long. hey how about a QB?

I wouldnt disagree with that, but would say we've known all along that OL and WR need upgrades and more depth....the problem is we dont have quality "starters" .....and you rarely find starters on the waiver wire..... On the other hand, we keep hearing about the depth on defense and our great DB's.....yet, the back ups are getting completely torched....so, if we are set with starters and only need back up depth, then odds are better that the waiver wire MIGHT provide an upgrade.... So, my point was that the players we CAN get off waivers aren't likely to improve our talent at "starting" positions....like RG or Wr......BUT, we might score a few players who can at least upgrade some back up positions that are lacking depth....

Mudfly Posted August 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 I kinda thought they would try to slip him onto the PS. ......as far as I know, he hasn't shown anything but a couple brief flashes running the ball(can you say Ben Gay???)..... ...but I did see a couple of his interviews and gotta say that he came off as a little bit......um, well, stupid....... And, in the NFL, stupid means you dont really grasp or understand blocking assignments, blitz packages and complicated offensive schemes.... ...and if you can't block FIRST, that means you can't play rb in the NFL.....because you will get your QB smashed....

The Gipper Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 Remember, after next week, they have to let go of 22 more guys....but can bring 10 back to the PS. OK, who knows the rule on this: Anyone that is cut must be put on the open market on waivers, and must not be claimed on waivers by another team. ...but what is the rule on a player claimed by another team? Must that player remain on that other teams active roster? Or can they be placed on the Practice squad of another team? E.g....if say Connor Shaw is cut....and claimed by say....the Rams (since they need a QB).....would he have to remain on their 53 man squad, or could they put him on their PS right away?

Yes, thats my understanding......if you "claim" a player off waivers, then he must stay on your roster,,,,so you cannot snag players for your own practice roster...
