I’m honestly most excited about Hardy and Couch. I think both showed a lot of potential at Defensive back in the preseason.
Im a fan of Gouriage and he has a chance to make next years roster with further development.

Agreed where’s the Denver kid?
just shooting into the dark but maybe they are going to IR someone and promote one of the practice squad guys to the 53 opening a spot for him, that or one party changed their minds-

I don't think so this year. They got a pretty tough schedule. I don't see them over .500.
They find a way like a roach-

It doesn’t matter somehow the Steelers will finish 9-8 and make it as the 7 seed

Their the same at QB
Better at RB
Worse at WR
Better at TE slightly because Kincaid is in his 2nd year
OL is a wash. Like the backups this year tho
DL is worse unless Miller returns to form
LB is worse when it comes to depth
CBs- Better
S- Worse
Specialists- Same

Okay no one was claimed so we are safe to build our PS as we'd like.
So all of that hubbub about guys and no one gets claimed nor do we claim anyone. Doesn’t mean we didn’t try tho -

People loved Wildgoose for his name, not his play. I don’t remember him being in the notes almost daily for plays he was making in camp, nor do I remember folks thinking we cut someone who could’ve been a real contributor.
he got cut so there is still hope for those people -

Toohill is DE6 actually. Groot, Von, AJE, Smoot, Solomon, Toohill.
I agree Toohill over Hardy makes no sense as a decision. But if he is hurt it comes down to Evans over Hardy. Which also makes no sense to me.
I wonder if they had plans to keep Evans over Johnson as the 3 but not sure that is still worth IRing a guy for 4 weeks. Just sign him when he’s healthy again.-

yes I know , i just wanted to know if anyone had heard anything early.
You typically won’t. They, if I recall, send out a press release from the NFL with all claims and best reporters won’t know either because there could be multiple teams putting in claims . Only vested veterans can sign to the PS right now -
I think the hope is that they can slip Hardy on the PS. We’ll see in a half hour if that is true or not.
They prob felt that if he wasn’t worth keeping as a PR guy, that he had no spot rn because he’s not good enough to see the field as a CB
I would have tried to trade a DB at the deadline to squeeze him in like a Hamlin or Lewis but the S position isn’t settled because of injuries so that would be hard to do.
I also wonder if they weren’t shy about letting him go because if they do lose him they have another promising DB in Couch that they could get on the PS easier.

QB- Mike White (1)
RB- Frank Gore Jr, Dillon Johnson (Carolina) or Cody Schrader(49ers) (2)
WR- Tyrell Shavers, Deon Cain, Danny Gray (49ers) (3)
TE- Tre McKitty (1)
OL- Gouriage, Clayton (Exempt), Ja'Tyre Carter (Chicago) (3)
DE- Viliami Fehoko (Cowboys) (1)
DT- Eli Ankou, Branson Deen (2)
LB- Andre Smith Jr. (1)
CB- Hardy, Couch (2)
S- Kendall Williamson (1)
That would be how I'd like to see it. Obviously wont but with what has been out there in the cut world.

I agree with Ryan, he was playing at the bottom of the depth chart but at least I noticed him making plays. Had a couple close sacks and seemed to have decent movement skills.

He'd be a Practice Squad guy. Trubisky isn't going anywhere on the contract they signed him to. Bad Pre-Season with a closed playbook changes nothing. They knew who he was when they signed him.
Edit: Just noticed they did sign him to the PS.
But Trubisky wont be ready for a couple of weeks so instead of Dinucci being the backup, Mike White will be the backup QB. Its still a good move to get a veteran QB on the PS instead of relying solely on Dinucci in case the PS QB has to play.

Wouldn't a better question be about MVS? I would love to see us bring in Noah Brown, even if it meant it resulted in cutting MVS. And if they insist on keeping MVS if they brought in Brown, I am sure they can find a cut somewhere else if they want to keep Anderseen on the 53 given our lack of depth at LB.
Nope that’s not the name of the game. This is hypothetical obviously……or is it? -

Have you even tried to research Brandon's ability in the return game?
Brandon is not the CB as Hardy, but it's not a dramatic difference. We didn't have the next coming of Revis Island.
Brandon will impact every game with his return skills, more so than Hardy would have.
Just wait and see, then come back to own this
To be fair we have no idea how good Hardy can be as a CB given time. No one expected Benford or Dane Jackson to start for us when they were drafted -
I kind of want to take a poll on this. How many people would be in favor of a guy like Brown if it meant that Andreessen was the guy coming off the 53

he took a pay cut this offseason
You don’t do that man. That’s terrible business and players will remember that. If a guy takes a paycut and is your # 2 TE you don’t do them dirty and turn around and trade them-

The only thing I can think of when it comes to keeping Evans is they were going to keep him over Johnson as the RB# 3 until he got hurt.
From last year it does seem to be that Brady likes utilizing his backs in pass routes so maybe in that regard Evans is a better fit that Johnson be maybe you see some of these RBs in a tight slot or F position during the season, Splitbacks etc.
It’s obvious Hardy is seriously injured but did they not like him enough to IR him for the season? That’s where I’m miffed on that one.
Morris and Trubisky must only need a week or two or he’s good to go not to IR them.
If we were planning on keeping Toohill I’d be interested to see who’s out on waivers. I had mentioned Viliami Fehoko but don’t think he makes it down to our waiver position.
I don’t know if this roster is entirely settled at the moment and expect a few call ups to cover injury risk against the Cards

Toohill and Morrow are the WTFs there. I had Jonathan and Davidson making it. The Hardy for trade returner makes sense but why not IR Hardy if he is hurt. Instead we are protecting Darrynton Evans??
You can hate Morrow all you want but he’s an average player who is a veteran and has played real NFL games before with STs value.
I tried telling you this when discussing the 53. They don’t feel comfortable having to put in Ulofoshio and Andreessen into a game and Spector is hurt hence why Morrow was kept around.
Toohill I agree with you on idk what that is.
Hardy must have a handshake deal or something but why not roster him by cutting Ferguson then IR him for the year

If we're truly heavy at DB and thin at WR, it just means some happy DB who made the "final" roster is going to be heartbroken tomorrow when he's cut and replaced by a FA WR.
I think they’re going to wait until everyone is healthy and then trade one of the safeties. You almost have to. At some point Hardy(unless out for the season) is going to make 12 DBs.-

I'm rooting for UGA alum McKitty.
What does it say about the Bills that they have more UBV alums than UGA alums?
I think Buffalo likes blue collar guys that don’t have character concerns. I know your a UGA fan but what the hell is going on down there national championships notwithstanding -
As I stated in various other threads, if he was going to make the team imo they had to keep 6 and they did.
Congrats to the local kid, hope he becomes a STs demon and develops at LB

I already updated with McKitty. What about Keaton Bills and Te'Cory Couch. I assume they have been cut, but I don't think I've seen it "officially"
Yea more names. I only think McKitty has a shot here to actually make it. I think he’s a better fit than Davidson-

So who do we know that has been cut? (25)
OL - Britton, Mike Edwards, Gouraige, Jarvis,
RB - Gore
WR - Hamler, Shorter, Isabella, Shavers, X Johnson, Byrd
QB - DiNucci, Brown
DL - Stevenson, Jonathan, Cline, Deen, Ankou, Bothroyd
LB - D Jones, Simon
CB - Lovely, K Brown
S - Jackson, Williamson,
Season ending IR (2)
S - Delaney, Burgess
Add
KR - Codrington
So it looks like all the draft picks made the team (except the Int Development player). All 3 UB alums, Ingram, Lewis and Andreessen. Not sure about Collins and Clapp.
Roster
Offense:
QB (2) - Allen, Trubisky
RB/FB (5) - Cook, Davis, Johnson, Gilliam and Evans (IR?)
WR (5) - Shakir, Samuel, Coleman, Hollins, MVS
TE (4) - Kincaid, Knox, Morris (IR), Davidson
OL (10) - Brown, Torrence, McGovern, D Edwards, Dawkins, SVPG, Van Denmark, Anderson, Grable, & Clapp (Collins?)
Specialists (4) Bass, Martin, Ferguson and Codrington
Defense
DE (5) - Miller, Rousseau, Epenesa, Smoot & Solomon
DT (5) - Oliver, A Johnson, D Jones, Carter, D Williams
LB (7) - Milano (IR), Williams, Benard, Spector, Morrow & Andreessen
CB (6) - Benford, Douglas, T Johnson, Elam, Ingram & Hardy (IR)
S (5) - Rapp, Hamlin, Bishop, Mike Edwards & Lewis
That's 58 with at least 3 IR candidates
McKitty hasn’t been let go either yet, Deon Cain technically hasn’t either, and you have 7 but didn’t put down Ulofoshio

He was covering the Steelers starters in game 2 and he had reps against the Panthers 1s. It seems they were less impressed with his DB play than fans were. Add in the # of DVs they kept and you see the reasoning
