gobillsinytown Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 How in the goddamn !@#$in !@#$ do we release Roosevelt and keep !@#$in goddamn Martin? How did Coleman not make it? The interview I read with Gailey indicated that some of the competitions were very close and that some of the decisions were going to be hard to make. My guess.......Roosevelt and Coleman might not have graded out high enough on special teams?
bladiebla Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 Wow 2 surprises there with Martin and Eddins making the team
CBD Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 So much for the McGee cut rumor. Also sorry to see you go Levi. You blew the doors of thigpen. I hope you find success elsewhere. Minorly disappointed caussin is gone too. Like on the Bills practice squad.
cmjoyce113 Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 How in the goddamn !@#$in !@#$ do we release Roosevelt and keep !@#$in goddamn Martin? How did Coleman not make it? Martin looked good as a gunner on punts, and did well in kick coverage iirc.
truth on hold Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 (edited) Like on the Bills practice squad. Is that official for levi? Edited September 3, 2011 by Joe_the_6_pack
Matt in KC Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 Martin is definitely my biggest surprise. Roosevelt of Aiken both looked like better choices to me, though I've seen a lot less than the people making the decisions.....
Russ 'Em Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 Levi won't be on the practice squad, and roosevelt was cut because he was hurt.
Billshank Redemption Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 (edited) i hope aiken passes through waivers is coleman ps eligible Edited September 3, 2011 by letsgobills46
CBD Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 Is that official for levi? No, sorry, just speculating. Really cleaned house on the oline depth only keeping 7, you have to think they're planning on bringing in at least one swing G/T type.
John from Riverside Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 I guess Chan was not kidding abotu Eddins...... Now maybe they move Moats back to outside linebacker where he belongs? Didnt agree with cutting Naman and Colemen......but I am SOOOOO glad they realize that the backup OL on this team were crap and you know they are gonna be looking at cuts from other teams in those areas....we dont have a backup center.....Rhinhart is the swing gaurd and Hairston is the swing tackle All in all? thumbs up because even though they cut some guys that were making plays they cut loose of their offensive line dead weight....Wang, Wrotto, and Howard are AWEFUL
Billshank Redemption Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 i really just liked kamar aiken otherwise I'm cool with the wr cuts
3rdand12 Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 How in the goddamn !@#$in !@#$ do we release Roosevelt and keep !@#$in goddamn Martin? How did Coleman not make it? Nix likes to try to hide guys on the practice squad but these two may not stay very long. Yep, i like these players alot too.

They'd been playing Levitre at center in preseason games. Edited September 3, 2011 by Carey Bender
CBD Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 naaman isn't I'm pretty sure In order to be eligible for the practice squad, players must meet one of the following requirements: Have no prior Accrued Seasons in the NFL (An accrued season is six or more games on the active roster); Have one prior Accrued Season in which the player was on the 45-man active roster for no more than 8 games; If served two seasons on a practice squad, are eligible for a third season only if the team has at least 53 players on its active/inactive list for the duration of that player's employment. Roosevelt active for 6 games last year.
Russ 'Em Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 yeah naaman is. otherwise they would have IRd him. I think they really like him. Chan said that some decisions might come down to injuries.
SteamRoller67 Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 Buddy nix and chan gailey were too intrigued by Tyler thigpen's stupid sounding southern name to actually grade him in the games You do realize Chan was his OC in Kansas City, right? In 2008 Thigpen had a pretty good year running the spread offense in the NFL under Gailey's direction. The prior relationship carries some weight in NFL circles.
DCBongo Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 surprised they cut Jasper, everything else is kind of expected
The Senator Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 How in the goddamn !@#$in !@#$ do we release Roosevelt and keep !@#$in goddamn Martin? Size (6'4"/220), along with age and experience (the rest of our WRs are really a bunch of youngsters), and special teams ability. JMO, but it's what I expected - they didn't bring Martin in on Aug 24 to let him go a week later.
