Surprised by Lawson, Lewis, Richardson, Boykin

 

The rest all make sense

Lawson, Boykin and Felton for me.

 

Not that I'm complaining about Felton because I wanted him gone last year for that matter, but they seemed so in love with him. Like they are with Powell now. He never seems to do jack but Rex loves him. Meanwhile, Boykin was one of the best cover guys they had on special teams but got no love.

 

Manny is better than McCray and Albright and can play ILB too so this is just a $ move. I think they decided that they're paying him too much not to start. We'll see how they use the cash though...

Yes , I am sure the coaching staff is not taking your cavalier attitude toward winning this year, so they keep the players who are ready to play.

You do understand that this kind of thinking - keep the player who's a bit better now, but with less upside - repeated over the course of several years is a main contributor to never moving beyond mediocrity?

So you think Whaley was just trying to save the Pegula's some money?

Also, I can't believe that they kept 6 safeties. wtf? I guess A Williams and Graham can play CB in a pinch but that's a lot of safeties.

 

A hedge in case Aaron Williams has any health issues moving forward?

I think they hope to use the savings on someone else down the road.

A lot of guys are a surprise to see make the 53. J. Lattimore, Albright, Humber, J. Meeks. C. Anderson, R. Groy (probably the worst on our 53), N. Oleary, Gronkowski. Don't think those 8 guys would make the roster of too many other teams in the league.

So, who gets cut to make room for Dareus and Shaq?

Take your pick regarding Shaq. I think they can dump anyone besides Hughes, but my money is on McCray. It's going to be tougher for Dareus. Walker is the obvious candidate but he has played great, IMO. I'd probably dump Douzable right now.

I don't get Colt Anderson AT ALL. He's the 6th safety and hasn't really shown anything that I've seen. Why?

My bet, unfortunately

I don't expect Groy to have a strong hold onto his position.

Meeks i can see

lattimore barely. Humber? rex is having a moment perhaps..

Albright will probably just get better, slowly, but better.

Anderson is a teams fav. Even i noticed him

 

Douzable and Albright

Hmm.. we shall see twentysix. 4 weeks . plenty of things can change

surprised by Annen and Walker.

 

Thought Walker would fill that true NT position and wonder if Annen's neck has them worried, hope he makes the practice squad.

is this the final cut?

I missed Walker. I had assumed that he had made the team. I thought he had a very strong preseason and there was a definite need without Dareus. It's another head scratcher for sure.

size matters

Somebody hinted at this last week but I didn't believe it.

 

Usually a team goes heavy at a position because they have talent there they can't bear to lose. That doesn't seem to be the case here.

 

Is Rex cooking up some kind of 3-safety defense that he plans to field a lot? If they're worried about AW's fragility, would it have been better to cut him?

 

I guess next to cutting Manny, keeping 6 safeties is the biggest surprise for me.

 

Man I'd love to be a fly on the wall when DW, Rex, etc. sit down to discuss these decisions.
