Who Are Our Final Cuts?

Down to 53 by 4pm est this Sat. We have a lot of hard decisions to make in the FO.

Looking at the roster, I could take a crack at the guys I've never heard of getting the axe- but I won't. The only cut I'm really interested in is if Pryor makes the final 53. He can't be stashed on Practice squad.
I do wonder why they didn't keep Shaw active, put him on the 53- and then use the IR designated to return on him. Enlighten me if there's a limit to how many players you can use that on. If it's only one, I understand their thinking. I think Shaw would be more valuable down the road than any of the other 22 hangers on that are going to get the boot.

You can only have one player per season on the IR/designated to return list if I recall correctly. I wouldn't waste it on a person who, as it stands right now, is a third-string QB. If we're in the position where we would need him this season, we're probably better off just bringing in a vet.

I heard Bowe is playing tonight....... Anyone else think this it's odd for a multi year vet to play in game 4?

Lewis just made the case for a roster drop and Pryor is making the case to keep if it really is a fight to see which survives. But since I am not at practice I don't really know the thinking involved by staff.

Can we afford to cut Thad Lewis? He was completely awful.
-
Can we afford to keep him on the roster?
with all his experience, he "plays" like THAT ? WTF ?
Pitiful. Just really, honestly pitiful.

Tough not to find a place for Jennings after his KR tour de force, but we have others who can handle the duties, and he's less likely to get picked up from the PS than Mayle, IMHO.

Gaines, Lenz and Pullard would not make it to the practice squad after what they put on tape the last month. They would make another team's 53. Don't see us cutting draft pick Pullard, real tough decisions on the other two.

Right, Gaines could beat out Poyer or Bademosi. Pullard could take Carder's slot.
Lenz, I don't know. Do you think he could beat out Mayle or Moore?

Do we really need Moore?

I think he HAS beaten out Mayle, but it is hard for the staff to cut bait with a 4th round pick.
Would love to be a fly on the wall in the receivers room, interesting decisions to be made. You have to assume Hartline, Hawk and Gabe are safe and Pet said Bowe safe too. So when you look at 5th, 6th, 7th receivers you are looking at special teamers and versatility. And I think that puts Pryor and Moore on the roster. So we are talking 7th receiver Lenz or Mayle? Somethings gotta give, thats a lot of fucking receivers.

Gaines was a 6th round pick as well. It was a toss up between Carder and Pullard, and it likely won't make a huge difference in the end who our 4th ILB is (if it does our season isn't going anywhere anyway). I'm just going on what Carder brings on ST, as well as Pettine's glowing report of him earlier in the pre-season.
Right, Gaines could beat out Poyer or Bademosi. Pullard could take Carder's slot.
Lenz, I don't know. Do you think he could beat out Mayle or Moore?
Poyer is the #3 safety IMO behind gip and whitner. Bademosi is a lock because of ST.
Do we really need Moore?
Again, a core STer, along with Bademosi. Those two aren't going anywhere.

Bowe, Hartline, Hawkins and Gabe, but also Benjamin - he's been our best WR this summer, and he looks to have his confidence back in the return game. Regardless of whether his TD was a gimme - huge lanes, no contact - it'll do wonders for his confidence. That leaves 2 or 3 spots. Mayle, like you say, is a 4th round pick, so more likely to stay on the active roster than a UDFA (who's less likely to get picked up from PS). Then one or two - Moore, for KR and being a ST gunner, isn't going anywhere. If we cut Draughn, as I have, we need Moore. That leaves maybe room for one more - could be Lenz, though he's been decent, but not *spectacular*. More likely would be Jennings given his KR prowess. Both would likely end up on the PS. Pryor is the odd man out - either cut him or keep him, no PS (I believe). In this scenario we keep him, but I could swap him out for Jennings.

Yep. Three months ago everyone had him cut without question, now he's looking at being #2 or #3 receiver.
