    Updated roster distribution:

    2 QB: Now 3 adding Davis

    3 RB: Now 2 minus West

    1 FB: Now 1

    4 TE: Now 4

    7 WR: Now 7

    6 OL: Now 7 adding Pasztor

    -----------

    23 --> 24

    11 DB: Now 10 with Gaines to IR (Designated Return)

    8 LB: Now 8

    8 DL: Now 8

    -----------

    27 --> 26

    That's 50 plus three ST (K, P, LS).

    New Bottom line:

    - Better balance.

    - Unless trade is brewing I doubt anything changes on D until Gaines is healthy.

    - Looks like a TE goes when a RB arrives.

      Why's no one mentioned the idea that they could cut Pryor after giving him a "tryout" in the first couple games.

        My guess would be that there are many OSU fans on this forum and from my experience, I find that fans of a particular college seem to be very protective - heck almost obsessed - of any players that came from said college.............. Just something I've seen for a year or so.

          1) Johnny was throwing a football and Pettine says he'll be ready Sunday(and will be the back up)....

          2) Pettine also said the Browns are trying to get Mayle on the PS and that still may happen.....(trying???).....so maybe its him who doesnt want us????

          apparently Mayle was asked to sign and said he had other options.....sooooo.......see ya

          I saw on Twitter that Mayle signed with the Cowgirls to be on their PS.

            Because if you are taking a chance on a talented guy learning a new position you're going to give him a full season. We already cut someone to keep him so we are committed I assume.

                  I think you see if the potential is there. The NFL is all about getting on the field in real action. Nothing else matters or will necessarily be indicative of future success.

                  We've barely seen him in a game. I'd give him 6 then reevaluate.

                      I guess they have to decide what role Bibbs has. If he is your 3rd TE than Housler expendable.

                      A RB will be added.

                        Bibbs can play and I'm excited about him long term but we may be overstating his effectiveness right now.

                          If not Housler ... who is your cut?

                            Bibbs. I thought that was implied. Given how things have gone so far, he'd probably make the PS.

                              Got to believe we sign RB. Bibbs > Housler in offensive schemes. M. Moore our 7th WR only a good ST'er at this point. Could risk MM getting to PS and drop 1 of 4 OL on PS (Miller or Ladson). Adding a player after week 1 games puts player at a 1 year lower minimum, but now is the time before players can pretty much say where they will go. Hope Farmer unlocked the money but doubt it. No more Mc Ghee's please.

                                        I think Moore stays, along with Carder and Bademosi, purely for special teams. At least, two of them stay and Carder is first up to leave.

                                          Have no problem cutting Carder either. I think Bademosi offers more at DB than either do at WR or LB
