<![CDATA[Cuts and Pickups Thread]]> Starting this thread this morning,  as I think before too long....as early as this afternoon, the cuts will begin.  And what is the deadline for getting down to the 53?   Saturday at 4:00 I believe.   I know that it means that it could be as many as 35 guys currently on the roster that will have The Turk after them.   In fact, expect more than that, because it would not surprise me if that final 53 includes like 5 guys not currently on the roster, but who have been picked up after being cut by other teams.  So here we go....

Yup... you can't teach athleticism or technique to a bag of rocks.

They are certainly paying him now like a very big IF. Over $15mil for the next two years with almost $6.5mil guaranteed. And the other poster is correct, he is now an OG.

do also..we cut the new back-up center Neary, so maybe Corbett slides to back-up Center, Joel back to LG & they roll with Harrison at LT?   

Me thinks you are on to something.

Robinson is the Swing tackle, he'll back up both sides

Watford is a Guard/Tackle, never played center.

So ... grooming Corbett to back up C/G

If Corbett was starting at G, your backup would be two Tackles and a G/T who has never played center ...

I'm getting the feeling Harrison is our LT.

Here is what would piss me off the most on Cam Erving. If that SOB turns into one of the best LT's in the NFL and our OL continues to get QB's sacked regularly, then I will know that the real solution was to send Coach "Maserati" on a long drive elsewhere. So far I have been somewhat underwhelmed.
