I don't get Robinson. Fox told him two years ago that, if he wanted to stick around, he would have to stop jogging around when he's returning punts and K/O's. What does he do this pre season? Yep, he was jogging again. It's a shame, because he seemed to be coming around pretty well as a WR.

most likely a WR or a LB. my short list of cuts that might be made:

....

18--- Chery, Jason--- WR

IMO I think we should keep Chery around for a little longer if possible, I feel like when I saw him in the first pre-season game that there is some potential there for him to develop into a good WR.

I think we will cut someone at LB.

Not to sound like a member of the tinfoil hat club, but part of me thinks that if it were just a standard camp fodder cut, it could have been done already. Still might be, but I wonder.

Delay could mean that it's someone they're taking longer to decide on (possible) that they're talking trade (not all that likely) or that there's an injury settlement in progress (the most likely of the bunch).

i don't know who we have that we could be working an injury settlement on. i know i hope it's salley and/or landon johnson but i don't see that being the course the team takes with them.

from what i understand they have to have sustained a serious injury that would keep them out 6 weeks or more. i know the team doctors can fudge this but they have to get 2 second opinions form outside doctors.

who else is hurt that could be out for a significant time that is a long shot for the team or who isn't likely to or shouldn't make it?

i'm asking because i don't know.

From Gantt's blog about first cuts (link):

Also out Monday were RB Decori Birmingham (head), CB Dante Wesley (head), S Nate Salley (knee), RB Jonathan Stewart (excused, personal), FS Charles Godfrey (hand) and LB Jon Beason (knee).

Stewart, Beason and Godfrey wouldn't be candidates, though Godfrey could be a possibility for IR. They might be looking at how to replace him before putting him there, but I doubt it.

Salley seems the most likely of the bunch (Brad mentioned him too) though Birmingham and Wesley are possible, with Wesley seeming less likely.

Could it still be just a run of the mill cut that's taking longer? Sure, but why would it?

yep...i think with this we are set at WR on the roster

smith

moose

jarret

moore

I'd like to throw Goodson in this mix as an X factor. Put Dwill and Jstew in the back field with Smitty and Moose flanked and Goodson in the slot. Godda get him the ball in a sneaky way....

i agree salley is the most likely candidate. he's also the one that would be most worth bothering with as far as going the injury settlement route is concerned.

i hope it's him, though.

    • Well even if we took diverging paths getting there...our overall assessment of Shough is the same (bolded) lol so I guess that's what matters.  What you call "playing at a level that looks like a veteran starter" is the same thing I'm referencing when I talk about his poise.  Although I still wonder how truly "bad" of a team the Saints are.  Their defense is middle-of-the-road, and their offense does have some good pieces (Olave, Juwan Johnson) outside of running back which is the position most everyone agrees is relatively plug-and-play.  I'm not going to pretend to know anything about the majority of NFL team's o-lines lol but I'm assuming Saints are not great there, although Shough's pressure % seems to have been quite low (and steadily improving) over the last four weeks (20 -> 16.7 -> 15.0 -> 13.0) so maybe they've been playing better as of late, or perhaps Shough himself deserves credit for that.   Some of the language I'm hearing about Shough, including talking about how he's way above league average in several categories, makes it sound like Shough is having a rookie season on par with like a CJ Stroud who established himself as basically a Top 5-10 QB his rookie season.  Maybe that's on me though, I don't mean to attribute anything to you that I'm sure you don't agree with.
    • Since your being selective (and somewhat deceptive) with your comparisons, I'll throw this up so we can compare apples to apples. Both Young and Shough have played against the Rams. Young went: 15/20 (75%) for 191 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INTs with a 147.1 QB rating Shough went: 15/24 (62.5%) for 176 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT with a 81.2 QB rating   Both Young and Shough have played against the Buccs. Young went: 21/32 (65%) for 206 yards, 2 TDs, 0 INTs with a 102.5 QB rating Shough went: 13/20 (65%) for 176 yards, 0 TD, 1 INT with a 65.4 QB rating   Both Young and Shough have played against the Falcons. Young went: 31/45 (75%) for 448 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INTs with a 123.2 rating Shough went: 30/43 (69.7%) for 243 yards, 0TD, 1 INT with a 74 QB rating   Seriously, in what world is Shough a better QB.
    • Freddie? For this game? Seriously? I don’t get it. Hope we get the best version of Freddie tonight.
