Next Cut Predictions

Why? I know he's a special teams guy, but Cash appeared to do well in STs in the games so far and I think Cash appears to have legitimate LB upside as well. What does he do that can't be replaced? Honest question.

Just about everyone CAN be replaced, particularly our backups. With that being said, maybe you saw something in the past 3 games that I didn't. With so little reps, I'm always inclined to take the undrafted guy who's been on two playoff rosters with us over the undrafted guy who's played in a couple of preseason games. 

I've watched the last two games in bars, much to my distaste. I may have completely missed a big play or two by Cash.

I believe these next players will be Cut. Yes I know it leaves us with 63, I am counting players on the PS also.

Hawkins

Rigsbee

Larsen

Norris

Ben Jacobs

Dixon

Simmons

Young

Delaire

Crume

Miley

Unless we bring in a DE I would be surprised to see the prince of delaire cut

I reviewed the roster tonight, and I came up with what I think are 46 - 48 locks.   My list of locks includes 6 WRs (with Byrd & Bersin making it), and 6 LBs, with Cash making it..., of course 1 or 2 of those could get sent to the PS... we'll see.

Here's the list of those I feel confident will make the 53, in alphabetical order:

  • Addison, Mario   DE
  • Anderson, Derek   QB
  • Artis-Payne, Cameron   RB
  • Benjamin, Kelvin   WR
  • Benwikere, Bene   CB
  • Bersin, Brenton   WR
  • Boston, Tre   S
  • Bradberry, James   CB
  • Brown, Philly   WR
  • Butler, Vernon   DT
  • Byrd, Damiere   WR
  • Cash, Jeremy   LB
  • Coleman, Kurt   S
  • Davis, Thomas   LB
  • Dickson, Ed   TE
  • Ealy, Kony   DE
  • Funchess, Devin   WR
  • Gano, Graham   K
  • Ginn, Jr., Ted   WR
  • Gradkowski, Gino   C
  • Horton, Wes   DE
  • Jansen, J.J.   LS
  • Johnson, Charles   DE
  • Jones, Colin   S
  • Kalil, Ryan   C
  • Klein, A.J.   LB
  • Kuechly, Luke   LB
  • Lee, Andy   P
  • Lotulelei, Star   DT
  • Mayo, David   LB
  • McClain, Robert   CB
  • Newton, Cam   QB
  • Norwell, Andrew   G
  • Oher, Michael   T
  • Olsen, Greg   TE
  • Remmers, Mike   T
  • Sanchez, Zack   CB
  • Scott, Chris   G
  • Short, Kawann   DT
  • Soliai, Paul   DT
  • Stewart, Jonathan   RB
  • Thompson, Shaq   LB
  • Tolbert, Mike   FB
  • Turner, Trai   G
  • Webb, Joe   QB
  • Whittaker, Fozzy   RB
  • Williams, Daryl   T
  • Worley, Daryl   CB

 

By position and unit that shapes up as follows:

C 2   OFF 23
CB 5   DEF 22
DE 4   ST 3
DT 4     48
FB 1      
G 3      
K 1      
LB 6      
LS 1      
P 1      
QB 3      
RB 3      
S 3      
T 3      
TE 2      
WR 6      
  48      

 

So, 5 positions are open for the 53. 

While I know DG says he doesn't play the "we need 2 of those, and 3 of these position players" game, obviously some positions above are too thin.

We need another safety, another TE, another O-line (G or T); another D-line. 

My guess is that these will be:the 4 players in those positions:

  • Simonson, Scott   TE
  • Hawkins, Donald   T
  • Love, Kyle    DT  (or possibly a free agent DE instead)
  • Free Agent Safety   S

 

That leaves 1 remaining roster spot.  I see 3-4 guys at different positions battling for this final spot on the 53.  For now, given his ST play, my money is on Wegher:

  • Brandon Wegher,  RB
  • Ben Jacobs,  LB
  • Marcus Lucas,  TE
  • and maybe Lou Young,  CB.

(If healthy, Dean Marlowe would be included in this group battling for #53.  Given his injury, I've got him on the PS list, below)

Here are guys I think could make the practice squad (note, I've not verified eligibility), who would likely be joined by 2 or 3 of the guys battling for #53 on the roster.

Delaire, Ryan   DE
Crume, Eric   DT
Yankey, David   G
Blechen, Brian   LB
Marlowe, Dean   S
Sandland, Beau   TE
Garrett, Keyarris   WR

 

That leaves the following players as cuts (perhaps some might make the IR if injured...)

Ball, Marcus   S
Dixon, Travell   S
Larsen, Tyler   G
Miley, Arthur   DE
Norris, Jared   LB
Norwood, Kevin   WR
Rigsbee, Jordan   T
Simmons, Jalen   RB
Thomas, Robert   DT
Wallace, Eric   TE
Webster, Larry   DE
Williams, Teddy   CB

This should be its own thread.  Fantastic job.

    • Everyone knew the catch was secured and didn't move. That was clear to the entire audience. The only ones who thought it wasn't a catch were in the NYC home office. They knew they'd just offer an apology the next day.
    • NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing. 
    • The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.
