What a mess Hyman turned out to be 

I bet he's all torn up about it.

Yeah Hyman really busted himself up for the team. I hope they didn't pound him too hard out there.

I’m sure the trainers were on top of it…

I'd say David Moore is ass close to a lock as you can get without actually being one, which only leaves 1 WR in this scenario. I'd say Saunders. He plays ST, and is a back up RB. I haven't seen poo out of Bayless and Zylstra in the preseason games, so Kirkwood may actually have a shot if we keep 7.

Hyman did get popped every time he saw any action!

David Moore is a lock because of his contract.  He's nothing special and I suspect that he'll be the #5 guy once Shi Smith gets his NFL trial by fire games under his belt.  Right now he's got that #4 WR spot over the rookie.  Kirkwood makes no sense to keep, there's zero cap hit and we have younger guys with more potential to groom.  Bayless can be stashed on the PS, nobody is clamoring for his services.

The tough one is Zylstra.  He can return kicks and has a knack for getting open.  USUALLY he has reliable hands, but Friday night he had butter fingers.  He's 50/50 to make the last WR spot and that is if they don't reserve the #6 position for Cannon.

yeah, the lack of ANY reliable camp coverage makes it tough to call. Zylstra looked Ok last year, but IMO has all but disappeared since. I think its a moot point anyway since we very likely only keep 6. Also, I confused Saunders and Cannon. Cannon is the WR/RB/ST guy I meant to say made the team.

FWIW (not much until tomorrow), I just checked and Kirkwood is listed above Bayless and Zylstra on the depth chart.

Saunders goes to the PS.  He got a lot of looks with the backups, but is going to be just a developmental guy.  No need to burn a roster spot on the 53 man squad for that.  It sounds like Rhule is really high on Cannon, but what spot does he take, a RB or WR?  If we don't bring in a FB, he can be the #4 RB, but if we do pick up a FB then we will not carry five (RB/FB).  If that does happen, you would think a WR spot has to be dropped.

I imagine some cuts will come later this afternoon...the easy decisions.  The bubble cuts will be tomorrow.

I think Moore was terrible even when he did punt returns the other night. But either the contract they gave him he will probably make the team. Please don’t use him at KR or PR he looks slow.
