Cuts on the Horizon

What's the deadline for final 53?

Cuts will start today even though 4pm tomorrow is the deadline.  A few reports from other teams started leaking out last night.  Most teams won't announce all their cuts at once; likely in 2-3 waves starting today.  I expect to start seeing some news shortly.

Any surprise cuts or surprise 53 man makes?  Not really a surprise, but I think Shi Smith beats out Andre Roberts--who we signed to the the PR for those duties.  Burris is on the bubble..it wouldn't shock me to see one of the younger safeties take his spot.  Walker makes the 53 until Sam is healthy, I'm pretty sure.  Jordan gets the axe.  Also I'm curious to see who gets TE3.  I think it would have been Ricci, but he's hurt.  I'm not sold on either Thompson or Sullivan...utter JAGS.

And that gives him 2 weeks to get used to his holder, timing with snap, etc.

I noticed 2 things about Zane in preseason.

1.  He seemed to be on the left upright a lot, as if he was pulling the ball.  Was his brain subconsciously trying to protect the injury when it was hardly noticeable?  

2. The injury followed a rain delay.  Was he loosened up properly?

I am on a mission to find out the truth.  I need answers!  I can handle the truth!

It was a freak injury.

"With unlimited players who could return last season, teams can only designate eight players to return from IR, including any player returning from the practice squad/injured list. Another tweak comes in how long a player must be on the Reserve/Injured List as they must miss four games when in 2021 the time was only three games."

When does the team deem a player as eligible to return and long term IR? At time of placement on the IR or whenever they want?

From the same article I linked earlier:

"Just to clarify, one item which was made permanent with the NFL several years ago was teams no longer have to designate a player to return from the Reserve/Injured List at the time they go on the list. Teams do not have to say which players are returning until they begin their 21-day window.

    • Wasn't talking about Medicare exactly.  Medicare advantage is different.  The one my mom uses is thru blue cross and blue shield.   Medicare Advantage (Part C) | Blue Cross Blue Shield (bcbs.com) My mom has been using it for about six months now.  Before she was using a medigap program run by United Health Care and it paid almost everything, but was costing her 400 a month.  The Medicare advantage plan doesn't cost anything (the premiums are actually paid by Medicare).  Now she does have copayments, some of them for for medicine, but so far, they aren't bad.  Hers also covers dental, which medicare normally doesn't cover.   I will state though that my Mom has Medicare part b (she pays for it, but gets reimbursed by the employer my stepdad retired from).  
    • Can revisit when/if Charlotte gets an MLB team. It has been discussed lately and I think Charlotte and Nashville are supposedly high on the list. 
    • Nfl leaders don't look at the population of just the city itself.  Charlotte has three of the top fifty combined statistical areas within a 1 to 1.5 hour drive.  Charlotte, Greensboro/WS/High Point, and Greenville Spartanburg.  Those three statistical areas include nearly 7 million people.  Other than Raleigh, the only one in the top fifty within an hour and half of raleigh is Greensboro.  So only about 4-5 million people.  Charlotte has many more people to draw from.   Also, many of the surrounding communities for Raleigh are not native born.  If memory serves, many still refer to Cary as Containment area for relocated Yankees.  One of the reasons the Canes do so well is a significant portion of the population are people who moved from Northern Areas.  Would that population translate into support for a NFL team?  Hard to say, but I see a tremendous amount of Giants/Jets jerseys in the triangle when I forced to endure the crazy traffic on 40/85.
