Something Different / Cut the team to 75

I see a few 53 man roster threads here and there but the truth of it is , you don't really get a more clear indication until the team gets smaller and people get more reps so ..

Cut this team to 75 players.

for a more attractive version of the roster..

The thing about projecting a 75 man roster is that you know there are still quite a few guys left after the first cut that have no chance of making the final roster.

And even as closely as I follow the team, I couldn't begin to discern the difference in playing ability between a guy whose 4th, 5th, or 6th on the depth chart for the most part.

I think David Gettis will be put or IR the first roster cuts (that is the first time the team can) to get down one roster spot.

I also expect the team will bring in a guy or two cut in the first round of cuts from another team. The roster is usually very fluid between the time of first cuts until a couple of days after final cuts as teams are rounding out their final roster.

But as an exercise, I could speculate these 15 guys will get cut first. This is based on nothing more than I don't know who they are/ I haven't heard anything positive about them...

MB1234, you can take Gettis off too, wasn't he put on IR?

I wish we had Kunalic years ago when Kasay attempted that 60 yarder to get into the playoffs.
