Title: Getting Down to the 53-man Roster
Post by: PoopyfaceMcGee on July 30, 2010, 08:52:53 AM
So, there has already been a semi-surprise cut in Alex Hall, who will probably have 42 sacks for the Giants this year.

Who else goes and stays?

QB - Set unless Vick shoots somebody.  Then they sign Jeff Garcia.
RB - Do Martell Mallett and Eldra Buckley have a chance to beat out Charles Scott?  Would the team cut Mike Bell to go with youth?
TE - Even the 4th guy (Rucker) is supposed to be capable, but the team will obviously keep no more than 3.  Will HOF Ingram stay healthy and make it?
WR - Would the team cut Mr. Kendra Wilkinson if they like the young guys enough?
OL - Christ, I don't think they have enough guys worthy of making this team.  Do they only keep 7, and maybe try to poach a bench guy from another team?
DL - Locks, barring injury, include Cole, Bunkley, Patterson, Graham, and Tapp.  I doubt that they cut Te'O because he was drafted too early.  Parker is probably too valuable, even if they want to go young.  That's 7 guys with only two true DT's.  Dixon is probably the favorite to be the 3rd DT, but the team wants Laws to prove he's not a bust.  So, who gets pushed to make room for guys like Sapp and Owens?  There are a lot of numbers issues here.  I almost forgot about Victor Abiamiri, because he's highly forgettable.
LB - Locks are Sims and Stewart.  Fokou and Jordan are basically in also.  If they go with a lot of numbers at the DL, they may only be able to keep 5 LB's.  Keenan Clayton was the earlier pick, but Jamar Cheney might have the better pedigree.
DB - Kind of like OL, the depth is bad.  Samuel, Hobbs, Hanson, Mikell, and Allen are locks.  Doubt they cut Lindley.  Macho Harris and Quinton Demps likely figure in, but Demps could be jettisoned if he doesn't have his head on straight.  Kurt Coleman has impressed early but was drafted late enough to possibly clear waivers and make the PS.  I cry every time I hear about Geoff Pope or Dmitri Patterson "making a push."


The team has a few too many rookies this year that they won't want to expose.  There will definitely be at least one or two phantom injuries sending these guys to IR.

I agree with most of his, but I think Chaney makes the team and one of Macho/Demps gets cut. Jamar Chaney won't make it to the PS.

Post by: The BIGSTUD on September 04, 2010, 05:57:00 PM
Would they really only go with 5 WRs? I think Baskett and Washington both make the team unless a WR they like better gets cut and they cut either then.

Right now I think it is one of Dunlap/Andrews and Colvin/Parker.

FB (1): Weaver
WR (5): Jackson, Maclin, Avant, Baskett, Cooper
TE (2): Celek, Harbor

QuoteWR Jeremy Williams Added To Practice Squad

There are now seven players on the practice squad, as the Eagles have signed WR Jeremy Williams, originally a rookie free agent signing of the San Diego Chargers in 2010.

Williams (6-0, 203) was released as part of the team's final roster cutdown on September 4. The 23-year-old starred collegiately at Tulane, earning honorable mention All-Conference USA honors as a senior in 2009 after recording 84 receptions for 1,113 yards and seven touchdowns. He finished his career ranked fourth in school history in receptions (197) and receiving yards (2,807), and seventh in touchdown catches with 19.

In the Chargers' final preseason game, Williams returned a punt 93 yards for a touchdown and caught four passes for 42 yards.

Williams joins tight end Garrett Mills, center A.Q. Shipley, offensive lineman Dallas Reynolds, wide receiver Chad Hall, running back Martell Mallett and defensive tackle Jeff Owens on the practice squad.

QuoteEagles Fill Out Practice Squad

The Eagles announced on Monday night that they have signed safety Chip Vaughn to the practice squad.

 

Vaughn, a fourth-round draft choice of New Orleans in 2009, was released by the Saints as part of their final roster cut down on Saturday. He spent his entire rookie season on the Injured Reserve list. The 24-year-old Vaughn (6-2, 221) saw action in all four preseason games for the Saints this summer and contributed 12 tackles.

 

A two-year starter at Wake Forest, Vaughn finished his collegiate career with 257 tackles, three interceptions, 22 passes defensed, one forced fumble and four fumble recoveries. In his senior season of 2008, the Fairfax, VA, native earned first-team All-ACC honors when he had 87 tackles, two fumble recoveries, and two interceptions.

 

With the signing of Vaughn, the Eagles eight-man practice squad is set. WR Chad Hall, RB Martell Mallett, G/C Dallas Reynolds, C A.Q. Shipley, and DT Jeff Owens were re-signed by the Eagles on Sunday, while TE Garrett Mills, WR Jeremy Williams and Vaughn were added Monday

Fact.

Chip Vaughn was a beast at Wake, I thought at times he was better than Curry and Alphonso Smith on that D who both went much higher than he did.  He has good measurables too, but was far more of a hitter than a coverage safety.

53 man cuts imo

straights cuts

igwenagu
taylor
jarrett
simmons
clayton - could easily be kept if tapp or another DL is traded
gilyard
reynolds
trotter
hughes
jones
ford
brackett
lindley
henry

ps

1. polk
2. hall
3. thomas
4. washington
5. brackett
6. mcnutt
7. ??
8. ??

last two spots could be filled by someone i have making the roster like a vandervelde and thorton....depending on what happens with trades and signing players from other teams...youd think they have to sign one or two offensive lineman who get released around the league if they think it can improve the depth at OL which is horrible...if that doesnt happen than maybe its dj jones and a cut from another squad....ps is really hard to predict as you dont know the balance a team is looking for as far as players they think can play one day versus positions to fill a scout team

Maybe I'm the only one, but I don't see why he should be a lock to make the team. I've always liked Gilyard, and if I'm Andy, I take him over Riley and his flowing blonde locks.
Title: Re: Getting Down to the 53-man Roster
Post by: Eagaholic on August 31, 2012, 09:51:36 AM
I'd guess Dixon is gone ($2 mil salary with no cap hit) and maybe keep Atogwe even though Jarrett probably played his way into a spot by default. He's the only one that is more of SS but if you keep enough maybe someone else will pan out better since SS is the D's weak link. I also think Hanson sticks this year until Boykin learns the position. I hope Cooper is gone. I can also see Tapp gone ($2.6 million without a cap hit) unless they are thinking Patterson might be back after pup.
Title: Re: Getting Down to the 53-man Roster
Post by: DH on August 31, 2012, 09:57:11 AM
I dont see how you can keep OJ. He wasn't healthy last year, and he has failed to stay healthy in the time he's been a Eagle. I dislike Jarrett as much as the next guy, but I can't justify dropping him to keep a guy who will be on IR by week4.
Title: Re: Getting Down to the 53-man Roster
Post by: ice grillin you on August 31, 2012, 10:09:07 AM
agree on hanson...its too risky to go with a rookie as your third corner...boykin is clearly the future will be starting by the end of the year but for now you need hanson as a safety net

otagwe is gone because of the hammy

gilyard is awful...he was a fourth rounder that the rams (worst wr's ever) of all teams cut bait with in his rookie year and didnt even play last year....if cooper is gone and i dont think he is then mcnutt gets the nod

I liked Thomas, and was really hoping he'd make the squad.

S Oshiomogho Atogwe   Veteran safety could not shake off nagging hamstring injury.
TE Brett Brackett   Former college receiver still a passing game threat, still raw as a blocker.
LB Keenan Clayton   Athletic 2010 fourth-round pick caught up in the numbers game at linebacker.
DT Landon Cohen   Signed by the team yesterday for help against the Jets.
TE Chase Ford   Miami product still a promising prospect as an all-around tight end.
WR Mardy Gilyard   Opened eyes with his touchdown receptions during the preseason, caught up in tough position.
WR Chad Hall   Versatile weapon who has shown he belongs in the league. Still practice squad eligible.
CB Joselio Hanson   Veteran nickel cornerback released on cut day for second straight year.
FB Emil Igwenagu   Stanley Havili wins the fullback job, though Igwenagu impressed with versatility.
T D.J. Jones   Solid swing tackle stuck behind King Dunlap, Demetress Bell and Dennis Kelly.
WR Marvin McNutt   Rookie sixth-round pick flashed in Training Camp.
LB Adrian Moten   Failed to establish himself behind top six linebackers.
DT Ollie Ogbu   Acquired from Colts on the first day of Training Camp. Still practice squad eligible.
LB Ryan Rau   Former tryout player opened eyes with impressive play in final two preseason games.
DE Monte Taylor   Talented pass rusher stuck at the team's deepest position.
S Phillip Thomas   Undrafted rookie who impressed against the Browns. Not quite ready for prime time.
DT Frank Trotter   Workmanlike defensive tackle.
OL Steve Vallos   Worked way up to second-team center, appears to have ceded job to Dallas Reynolds.
OL Brandon Washington   Sixth-round pick still adjusting to Howard Mudd's techniques.

I disagree.  Foles provides all the cover he needs on the "quarterback guru" front.  Edwards over Kafka.

Agree with this. I think they trade Kafka for a late round pick, probably a 7th and hang onto Edwards. At least with Edwards you have a veteran to fall back on. Kafka's fate was sealed as soon as he was injured.

pft is either trying to practice better journalism these days and not jump the gun or they arent quite what they used to be as that news is two hours old

andy:

Quote"There was great competition at the quarterback position. That's what football and training camp is all about. In the end, we had to make the difficult decision to let Mike Kafka go. Mike is a class act, a student of the game and a great person and I think he'll have no problem finding a job in the National Football League very soon. On the other hand, I'm proud of the way Trent Edwards conducted himself since the early days of the offseason workouts. He had to fight for everything he earned this summer. He improved each and every day and made the most of every opportunity."

Glad Edwards made it. Earned his way onto the team the old fashioned way. And I'm cool with a veteran checkdowner being one of the backup QBs.

One of the punters will surely be cut, I'm not worried about that. Since the latest info is that Anderson isn't going on the PUP, that leaves one more. They are probably just seeing which lineman is willing to take the steepest pay cut. I wouldn't assume that Lindley made the cut yet, either, 5 CBs is typical. Hopefully the Birds see it our way and don't cut Polk.

yeah anderson for lindley or even hughes would be fine

keep an eye on havili...wouldnt shock me if he was cut to keep polk and be able to add someone else...you have to believe that they are looking for a safety on the waiver wire

McLane says it's official that McBriar is gone. Also says that Trent Edwards believes that Foles is Vick's Week 1 backup.

One more cut to come, unless they do decide to PUP Anderson after all.

Post by: Eagaholic on August 31, 2012, 06:49:42 PM
SS is the only area that is scarey, along with maybe the Oline. And by Oline I mean LT,C and if any starter goes down. And also if a starting corner goes down. Then of course there's the Vick question. As good as Foles has looked he would still need a year before he's ready for prime time. And the punter situation could be a disaster. But the Dline looks like it could be pretty damn good. Of course Juan will be calling the D's plays though.

I am a little disappointed that Cliff Harris, Phillip Thomas and Marvin McNutt didn't do better. Those were three who I was pretty high on going into camp.

I like the make up of the roster - each year there are one or two guys who are on the team who bug the shtein out of me that they're on it...the main one this year is Riley Cooper.

harris pulled a knucklehead off the field

i really like thomas as well but he was hurt which set him back...ill be disappointed if he doesnt end up on the ps

mcnutt is a black riley cooper he was atually a guy i had on my list before the draft took place and i loved where they got him but i never expected much...another ps candidate who could shine in a year or two as a red zone threat/possesion guy

I love that they kept the upside skill players, but I can totally see them getting less that 100 touches combined (Lewis included) with Reid at the controls. I'd like to see a three-headed thing develop as the year progresses. If one of those two can really come on strong, it could have the effect of drastically extending Shady's career.
