The official cuts list from PE.com

Good.

Maybe Mahe is the guy who they'll cut if they sign someone else. But then who returns punts?

[MDS]

Lewis?

[General_Failure]

They're going to listen to rjs and put Westbrook back there.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Maybe Stallworth does it...

Maybe Stallworth does it...

with only 5 WR, I'd rather have Stallworth stay away from KR, it's "dangerous". 

[PhillyPhreak54]

So would I. But I guess we'll have to go with your boy Reno!

Now you don't have to retire the #34!

[The BIGSTUD]

How about cutting Scott Young and Perry and signing Ponder and Davenport.

actually wore it at last night PS game vs. Jets....thought it would be the last time he would be on Eagles roster.

while i dont like that they cut both mccants and gaffney for g lewis (exact opposite of what i thought they were going to to do) i really dont like them releasing j.r. reed. we need a PR/KR and he seemed to me at least to be the best out of the bunch we have right now.

i wonder if they could have have released gaffney if they had not picked up stallworth.

[Father Demon]

I'm surprised by Gaffney and Reed, almost surprised by McCants.

Ditto.

It's easier than typing it myself.

the only one i am surprised at is McCants...the rest are sub par

Interesting takes you folks have... Here's my POV:
JR Reed is finished as a KR. If you can't tell that he just isn't the same player anymore, you are blind. He has definately lost a step. Damn shame too, as I always liked his aggressive nature. Only in Phila, could some wierd shtein like that take place. *sigh*

As for WR, I am NOT surprised they cut Gaffney. I am surprised they cut McCant's though...he was a good ST'er, and we know they need that. I can understand why the kept G-lew though..as a 4th WR, he is quite good. He will get favorable match up's against inexperienced and slower nickel backs, in certain situations. He can be quite a PITA for an opposing defense in situations like that.

Perry is insurance at RB for now, but was kept mostly because of JR Reed's lost step as a KR. I like Perry as a KR man in this situation. I also like his running style. It's a shame he is a bit smallish, and injury prone though. I predict he will be cut when they aquire more player's off the WW. All you Reno hater's: get over it. He isnt' going anywhere, as he is too valuable to Andy. The guy plays 4 positions, albeit he isn't real good at any of them. *argh*

LB is where I have great concern. Because the birds' don't value this position as one of great importance, this defense could really suffer. Sure a great pass rush negates a lot of what an offense wants and can do, but when you run in to smart coaches and good teams, it simply isn't enough. Good teams will just go to a quick passing game, and throw the ball off of 3 and 5 step drops, negating the pass rush, and keeping the D on it's heels. It's THOSE times, when the LB's have to be for real, and the only real LB we currently have is Trot. *Lord, help us please*

I never thought I'd see this day: The birds' have too many quality linemen on both sides of the ball. They are enamored with some of the young prospects, and they refused to cut any of them loose....thus other positions had to take the hit at cutdown time. I believe Andy is going to try and make Young in to a center, with the departure of Fraley. I also suspect there will be a few surprises from JJ's D, sometime this season. Lack of LB skill/depth will force JJ to use smoke and mirror's. I can see Cole and J Thomas coming in as rush ends in the nickel, Howard sliding over to DT, and Kearse trying to drop in to coverage and take away the underneath, against lesser TE's. (or switch Kearse and Cole in that situation) It will be interesting, that's for sure! I guess we will have to wait and find out.

[Wingspan]

one other things. mccant's was a decent ST guy, for average, at it's best, PR and KR coverage units.

[BigEd76]

Ware has been claimed by Arizona

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

They sure are taking their sweet time updating the Practice Squad.
