Hugh Douglas and Jon Ritchie cut!

[Rome]

More from Spadaro... this time on Ritchie:

Ritchie just couldn't run in the end.... I just talked to Heckert. That's what it came down to ... They think Parry is fine.

   

Man, I disagree with this one.  Parry is teh svck.   

[Diomedes]

Rookie safety Jeremy Thornburg also made the cut to 53.

Nice story there.

[General_Failure]

I still miss Tapeh.

[Larry]

I knew Ritchie was in trouble when Spasz said he was neck-and-neck with Parry.  A healthy Ritchie would've blown Parry away.

[General_Failure]

I really liked Ritchie. I'll miss him. MURP at FB for the whole year worries me, even if Andrews is back.

[PhillyPhanInDC]

I'm hoping the coaches know something we don't (as if this doesn't happen regularly), I just can't see them being that satisfied with Parry. Hopefully that work that waiver wire. 

[WEST is GOD]

Ritchie doesn't even worry me that much. Hugh is done, that doesn't worry me one bit.

The thing about Ritchie is from watching him it looked like he could hardly move, but even if Parry is better than Ritchie is that good enough?

[Feva]

Blown away by Ritchie... not that surprised about Hugh.

Although we all love Hugh... you gotta admit that he just ain't the same anymore on the field.  He was in there against 2nd and 3rd teamers and still didn't make too much noise.  Still sucks for him not to be here though. 

As for Ritchie... wow... I guess I just firgured that Ritchie 100% or not >>> Parry.  I still saw (and heard) Ritchie blowing people up for Westbrook.  All I can think is that they want to bring him back after the 1st game for some reason.  Still scratchin' my head on this one. 

I like that Thornburg made the team though.  I already can see him blowing folks up on kickoff coverages.  Our Steve Tasker, perhaps? 

[SD_Eagle5]

I thought Hugh's personality and veteran leadership would have been enough to make the team 

Don't know how Parry beat Ritchie out, he doesn't lead block as well and his hands aren't as good 

[Drunkmasterflex]

I have to say that I am kind of disappointed not to see them on the final roster just because they are two of my favorite players.

[hunt]

hmmmm...ritchie doesn't shock me but i hope they're still looking to upgrade fb.  hugh caught me off guard, only because i'm not sold on kalu opposite the freak (until mcdougle returns).  thomas looked pretty good backing up kearse in preseason so i suppose they could always move him over to the other side.

and mahe making the team.............

[Butchers Bill]

Ashame about Ritchie, but if he can't really run anymore, and he did appear to be laboring against the Jets, than he is probably done.

I agree with pretty much everyone else in that Mahe should not be here.

[TexasEagle]

I'm more bothered Mahe (and to a lesser extent Sims - really didn't see them cutting him no matter how much he sucks) made the team... AGAIN! Get rid of that guy already. What's he going to do, return punts all year and nothing else? Guy's a thief and he's stealing a paycheck!

[Purple_Hayz]

I know that Ritchie hasn't been his old self but for me it's still a shot to the gut to read that he's been cut.  I felt the same way when we said goodbye to Kevin Turner, too-deja vu all over again.

[WEST is GOD]

My thing is I'm ok with Ritchie gone if he's done, but I don't like Parry either. Any other FBs out there to get? Doubt it.
