For many players still currently on the 2017 Miami Dolphins Roster, this final preseason game, and how they play in it, will determine if they remain on the roster, or are removed from it. Some bubble players may have already done enough to stay, but others have to fight tooth and nail, and try to show something extraordinary in their last opportunity, preseason Game #4.
Some of the decision comes to down to how many players can they carry at any certain position. Do we go with 5 or 6 WR’s? How many OL do we carry, 8 or 9?We’ll probably have 4 RB’s, but are those 4 RB’s currently on the roster now, or do we pick one up? Do we take 6 CB’s or 7? I wrote a list, and man, it gets tough. I figure we only bring 2 QB’s, we did that the last couple of years, so figure we do that again. I can see us carrying 6 WR’s if they fear Stringfellow would get poached, but I’m not even sure they’re enamored with him enough to feel that way. I would like to keep him though.
On defense, we know who the likely starters on the D-line are, and I say likely only because there’s still some doubt as to whether it’s God-show or Jordan Phillips. The guys behind the starters are muddled. We know William Hayes and the loser of the 2nd DT spot are in, but then there’s Okoye, Williams, Fede, and you know Charles Harris is in, but the depth at DT and DE are somewhat up in the air.
So who gets cut next?
Also remember, we have 2 players who are eligible to come back after week 8, OG Ted Larsen (I/R), and S T.J. McDonald (SUSP) Both can make a positive impact for our team. Hopefully the O-line is doing well enough that Larsen isn’t so missed, and the same for Nate Allen at S, that T.J. McDonald isn’t desperately needed. If all is well, both can slowly be integrated back into the team.
Will Matt Darr hold off Matt Haack? Will God-show hold onto the starting DT spot next to Suh? Is Jesse Davis for real, and will he start at LG? Is Maxwell really in danger of losing his starting job? Is our 4th RB currently on the roster? Questions that may or not be answered after Preseason game #4. Some of them may have already been determined by the coaches and front office, but while this last game is meaningless to some, it’s life or death (Dolphins roster life) for others.

how could the phins afford to get hayden with their cap situation/ I heard he wants north of 13 mil/year

If we do end up signing Haden, that’s pretty much it in terms of our cap space. We won’t be able to sign Alan Faneca — for example — unless we make an emergency cut or dip into the Bank of Suh (restructure) again.
I just don’t see it happening.
mf13ss says:
August 30, 2017 at 11:57 am
My take? I’m not sure we really are interested in signing Haden. I think this is a motivational ploy directed at Byron Maxwell.
Alan Faneca?????
Faneca bout it!
I truly believe he’s our “break glass in case of emergency” plan. Look for him to be signed after game 1, when vet contracts are no longer fully guaranteed. He’s a natty LG who can play C.
🎶if I go there will be trouble🎶
🎶and if I stay it will be double🎶
They can sign Haden to a one year, vet minimum, prove-it deal. CLE is on the hook for the remainder of $4 M.
Haden ultimately will choose where he wants to go, and if he feels slighted by the Browns, he’s going to go to the Steelers to stick it to them. I think they’re also a stronger playoff contender than we are, at least to the majority of people, Dolphins fans aside.
Correct. However, there are teams who are probably willing and able to afford more than the vet minimum for his services.

Alan Faneca?????
———
OMG!!! LOL @ myself!!! NICK MANGOLD , of course!!! I’m having a premature senior moment!!!
😆
I don’t know HOW Alan Faneca got on my mind after he’s been retired since 2010!!!
OK, I had a feeling you were talking about Mangold. LOL
I think the thing with Mangold is his health. If he’s in good shape, and ready to go, I suppose he’s always a possibility for some team, but I think the Dolphins want to see what Davis can do or can’t do, or they’ll just go with Steen.
M
Faneca is 40 years old, and he hasn’t played in 5 years. Where did you come up with that? Have there been rumors he wants to play?
See just above, Bro! LOL @ myself!
😀
Is Mangold still playing
I think he wants to, but I haven’t seen any interest for him.
The way I see it, Maxwell, who has had his ups and downs, did play very well for a long stretch last season. He’s been here, knows our scheme very well, and has thrived in it. I think Hayden is MORE of a risk than Maxwell, who has already succeeded here. Hard for me to endorse bringing in Hayden. I suppose motivation in CLE could be difficult, but if you’re a pro, you always play. Hayden just wasn’t good last season at all. Last year they both played 13 games, Hayden had 3 INT’s, Maxwell 2, but Maxwell had 15 PD’s compared to 11 for Hayden, AND, Maxwell forced 4 fumbles last season, and he has a propensity to dislodge the football. Just keep Maxwell, and I say forget about Hayden.
I heard Ray Nitski is available?
For the right price, of course! 😀
Nice write Mike E. And interesting point on Stringfellow. If he makes the roster it is cause they know he will get poached. He’s a natural PS candidate. Maybe Gase didn’t appreciate that one play as much as we and ESPN did.

Reggie Ragland traded by the Bills yesterday for a 2018 4th RD pick to the Chiefs
——–
I NEVER was a fan of Ragland. SO very happy we didn’t draft him. He just isn’t that good and never was.
The Erving trade is freaking ridiculous
The Browns and Bills are trying to outdo one another with piling up draft picks (that they will probably waste)
He a 1st rounder from 2015 who started 13 games for them last year
That’s just pure FO failure
Pretty clear both are more concerned about the future than winning this year. Maybe the NFL is becoming more like the NBA…….goes on long enough and maybe football puts in the draft lottery.
If the Phins do anything on defense they’re acquiring a LB
It’s really hard to look at stats when comparing CBs. Who would you rather have the guy that has 4 picks 20 passes defended or the guy with 2 picks and 8 PDs? Looking at just the stats it’s easy, but what if the 2nd only gets 2 passes thrown his way per game? Changes a lot.
Nice by Schad on Gase and Cutler, including:
““He was coming out of Vandy. I picked him up at the airport… We just kept bumping into each other as far as guys in the league and people that we’ve been around. We just keep crossing over a lot. We just kept in touch.”
http://dailydolphin.blog.palmbeachpost.com/2017/08/30/miami-dolphins-coach-adam-gase-explains-the-jay-cutler-he-trusts/
Now think about this. NFL Network saying if Haden leaves PIT without a deal he’s most likely signing with the Dolphins. Of course at this time this is pure speculation because there’s no way of knowing the Phins level of interest in Haden &, personally, I don’t think they would sign him because he doesn’t fit the prototype cb on the outside they seem to like.
However, let’s say they do sign him and they either trade Maxwell or let him go for the purpose of making room for Haden’s cap hit, what does that say about Landry? Again, just speculation, but if they did sign Haden and Max is gone then they’ve GOT (no Game Of Thrones reference) to be looking to unload Landry.
Still with the woody for trading Landry
RT is on injured reserve.
Can Haden play inside in slot? I seem to remember he does.
Let’s play 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon to trade Landry
1: Browns cut Hayden
2: Pitt doesn’t sign Hayden
3: Dolphins sign Hayden
4: Dolphins cut Maxwell (because nobody is trading for him)
5: “We represent the lollipop guild, the lollipop guild, the lollipop guild. We wish to welcome you to munchkin land.”
6: Dolphins trade Landry
An irrefutable chain of logic that cannot be denied.
LMFAO!

Prof Lou,
Having followed you on Twitter for a long time, I wonder if you could explain why you BLOCKED me? You could have muted me or even unfollowed me… but you BLOCKED me. You have ALWAYS been one of the leading voices that it takes a “pu$$y” to actually block someone… especially when it comes to Omar Kelly.
Care to explain this, dude? I’ve never ONCE disrespected you… not here, not on the F-ME, nor Twitter. I HAVE seen people outright BITCH-SLAP you and OUTRIGHT DISS you on Twitter… and you STILL follow them. Hmmmm…
It’s because you’re a douchebag like the rest of us here
Bingo!
M
Don’t get too bent out of shape man. I kind of figured out what Lou was all about when he ran to twitter to tell the world to stay away from here because we’re all a bunch of douchebags. That’s a kids mentality. I know you also take twitter more seriously than I do, but your standard of followers just went up when you lost Prof Lou. Carry on!
^^^^
Oh gee, my feelings are so hurt
Admit it….Home is really your alter ego.
LOL @ Alan Faneca
I’m almost ready to make a season prediction (Boulder’s spreadsheet)! I want to see PSG4 first, though. Needless to say, I FEEL GOOD, like James Brown.
Reply
You will have 1 day to do it at that point.
Okay : so I click on the Link to the Spreadsheet and it says 2017 at top, but all games are the 2016 schedule.. wtf am I doing wrong ??
Probably very few starters play in the 4th PS game. Most likely all the guys fighting for roles and backup jobs only.
Maybe just a series….
No injuries!!
I went to a bar to play some pool with a buddy, and as I’m walking in I see a coworker buddy of mine and notice a huge crowd because a local radio station was giving away some season tickets and a bunch of other prizes. It sucked because the bar was packed. Anyway, as I’m leaving later, my coworker hollers at me and tells me he won season tickets…not in the drawing but in a final, surprise, booby-type prize that they stuck in a beer bottle. I had actually heard a woman scream earlier….he said it was his wife. He was elated….I asked if he was gonna sell them on e-bay. Lol
Awesome for your buddy…..and maybe you down the road too.
Zimmer has been threatening to play his starters in the game because their team and offense especially has not looked good in PS.
RIP Rollie Massimino. Couldn’t help but like you.
Aww RIP I always liked him too
M13, after seeing you say Faneca when I read your post about Ahmad Brooks I immediately thought of Ahmad Green and I was like WTF? Lol
Wonder if we kicked the tires on Brooks?
Randy you mean Vikes tickets don’t you?
Krishna is from Texas. I hope he’s alright. Check in if you can Krishna. My Sweet Lord.
son,
Yeah, Vikes tickets. Pretty sweet prize in what’s supposed to be a really cool brand new stadium. I’d sell them, but he was very happy.
stanger,
I did not enjoy my one live NFL football game. I’ll probably never see another…unless I somehow make it to a Fest someday. Even then, I may skip the game and just keep drinking and talking to the hookers in the hotels you guys use. Lol
How come you didn’t enjoy it?
Being that we still have 90 on the roster we can still field a team without the core guys playing. It would be a good game to give the 2nd and 3rd teams a lot of work before cut downs.
I would do that every year in the 4th preseason if possible
As long as you have 90 or maybe 88 or whatever, you can do it. 75 not so much with injuries etc. For instance Hewitt hasn’t played in the PS at all and he should be the 3rd or 4th LB or in a rotation. Hopefully he can go on opening day. We need him.
You’re all over that😉
I really think it’s a good thing. For example sit Ajayi but start Drake and then give all the other backs good playing time. Williams not too much, we know what he is. But Johnson, Perry and Smith should get some good playing time.
Good write up, Mike. I meant to lead off with that but was blinded by Alan Faneca posts. LOL
LOL – Thanks. Funny how our minds play those kind of tricks on us.
I was like wait what, he’s still playing? LOL
Stanger, I’m not going to be coming to the fest. I just have too much going on then and have to be in Nashville on Monday afterwards for a conference. Plus I’ve just moved and had to buy a bunch of stuff, you know things like beds and furniture for my kids so it doesn’t seem to be a good idea to spend the cash on the trip. Being an adult is hard! On a positive note I LOVE my new place. The moving/unpacking not so much. Lol
I get it Herd. Glad you’re enjoying your new place, and of course, your family. We’ll just have to meet you another time.
This is my Harvey. Devastating. Lol
We will sing songs in Herd’s honor at the fest
🎶she can’t be here🎶
🎶but she is still with all of us🎶
How’s my song writing ?
As for the LB position battles, remember Gase said being that we’re a 3 LB box, the positions aren’t really important who plays where. They play inside the DEs most of the time. They’re all ILBs except two are obviously closer to the outside. LOL
I did my FF draft for my wife’s work league, think I ended up with a pretty damn good squad. We were in the 1st spot, so while I got the RB I wanted at #1, they flew off the board by the time I picked next. David Johnson, Amari Cooper, Aaron Rodgers, Tevin Coleman, Latavius Murray, Devante Parker, Sammy Watkins, Kenny Stills, Tyler Eifert, Stephen Gostkowski, NYG DEF. Overall, very happy with my team.
Overall, that’s not too shabby. I don’t do FF, but I think I would have passed on Stephen Gostkowski. It’s not that he’s bad, but you could have done better had you picked up Alan Faneca instead… just sayin’… 😉
LOL! He was taken already when I picked.
Nice!
I’ve got absolutely ZERO beef with Prof Lou. I don’t care if ANYBODY 100% and consistently disagrees with my opinions. And I’m not bent out of shape that he blocked me on Twitter.
However, I think I deserve an explanation at the very least. I mean, it would be nice to know WTF I did to warrant the Twitter ‘death sentence’ from someone I had considered to be a good and reliable online friend.
What’s up, Lou? What did I do?

I maintain that THIS is a major reason we hadn’t re-signed Jarvis. And this is additionally why he’s not going to be traded: nobody knows yet if/when he’ll be legally disciplined by the courts or disciplined by the NFL itself.
This talk of trading Jarvis is an ABSOLUTE moot point, PERIOD.
Well , in Landrys case, the woman really went out of the way to defend him and shoot down speculation
I guess video is video though
Yeah, man. ‘The tape don’t lie’, as they say. And we’ve seen many instances where the victim of DV stands by her man, even when she should not.
This is NOT good… 😦
I guess we will see
But they pretty much have to review it whether or not in has no merit

M13, simple stuff. Lou insulted us all with his tweet that we’re all douchebags here. Not sure why, but he did.
Yet he continues to post here (which I’ve no problem with, whatsoever), but I can’t even get an explanation from him on Twitter being he BLOCKED me.
I’m not the smartest man, but I sense that there’s something going on with Prof Lou. Whatever that may be, my thoughts and prayers are with him. I KNOW that he’s a good dude… which is why I don’t understand why he’s doing what he’s doing.
Son,
My man Romany Malco (rapper/actor) is from Baytown, Texas. I hope he and his hometown is doing alright in lieu of H. Harvey. You may remember me posting some of his music in the past, mistaking it for me. Here’s another one…

No, I didn’t enjoy it at all. I actually left at halftime. The crowd was abnoxious. I could barely even see the game. I prefer to sit in my longer and not have thousands of morons shouting and basically bugging the shit out of me. Lol

Lol last preseason is tomorrow. And the Fins won SB 52.
Just got to read your post Mike E. Always good to read.
I think 6 WRs and Stringfellow as well. Other than that we’ll see. And I’m probably wrong on the WRs anyway.
But I’m pretty confident in Gase’s eye. He cleared the roster of lots of dead weight pretty quickly last year. Guys that prob would still be here and starting!!

ROCK: THOSE on this site who never had the historic “Orange Bowl Experience” truly missed one of life’s greatest moments IMHO. It was the greatest home field advantage I’ve ever witnessed. It was no coincidence that both the longest home field winning streak in college football (UM’s 59 game winning streak) and the Dolphins’ incredible home winning record from 1971 through 1974 both occurred IN THE SAME PLACE. To say those of us who were lucky enough to be there WERE SPOILED would be an understatement of vast proportions.
What did I learn from the historic Orange Bowl? I learned to revel in the experience. And I learned to get the most I could out of any football game I attended. Do you think drunk, rude, Jets’ fans could stop us from “enjoying the experience?” NOT A CHANCE IN HELL!!! –Over time, the Orange Bowl became HELL for visiting teams!! And when we lost, it made history (the San Diego-Miami overtime classic)!! I woulodn’t trade those experiences for ANYTHING!! And I sure as hell wouldn’t be deterred by drunk, rude, fans who soon found themselves out yelled and over matched in the place we called “HOME!”
Bring ’em on!!!!!
The Orange Bowl was insane. The stadium literally rocked. Those bleacher seats were uncomfortable as hell, but when the stadium was packed, and the fans were into it, it felt like an earthquake in those bleachers as they swayed and rocked. It was pretty wild.

******************************************************
I’m pretty sure Lou isn’t Home FWIW.
I get it: everyone is mad at Lou bc of what he posted which called us all a dbag on twitter
I’m recommending dropping it and laying off him. I said before I’m too old to get mad at the little things. I’ve been called a lot worse than a douchebag…and sometimes…I’m kind of douchbag…lol
You guys are obviously free to make your own decisions. But I’m over it and frankly its just not a good look for the blog to attack each other especially when football is in the air
(piggy farts)
also…there are other things in the air
I don’t really care what Lou does, and whether he’s Home, Home’s cousin, Uncle, Grandmother whatever. I’m not mad at him, but I think he’s far worse than a douchebag for running to twitter like a 12 year old girl and telling everyone to stay way from this blog, and then come back on here himself and still post. Pretty sure I’m going to keep up the “Douchebag Campaign”, until I get tired of it, or he stops posting here.
Mostly because I think the douchebag thing is kinda funny.
We all have the right to do what we do, but am with Pig on this one. How many people have said they are never coming back over the years only to still be here? Guess the difference in this one is Lou took it outside the blog, but that option was not there in years past……still just a hissy fit thing though. And he still came back after. Only person ever banned from this place was Home, but that was for trying to stop the place from working rather than what he actually said.
Both Mike E and Piggy are correct. Lou’s twitter post is an insult and affront to all of us here. That said keeping a running feud/posting about probably is not a good look for the blog. I will drop it from here on out.
James Walker has taken a dive on the team. In April he was going with 9 wins, now he is going with 7. Hope Boulder enters Walker’s game-by-game predictions on his spread sheet.
http://www.espn.com/blog/miami-dolphins/post/_/id/25950/miami-dolphins-injuries-rugged-schedule-will-keep-them-out-the-playoffs
I object to the 12 year old girl analogy. They are much more mature than that.
Sorry, I can’t argue that. Make it 12 YO boys then
Oh fine… you goody two shoe, turn the other cheek douchebags just want to spoil our fun.
I can’t make any promises. When it comes to taking digs at know it also, I have very little discipline. For instance, if Lou Lou was here right now, I would have to ask him what color his GM BarcaLounger is, notwithstanding the sweat stains, of course.

Why do Dolphins fans have to admit this? What’s the point?

That’s why he’s not Aaron Rodgers.

Fact that Lou said what he did outside of here, then comes and seems to ignore the fact he did anything at all to insult the people here. That’s the strange part for me to understand. I’m guessing if he owned up to it, explained it a bit and maybe not even have to apologize, it would be over and done.
M on here just asking for explanation of his blocking is another head scratcher.
Man up. We all say and do stupid crap. None of which a simple apology or explanation won’t fix on this blog. For a bunch of douchebags, everyone here is forgiving and good people. It’s a football blog, why so serious?

Ill do a post, even though i will probably will regret it. I have deliberately kept away despite a strong desire to post my opinions on upcoming cuts, etc, and yes i do still stop by to read from time to time. I have stopped posting here, though, because it began feeling like every time i did someone had snide things to say, not just to disagree with me, which i can live with, but do it to a degree it was obvious they didn’t care for my comments, or perhaps just didn’t care for me at all. I have had times where my integrity was called into question.There have been insults made towards me or disregard for my opinions simply because of where i am from, my belief system etc. A lot of it i spent years brushing off, and moving past but it got to be more common than uncommon when i finally just said, for my own well being, Im done.
Ironically, Lou was one of the people who did this, so calling the rest of y’all out for it seems very pot-kettle. I am sure to some of y’all i was a douche-bag, though i cant really think of any one person i really singled out and attacked their comments on a daily. Maybe i was a lot of yalls douche-bag, maybe thats why i cant think of one specific person because there were just so many lol. Maybe i wasn’t of consequence either way, i really dunno. Still If i was that guy for you, i accept the blame for this and im sorry. I do hope that either the separation i made from this board has made things better for you and maybe even given some time to heal wounds, the way the separation has allowed me to somewhat heal my own. Im not sure ill ever ready to be the poster i use to be but its possible ill swing by a little more for book long drive-byes.
Back on the subject of Lou’s twitter post, I guess what im saying is i fully agree that Lou had no reason to do that, and it should have been handled different, and in a more mature fashion, but i also believer his assertions aren’t fully incorrect either. There do exist issues, with people and situations that occur here, that make his comments no 100% off mark. It would do this place a lot of good for the people who make these comments to stop hiding behind their excuses, their righteous indignation, and their passive aggressive comments to admit they are a bit of a douche-bag and they could change themselves to make this community better. Im pretty sure most of you are moral enough to know when what you have said hit these marks, but maybe the guilt just doesn’t weight heavily enough on you to really feel bad about it. Search yourself, do whats right.
Enough of raining and yalls parade. Douche-bag signing off. Deep down i still very much love you guys, and love this board, im just not sure i can post here anymore. This also might have been too deep for a drive bye, and im sorry for that but part of me has been wanting to say something about my abrupt departure, and this subject just brought it out of me. I really just hit my limit. You can return to your regularly scheduled programming now. Thank you for all of those who took the time to read this narrative, and for those who skipped this because they don’t like to read my books of typing… well i guess despite skipping it, the post still let you know im still alive.
Go-Dolphins, and hope you all get shit worked out so you can enjoy the season, it should be a interesting one at least.
D – I’m glad to see you here, if that means anything. I’d love to hear your thoughts on the team too.
I kind of felt I was responsible for your disappearance, and I am truly sorry I’m the reason. I wouldn’t intentionally try to piss you off, but if I did, I apologize
D, I’m sorry you feel or felt that way. I enjoy your commentary and even debates that we have. I have no disrespect for you.
D — you are one of the people that I have always valued most on this board. Thought we had a lot of great conversations on stuff. You are one insightful Dolphins fan and a good dude. Have missed you. Hope you come back and realize that this board is just a mix of a whole bunch of people…..and a lot of them were missing you as well.
D,
You’re a good dude and a great football mind, Brother. I think I speak for everybody when I say the door is always open for your return, if you so choose. I’d ask you to reconsider. This board is better with you than without you, man.

Do they have to do that, or can’t they just cut a player as they’re getting ready to sign another one?
_______________
they are probably waiting to see who’s available, i’m sure they already have their targets and their expendables
I’m sure some of the cuts have been decided, but I do think what some players do tonight can either save them or get them cut.
Agreed. Showing improvement vs. making the same mistakes.
You can beat Brady if you pressure him up the middle, we may with Suh God and phillips
Yep! He’s not very mobile to escape that kind of pressure. He struggles when he doesn’t have a tea party in the pocket.
D come back bro. You are highly valued here. I don’t know what it what it was that caused you to feel that way. Just let me know who did it and I will smash them
It’s easy to insult and piss people off sitting in anonymity behind a keyboard (or phone in my case). Big percentage of it would never happen in person. So I don’t take things so seriously in the electronic world.
But to blatantly insult and be a troll is easy to see. I make note of it and move on.
I mostly lurk here and just wanted to tell you D that skimming thru your books was always a good read.
I’ve said that many times if it was person to person there would be less misunderstandings. Typed words don’t always show someone’s true temperament. But there are also obvious insults like you said that there is no other way to take it.
its not easy on your keyboard
look at what hoarding all those internet insults has done to this keyboard
Is that the DOUCHE key?
That’s on the other side of the keyboard
this keyboard has been through a lot
D
I already admitted I was a bit of a douchebag, so there is one down. That should be enough for you to post again. 😀
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Serious question, at what point are Dolphins fans going to admit to themselves Tom Brady is the best QB OF ALL TIME. He has no weaknesses.
8/31/2017, 10:01:32 AM
————————-
Around the same time we admit to ourselves that Omar Kelly has something to offer the Dolphins community other than the innate ability to make a pina colada with some pineapple juice, rum, and the contents of his head.
LOL
If you think its an emotional rollercoaster here today
just wait until Cutler throws 2 interceptions in a game
LOL, cut him!
He’ll probably do that against Tampa, along with 3 TD passes.
If we win who cares.
Tampa fans probably.
Actually, come to it, if we win, hopefully Dolphins fans care too.
Your killing me D with the long posts again.I always look forward to reading your posts because your the more knowledgeable posters on football matters.
——————————————————————-
If I may, I’m going to offer some advice with the book novel posts. They are way too long sometimes. I still have not figured out where the book mark icon is for the individual posts so I can break up your detailed post and read some and come back. At 59 sometimes I forget where I left off reading and then I have start reading the post from the beginning and then I reach the black hole where I have to bookmark where I want to start reading again where I left off reading. God help me I only have so much time on this earth and I need to get past these long novel posts. Someone please help me find the bookmark icon for D’s post’s. MISS U D
Isn’t the game at 8 tonight cuz it’s central time in Minny?
If so, then shit. I am amped up and ready already.
I think I’ll go to the gym and try to burn it off.
Let me know if we trade Ajayi for some depth at OG.
Yes 8PM.

We have released OL Jah Reid.
UCF
I must have lost weight- because today I saw my D for the first time in a long time!
Come on D no ones singling you out. We’re all buds here.
good one
Joe Rose reported that 33 of our core guys will not play tonight. So it will be 2nd and 3rd teams. 🙂
That’s a solid move. Let the guys who have been there throughout camp get some tape to show, especially with the big cut this year. 90 on the roster right now…..37 will be cut.
That makes sense. It’s pretty much what I expected to happen. Guys will be playing to stay
Great news for our health going into the season. Gase has given up on winning preseason games, as he should.
With 90 still on the roster this will be the new way of playing the 4th PS game for most teams.
D, don’t let anyone keep you from posting here. If anyone is disrespectful I’ll kick their ass. 😁
For instance startting OL tonight:
LT Young
LG Davis
C Brendel
RG Asiata
RT Smith
LB Reilly, Allen, Lacey
Yikes, we might not score tonight, unless Grant or Stringfellow break one.
It’s time for these guys to show their worth. If they make the team they will be counted on at some point. There will be lots of game tape for the coaches before cuts are made.
Asiata at RG could only mean they don’t want to move him around, and may be grooming him for next year.
Agreed. This is probably Bushrod’s last season.
I feel partly responsible for D leaving. The last time he was here Mike and I disagreed with him on something, but didn’t think he leave for that. Sorry D we were just bustin your bawls a little bit. Come back we miss you😢
Even if not sure what happened with D, you are a ball buster for sure my bud. 🙂
But keep in mind some people take things more seriously than others (feel free with me, Rock, etc).
Would love to get you to a Fest. No one who is coming to this one has ever done a storm off….amazing how even on-line reactions change after the Fest love thing.
hey the reason i posted all those PFF stats is it seems like half the teams out there have former players of ours that are doing well for them … even starting. That must mean the guys we kept are better than the guys who are starting all around the league.
I mean I moan about losing 7-11, but I would rather have our Big 3 than him so he would be battling Caroo for WR4.
Jelani Jenkins is another quality player, but I’d rather have Kikio, Timmons, and Raekwon.

I’m rooting for Praise Martin-Oguike to get on this team. At least on the Practice Squad.
For me seeing rooks and borderline players are always who I look forward to seeing in the PS. We already know what proven vets are all about. It’s the guys fighting for jobs that you want to see.
just heard bokamber the qb from last yr is eligible for practice squad while fales isn’t. Easy coach decision.
For that reason, Fales won’t stick (we’re not likely to carry 3 QBs on the active roster). Doughty can EASILY be replace, IMO. I’d be looking for us to pick up a young QB who is cut on Saturday to add to our PS.
I’d say it’s a guarantee we’re not keeping 3 QBs on the 53.
Agreed, Tim.
I wasn’t too thrilled with either Doughty or Fales.
Neither has an NFL caliber arm.
I agree
Even though it’s against 2’s and 3’s, I’d like to see Carroo go off tonight
how can they deny the future HOF
LOL – Exactly!
The stej #1s are on the field right now, vs the Eagles #2s, 3s, and 4s… and they SUCK!!! 3-and-out for the stej!!!

Myles Garrett has lived up to the hype so far
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DImB3VPXcAAB9lN.jpg:large
I think Derek Barnett has been the most impressive, but he’s in NFC on the Eagles
LOL, the stej ‘varsity’ team is having struggles against the Eagles’ ‘JV’ team!!! McCown got hit HARD, missed a few plays as Hackenburg took over, and then CAME BACK IN!!!
Are the stej REALLY trying to get their starting QB killed? Are they playing for R1P1 next year?
“Are they playing for R1P1 next year?”
Yep! They have a very good DL to build around. They need a QB, OL and skill players.
My hope is they screw up and win too many games. LOL
Just think only 17 weeks left of football till we get to the draft talk
😆
everyone no’s the dallas/houston game was canceled. the poor players on the bubble are going to be cut without another game. Might find a gem from these two teams.
Who is watching the game tonight? I will be but then get it for free. Interesting still….but you get the idea. Not like the 3rd one.
I’m recording it, but probably won’t be able to watch it for a couple of days
