The preseason finale game won’t mean anything to the starters, but it will mean everything to so many players desperately wanting to show enough to secure a roster spot. The Dolphins at this moment have 90 players on the roster and they must cut that down to 53 by Saturday. Think about that, 37 players will be removed from the roster. There are a couple that may end up on the 8 game IR, and still others will eligible to be placed on the practice squad. For all the others, this is at least temporarily, the end of their quest to be on an NFL roster. Some will get picked up by other teams quickly, and others may get picked up when a need arises.
Another factor involved in the cut downs is the strategy by the FO and coaches as to how many players they want to carry at certain positions. I’ll start on offense with the QB’s. Historically, we have carried only 2 QB’s, and I expect that to continue. I think David Fales will get the #2 spot, and Brock Osweiler will be cut. At WR, it depends on whether we carry 5 or 6WR’s, but last year it was 5. If we stretch it to 6, then it’s between Leonte Carroo, Francis Owusu, Rashawn Scott and Malcolm Lewis. When we drafted LC3, and tried to look at the bright side, I hoped maybe he would be like Anquan Boldin lite and maybe push Parker for a starting job. Now, LCIII is on the cusp of getting removed from the roster, and it’s real. My hope is if we do carry 6, Owusu gets the nod.
The RB’s will most likely be 4, and I expect those to be Frank Gore, Kenyan Drake, Kalen Ballage and Senorise Perry. I know Langford has history with Gase, but Perry plays ST’s as a KR and he has shown some ability to make some tough runs, so he gets the edge.
At TE, the obvious 2 are the recent draft picks Mike Gesicki and Durham Smythe, and I personally like Gray for his ability to block both in line and also as an H-back/FB, and I believe they like Derby’s potential, so that makes 4 TE’s.
On the O-line, the injury to Ted Larsen will probably open a roster spot, unless he’ll be OK for the opener. We know it’s probably not serious, but still may keep him out for a weeks. Guys that were on the bubble like C Mike Matthews and OG Connor Hilland may get a shot if Larsen will be out for a while. Asiata definitely just moved up and should make the roster.
On the D-line, there will definitely be some tough cuts. With the trade that brought us Robert Quinn, and the draft pick of Charles Harris last season, we have a lot of DE’s, but at least one of them (William Hayes) can slide inside in rush packages, which gives us more flexibility, and may bump a potential DT off the roster. We know Quinn, Wake, Phillips, Godchaux, Spence, Hayes, Branch, and Taylor are in, that’s 8, which leaves maybe 2 more spots for any combo of Malveaux, Langford, Pittman and Woodard. Tough cuts indeed!
In the secondary, it won’t be easy either, and ST’s may play a big part as to who gets to stay. X and Good Ole Bobby are IN, Reshad Jones, T.J. McDonald, Minkah Fitzpatrick IN, and then I’d have to think Maurice Smith and probably Cordrea Tankersley and Torry McTyer, but Tony Lippett’s health may put him on the IR (8 game), and Walt Aikens and Jordan Lucas are both excellent ST’s players, so that’s maybe one or 2 more roster spots for guys like Cornell Armstrong, Jalen Davis and Tavese Calhoun.
At LB, it’s a little muddled, with Stephone Anthony not really showing up, he could be in danger of getting cut. We know Kiko Alonso, Raekwon McMillan and Jerome Baker are starters, but Mike Hull’s availability, or lack thereof may open up an opportunity for someone else. Garvin is a solid vet who is a ST’s ace, so he’s in, Chase Allen was a former starter for us due to injuries, and he showed well enough, but the injury to Hull could possibly open the door for either Frank Ginda or Quentin Poling.
The final battle is ST’s, where kickers Jason Sanders and Greg Joseph have squared off all during TC and the preseason. I think Sanders is in, and then we have P Matt Haack, LS God John Denney.
So that’s what I think about the roster, and Preseason Game IV is tomorrow against the Falcons in Atlanta at 7PM, the game will be replayed on NFL Network on Saturday morning at 6AM.

hoo boy
I should not dip into this.
Can’t help it.
I agree with Phish that “monkey it up” is NOT a common Southern colloquialism. I have lived in the South for a long long long time and never once heard that phrase, so no it isn’t “old school” Southern and I have kids who grew up recently down here and never heard any of them or their friends say that either nor have i ever read that phrase in “Southern lit.”
I have heard of “monkey business.” But no one thinks monkey business has anything to do with african americans unless they are trying to make the connection just to stir shit up, but it’s not a real thing.
I don’t know if deSantis was trying to be racist, or is so racist he slipped up, or what, but he might be too stupid to deserve being elected if he did not see that that remark would cause trouble.
That was my point. Dumb choice of words regardless of the intended meaning.
also I love beets, but not pickled, just fresh
As in raw ?
And in football news, the Raiders want two 1st round picks for Mack.
And good luck to them as well
Something wrong with anyone who likes beets….
collards are a completely different plant, related closely to Kale and somewhat to cabbage.
rutabagas are a cross between turnips and cabbage, not so closely related to beets
cigarettes are a made from a foul weed and in modern form are highly poisonous and prepared in a soup of toxic chemicals.
Yeah they are pretty good 🤡
Kids, dont start !!
Mf13ss, I don’t misquote you and I challenge you to demonstrate any false reference I have directed at you. BS.
I do bust your balls…..as I see you as an instigator and condescending of others opinions.
And this is based on your NON-FOOTBALL related comments. If you left these out of the blog, I wouldn’t be “putting you on blast.”
Love your love for football and your insight into it and the Dolphins. Thank you.
Son: Dad why do you smoke
Dad: Son never pick one u[ and you won’t have to know!
He should have said, well so. I was from n the prime of my life, I had more ey a beautiful woman and my whole life ahead of me, and then you happened. I had to sell my sports car for a station wagon. You destroyed that tiny tight body of my sexy lady, and all my money disappeared from my bank account. The depression was so severe I started smoking. Wanna ask my why I drink?
Maybe monkey it up is more broad than just the South, I know I have heard it down here a d yes it was from older people so there is a era that the statement comes from. Like I said I have no idea the true histy, just the context I have ever heard it used in an I don’t remember once that it was used in a racial manner. Maybe this is a first for me, I have no clue what his true meaning was but it was very very stupid.
sorry Manitoba… i asked my wife about the beets and her sister knows a way of cooking them, but I do not know how she does it.
I do like the ones at better salad bars which ARE boiled and then pickled, but I did not realize that was how those are prepared, as I have also eaten some pickled beets that were nasty.
I cannot fathom eating them raw.. how would the butter melt ?
In a pan!
Jeese???????????
The greens can be done as a wilted greens salad using bacon grease and bits to saute the greens in. I have eaten the beets themselves raw and cooked. If you have only had the pickled ones i know exactly why you don’t like them. I hate the pickled ones but loved fresh and cooked
Na D!
It actually worked!
I only eat beets cold on salads.
I have lived in Mississippi, Florida, Georgia, and Texas. I’ve never heard “monkeying it up”. Yet, when I hear a white man characterize a black man’s intention as “monkeying it up” it gives me pause.
It’s a WTF was that moment for me. Doesn’t seem too bright and certainly divisive choice of language.
No one has used that phrase in a normal conversation
Good to see you Krishna
Oinks everyone
For my part I’m pretty sure every avocado is a member of M13 and is on Soros’ payroll
SEE!
SEE!
Even the pig agree’s with me!
OMG……that’s hilarious.
LMAO!
I also concur with MF13 about picking just the right moment to eat avocados.
They are extremely nutritious as well as delicious when eaten ripe but still firm and tight to the touch. That will prevent a mushy texture from ruining the whole experience.
And the best variety is Hass.
They’re a dollar each here in Naples at the grocery store.
Kramer had a theory about avacados
My mom also had a small garden and grew Beets, beans , peas and asparagus.. of those i got sick of cooked beans, and anything to do with Beets ..love raw beans, cant stand em cooked .. hated asparagus because she left it grow too long and i went all woody and gross.. i can eat it now covered in cheese sauce , but as soon as i get a woodie part (shut up🤡) im done
A good avocado is felt. Texture is important. A high quality fat as well. Helps increase HDL in the body vs LDL.
Love a good guacamole.
D i have eaten Beet leaves/greens , its just like swiss chard .. as for wilted greens , that just sounds like time to toss my lettuce or celery out cause its gone bad
agree on that
Good to see ya Piggy.. nothing like having bacon pop up when talking good food 🤪
Pig farts to you
🐖💨
Good to see you too piggie.
Pork Hocks was another monthly meal growing up … DISGUSTING… was so happy once i got a paper route and could afford to skip that meal and eat elsewhere
Sounds like an atrocity to me
Glad you escaped that hell
The only day worse was “Clean Out the Fridge Crockpot Day “.. i was 45 before my current wife was allowed to own a crock pot they scarred me so bad
Mmmmmmmm…..bacon…..
Mmmmmm….bacon….
It’s disgusting and toxic
Stay away from it
And advocados
Hey Manitoba
I’m going to Montreal for Labor Day weekend
Cool if I encourage them to separate and form their own country?
100 % Please do.
Seriously though , supposedly a very nice city, if ya took the people out of it 🤓
I assume this is a pleasure trip as opposed to work ? See if the Comedy Festival is still on .. they are famous for it
You should fly to California!
Good to see both Krishna and Piggy!
🐖💨
The guy I mentioned earlier that made that fantastic batch of guac, we went shopping while on vacation to buy all the ingredients, and man, we had to go back to the supermarket twice to get the “right” avocados, and wait until they were exactly ripe. I thought he was out of his mind, but damn if that guac wasn’t awesome!
Krishna,
Well, then… I apologize for making you feel offended. You hereby DECREE that I shall not say ANYTHING that makes the one, KRISHNA, feel uncomfortable.
FURTHERMORE… I SHALL take what the one, KRISHNA, says to HEART. I SHALL obey his wishes, so as to shut me up, when we disagree on political matters that only HE brings up on the sports blog, where we rather infrequently converse.
AS SUCH… no JOKE, INSINUATION, nor INDIRECT reference to KRISHNA’S form of government shall be tolerated. See, KING KRISHNA has abolished the 1st Amendment and wants to silence certain folks.
NO THANK YOU, Krishna. And being I’m NOT getting into politics on a sports blog… nah, I’m not even going to say what’s coming for…
US.
Lol…thank you for your football rant. That was awesome and mostly if not all of it, untrue.
YOU chose me as your enemy, Krishna… not the other way around. I’ll welcome you back with open arms, Bro.
Bacon, lettuce, avocado on toasted sourdough is pretty awesome.
Sounds great , just toss the Guac 😎
Piggles! Wow man, it’s been a while since you spent more than a minute on here. Glad to see you.
Sadly, I must depart because I need to go to sleep. 13+ hour day of work tomorrow awaits me, and I need my rest, because I’m old.
Draft is Wednesday night guys
The Oinkinator is aware
🐖💨
It’s a pleasure trip Manitoba
Just wanted to get away for a long weekend
Good for you, enjoy it and remember.. all you need is Parlez Vous Anglais ? And nest pas parlez francais
asparagus stinks and has methyl mercaptan which is a poisonous gas, but if served crispy and not boiled grey, it’s ok in small doses.
And makes yer Pee Green
Phelon – I’m now bourbon and cigar man. People are buying me bourbon and cigars for my birthday. I’m starting to get a bourbon collection, although at the moment it’s pretty modest. I have 5 different makes though, Four Roses, Elijah Craig, Evan Williams, Bookers and Woodford Reserve.
Do you have a favorite bourbon brand?
I’m too early in the process to be honest. I do very much like Four Roses, and the bottle of Elijah Craig I tried was exceptionally smooth. I haven’t opened the Bookers (130 proof) or the Evan Williams yet. The Evan Williams is a honey bourbon, supposed to be very smooth, that was a gift. My son bought me the Bookers. I told him he has to drink it with me, I want him to feel the 130 proof with me. lol
Knob Creek is also luscious.
Evan Williams was pretty popular back in the day!
I will admit
I smother myself with avacado occasionally
I’ve never heard the phrase “monkey this up”, but then I also didn’t know what ‘hentai’ was until my teenager explained it to me, lol.
LMAO.. not that i have clue on hentai either
LOL
I think we were playing Cards Against Humanity and the card was either hentai or tentacle porn. No doubt there is a sub-genre of hentai that deals with chickens as well.
If you say “Hentai this is up” you may as well be committing political seppuku
LMAO, nice!
I only eat the veggies (whatever they may be)

Goodnight all – Welcome back Jordi!
Peace, Mike E! Audi as well.
Welcome back, Pigster!!!
My son had a 30 minute explanation for his Japanese cartoons!
to be honest he got me hooked on a few. but don’t tell anyone!!!!!!!!!!!
Mike – Try some Wild Turkey Long Branch. Elijah, Bookers, and Evan Williams are among my favs.
Will do, let you know at the Fest my thoughts
Piggy – One thing man, are you going to the MetLife takeover? I’ve almost given up on it. I kinda wanna go though
I’ve been drinking buillit bourbon lately (not now)
Bullit Rye is good too
I drank that a few weeks ago at a party, literally staggered out of that one. Fell asleep at the foot of the bed. lol
I’m out. Later all.
I’m out as well!
It’s been fun for change!!!!!!!!!!
Mike
If there is a big enough group willing to go from here – yes
But I don’t know, I’m leaning NO. Anyone else have any thoughts?
Really out now, I’ll check back tomorrow for your response
I buy 5 cases of avocados a week.
Cases? Wtf?
He owns a sushi restaurant. LOL
That makes sense
You saw draft date sir ?
Got it Toba. Thanks
👍👍
Later Y’all been fun
Lol Piggy
You’re not the only one that likes to rub them all over you. 😉
Avacado bath
I am no one’s enemy, mf13ss, unless you threaten me, my family, or friends. I didn’t choose you as an enemy either.
I’d roll the dice on a 24 yr old Paxton Lynch if he gets cut!!!
Goin into only his 3rd year, big boy 6-7, 245,
Learn his craft from bench till 17’s guaranteed $$, contract, or career expires,
and maybe something comes of him??
3 yrs younger than current #3
but then
I’d guess we could take our own high draft pick at QB in o19 who’d be ready
in a similar time frame while being even younger than Paxton
though Lynch wouldn’t cost a high o19 draft pick
Hmmmm
Quite the debate that the guy on my left, and right shoulder are having…
RG3, Josh Dobbs, Matt Barkley, etc ???
Glennon Na he’s older than Fales/Oz…
C’Mon Saturday,
GOFINS!!!
Ride it out with Fales. Playing behind an OL that wont make the roster is not a good evaluation.
If Miami has to play either of the back up QB, the defense is going to need to dominate.
I’m hoping the D will be dominant, regardless of the O’s performance. No more long 3rd down conversions given up and last drive comebacks allowed.
AND, hoping no critical injuries.
Yes

M , you seem like a very health and wellness (mental and physical) type of person.. smoking would be SO Anti health and wellness it surprised ne us all .. so yes a compliment.. i am a well over a pack a day guy.. i know its no good for me, but it allows me to take a few minutes at work away from the hustle, bustle and noise of the office to reassess tge day and think what i need to prioritize next .. could this be done without smoking ? Likely, but also likely i wouldnt stop to take the time without a reason 😎
____________________________________________________
Manitoba…MF-13
Your brain is fooling itself, “it allows you to do something?” that’s the reason you smoke?
The reason you smoke is it releases endorphin’s in your brain and your brain thinks it needs this. you are addicted to the most addictive drug ever, and you also receive all the toxic chemicals that come with it.
when i was 18 I smoked, But I loved to chase woman at the night clubs and at about 25 i realized that smoking caused me to have a stinch about myself…I smelled, I was driving down the road with my good friend Mark and i told him i was going to throw my cigarettes out the window, he said NO give them to me, then he said you won’t be able to quit after taking my ciggs.
well i never smoked again and my friend Mark is now living in NH with stage 4 lung cancer.
It was tough the first week, after that it was a cake walk, My friend Mark just recently quit with the help of chantix, if that can make him quit it must be very good.
Manitoba & MF-13 I highly advise you to quit smoking… you should try Chantix
Gase said the backup quarterback is on the roster. That’s the end of it. We don’t have an issue with a backup quarterback. Everything is fine. We shouldn’t be looking for replacements.
At least in his opinion, which of course is all that matters.
Or maybe it’s what he wants other teams to think, whether it’s the case or not. There’s always a chess game being played.
I think thats accurate, though im not sure im comfortable enough to agree with that. Its probably a bad time in the process to look to replace them though. If we had a vet become available and could get them on the cheap though, like Schaub, id probably be in on it.
What Gase says is what he means. He’s a straight shooter, that’s why his press conferences are so refreshing. He tells it like he sees it.
Wow, just got done reading all of yesterdays posts and all I can remember is that racist avocado’s monkey fuck beets with ammo….or did I read something wrong?
You got the gist of it
Game day bitches!
College games too, UCF plays tonight
Yes, going to watch that one
LOL @ BBM – There was some strange, yet amusing things being said yesterday
Holy shit. Were you guys dropping acid yesterday, or what?
Would any of theses guys be on our radar if they’re cut?
Id give a look at Chance Warmack. He hasnt been awful, but he also hasnt lived up to his first round grade. I still think he is better than any of our reserve OL, possibly better than Davis as well.
I agree.
Mikey you are going to like the Woodford Reserve the best, thats my prediction. Evan Williams is decent but not as good as the Woodford, nor the Elijah Craig you have. Knob Creek as Naples said is also pretty good.There is also a brand Bulleit which is really good and if you want something really different and delicious, Jefferson’s Ocean is a really good bourbon. They age it at sea for the last year or so in the aging process and it gives it a unique flavor.
I had bought the Woodford Reserve Cheery Smoked Barley, and was disappointed. Tried a normal bottle, and it was better. Still, so far I think the Elijah Craig is the smoothest.
I have a 4K show called Bourbontucky recorded, I’ve watched it, and refer back to it. Very informative! There’s a segment on Jefferson’s Ocean, I thought that was pretty cool, the barrels sloshing the bourbon around on the open seas.
“”””Gase ready for Reg Season”””
aren’t we all?
Wayyy overdue according to yesterday’s debates, LOL😂

Woodford masters collection standard, not the cherry is really good, but the double oaked is probably the best. They also have a white corn, but i havent tried it so im not sure.
” “Did you see me in a Dolphins uniform? I had no business playing that season. I wouldn’t have admitted it, either. These guys get so sensitive about everything. Adrian had better get over himself. We were all great. But at the end, we all smelled like a baby’s diaper.”
— Chris Carter defending his comment that Adrian Peterson doesn’t have much left in the tank.
Mike – I generally stay away Friday m flavored bourbon. If you want to spend some bucks, try the Wild Turkey Decades. Runs about $150. Good stuff.
I dont think the Cherry is flavored, its just casked in cherry barrels. I agree though im not a fan of any flavoring in bourbons or scotches. They have a beautiful natural taste already.
What about Saturday nights? lol
Go Ryan!!! Go Phins!!!
Hmmm what about Devante Parker for Dante Fowler (Jags) straight up. Would you do this trade?
Least according to ones sportsbook, “Dolphins are +500 to make the playoffs.” Think would go with over the 6.5 instead, but 5-1 on that not such a bad bet either.
28 thru o18 RG3…
I’d definitely consider (if cut)!!!
GOFINS!!!
I have NP with Fales though,
but RG3 could still become something!!!
Wasn’t he rookie if the year in o12, before knee injury??
Mobile backup to THill, I’m considering if I’m Miami!!!
While we all realize that Gase stated our backup QB is already on our roster, there is always… ALWAYS something that can change plans. For instance… when Mr. Pennington was surprisingly cut by the stej in ’08, we hopped all over him.
I agree with KV above. Should RG3 get cut, I’d hop all over that. He’d be a VERY dangerous (in a good way) backup QB to Tannehill.

Mike E called my bluff last night (I could no longer keep a straight face, Mike! WELL DONE, Brother!) about avocados and racism… I’m STILL LMAO about it! And this was in response to the PC narrative about ‘monkey-ing around, monkey biz, monkey-ing it up’ (whatever the term was) being RACIST in nature. Welp… here ya go! 😆
Monkey around and Monkey things up are literally different words
I don’t judge kids for swinging on the monkey bars
I don’t judge Roger Egbert for giving monkey shines 2 1/2 stars
And I don’t judge this dog for letting the below happen
The word monkey can be appropriate
But I think it’s suspicious to use what appears to be a made up phrase to discourage people from voting for a black politician
And if politician blows on a dog whistle like that one
Then denies it later
I don’t just think he’s racist – I think he’s a coward too
RG3’s problem has never been his athletic ability, its very poor decision making. A lot of his issues was ego too, and clashing of egos with his coaches. He seems to be getting things straightened out, but he wouldnt be my first option of players to be our backup, but i could see the benefit of having him over Fales/Osweiler/Petty
The Giants, if they dont keep 3 QB’s on the 53 will have to cut either Davis Webb or Kyle Lauetta. Id be really interested in either of these over anyone we currently have as our backup. Webb was a guy i liked for us in his draft year, and Lauetta is a guy i liked last year as a developmental guy.
I’d think Giants keep 3 QB’s
Damn the Jags are stacked at passrusher:
Calais Campbell, Hunter Dimick, Taven Bryan, Yannick Ngakoue, Dawuane Smoot, Malik Jackson, Marcell Dareus, Dante Fowler
Not sure if was true or not but if is Gronk is not as foolish as he seems. He said in an article a week or two ago that he has never touched one dollar of his NFL salary and has lived off his endorsement money since he was drafted.
IF true, he’s a smart dude.
Jay Leno did that with his Tonight Show money. Banked it and lived off what he made doing comedy.
Any questions as to why I wanted us to draft him so badly?
I thought it was because his name sounds like a Star Wars character.
Speaking of Star Wars..

D – I think I might do the Parker/Fowler trade. I just don’t think Parker is ever going to put it together for us, which is damn unfortunate.
There’s this old man who lives in the building next to me

I suppose if Harrison FORD (Han Solo) were to have mated with some kind of alien: POONA FORD!
But in ALL seriousness, Poona is a STUD when it comes to stopping the run. Matt Miller (@nfldraftscout) and I have talked about Poona since well before the Draft. We still can’t believe he went undrafted. There must have been some character flaw in Poona that caused all 32 teams to pass on him in the Draft.
Leave it to Sneaky Pete (Carroll) to give a guy a chance and reap the rewards of having faith in a player. Poona was absolutely a GREAT PLAYER at Texas.

In my ignorant past, I couldn’t stand Jay Leno. I’ve since come to realize that he’s one of the GOOD guys out there. I now have MAJOR respect for that man… for all he does and for what he represents.
Leno is another SMART individual… so as to bank his ‘Tonight Show’ $$$.
I think Leno also owns hundreds of classic cars and motorcycles. So maybe that’s also an investment for him.
FACT!
Yeah, he has a sweet collection of cars, I wish I had a few of them
Without looking up Jay Leno’s debut on TV, I distinctly remember him on “Good Times”. Mind you, it was a re-run that I’d seen in more recent years. That chin, man! I was like, “OH! THAT’S a VERY YOUNG Jay Leno!!!”. And sure enough, he was in the credits at the end of the show!
Oh boy… here we go again…
Wouldn’t collusion be if all the owners, or even a majority of the owners got together and decided not to sign Kaepernick to a contract. If they all individually didn’t want any part of him, that’s not collusion, and the case is so weak, it can’t win.
Starters for tonight? Bubble guys who need to show something.
Ndamukong Suh is gone. So are the 13 penalties he accounted for last year, second most among all defensive tackles. Miami’s defensive line, by the way, had more penalties than any other last season.
Mike Pouncey is gone. So are his nine penalties. And Jermon Bushrod and his seven penalties are gone, too. The Miami offensive line had the most pre-snap penalties and penalty yards in the NFL last season.
Receiver Jarvis Landry and his seven penalties are gone, too. The Dolphins receivers were 31st in penalties and penalty yards last season.
Godchaux has had some issues with encroachment as well. He needs to clean that up.
Vincent Taylor might be the surprise player at DT this year. He’s had a good camp and PS.

I believe Gase really likes Sterup and Matthews might be our back-up C with Brendel out for the last month.
I’m thinking the 4 back-up OL will be Sterup and Young, Asiata, and Matthews (if neither Brendel nor Larson are healthy.)
Starting Baker tonight is a calculated risk. We need him, but he needs as many snaps as possible to continue to learn.
Taylor on the other hand must show that he is more dependable against the run than Kendall Langford. I hope we can keep both of those guys actually, but that’s 5 DTs. I’d rather keep fewer LBs and more DTs (for the Dolphins in 2018, not every time or every year).
I think Taylor makes the team, he’s been good this offseason. He also bats down passes and blocks kicks. Some guys have to play in this game.
back to last night … I love coffee.
Black and strong. no cream, no sugar.
But I try not to drink any after supper
(unless I plan on partying all night).
I feel bad for Pittman and Woodward because they are good, but buried. I hope they look good tonight and make the practice squad. Same with LB Poling, CB Davis, and CB Armstrong.
Tim
Godchaux might’ve picked that jumping the snap shit from Suh. Hope he sees it could get him cut.
Phillips had a good encroachment penalty in that goal line stand. He only lost a yd and got in the TE’s head, who then jumped and lost them the full 5.
Godchaux isn’t getting cut, he seems to be inactive tonight which signals that. He had a encroachment penalty in the 1st PS game right off the bat though.
