Cuts I hope to see this week

Carl Bradford is our top ranked ILB, at #28 overall in the NFL Preseason by PFF.

Jake Ryan #41, Nate Palmer #55. Sam Barrington didn't crack the top 86... At some point, logic has to outweigh favoritism in our final 53 if we hope to be better than last year. Bradford had a very low 10 snaps last night, and still played well. One of our only ILBs with positive grades through all 3 games.

Jay Elliott, James Vaughters and Adrian Hubbard are our top 3 ranked OLBs, followed by Peppers and Mulumba.

Mike Pennel, Christian Ringo and Lavon Hooks are our top DEs at #33, #35 and #45 in the NFL.

You want to cut 4 of our top performers? Why?

88 on the roster right now and need to get to 75 on Tue. Jordy to IR is one, so only 12 to cut, don't expect anything significant this week.

I don't see Ron Zook in that list. Can we cut him too? 

I agree  that Barrington is not living up to the hype.

 

I never said to cut Pennel--I love the guy.  I also love J.Elliott, and hope he makes a big jump this year.  And Vaughters has flashed some stuff; he's not on my list.   Nor Is Jake Ryan.

 

I am simply going on what I have seen and what I have read from practices.   

 

I may need to re-examine Carl Bradford--I have seen him make plays, but just not enough.

 

As for Hubbard, he's missed too many plays for me to have confidence in him.

 

I have not seen or heard one good thing about Ringo.  I've heard a few good things about Hooks, but when I've seen him play, he''s done nothing.

 

As for special teams, they looked much improved in some regards in preseason games 1&2--especially in coverage.   They looked pretty bad last night.  If Mike is co-coaching ST with Zook, I sincerely hope he takes the bull by the horns and kicks some tushy.

 

Go ahead and persuase me otherwise with my picks, but I'm less impressed by a rating than by examples of plays they make, and especially by consistency!   But, hey, I am not a professional.   But I DID stay at a Holiday Inn Express!

Since the Packers rescheduled Mondays practice to Tuesday I'm guessing all their cuts down to 75 will occur by the end of Monday. No sence having a guy your going to cut get injured in practice the day before you cut him.

Perry won't be getting cut. TT likely relies on the eye test more than anything PFF might have to say. Hates to cut his own picks right out of the gate and my guess is Ringo sticks.

I know, but how many chances does Perry gets?  He can't stay healthy and he rarely makes plays.

 

Final cuts are next Saturday, iirc.

He'll get to play out his contract, which has one year left on it.

The PFF rankings in the preseason are meaningless. Barrington is going against starters while Bradford is going against a lot of guys who'll be out of the league by this time next week.

More accurate.

 

 

People are lazy, so fans and sports writers/reporters like PFF rankings because it's a number that someone else came up with. The guys doing the rankings at PFF are fans, mostly from the UK. Anyone who wants to put stock into a ranking on American Football from 50 drunks in a bar, go ahead.

 

 

I get mine from 20 drunks on x4...drunks in the know I might add!

Only need to cut 12 to get down to 75 this week, so largely a junk cut.

 

Guys like Ed Williams, Harold Spears, Andy Philips, Lavon Hooks, Javess Blue(?), Josh Frances, etc... Are goners. Garth Gerhart finally gone ? There's better OL backups now. 

Sebetic, ? 

 

We'll see if Bradford survives. Two nice plays in two years isn't very inspiring. 

 

I hope he understands the wife's schitzu " lil pookie" needs security detail going forward.

I'm not making any predictions or wishes until I see Joe's consensus list. 

Not sure what else Myles White has to do to shake fans' and pundits' perception of him. He was Hundley's go-to guy all night last night.  I'd call his play last night the opposite of "inconsistent."

 

From my angle at the computer, it looked like he lost sight of the ball on the 2 pt. conversion, when the defender blocked his view.  Other than that one play, he was assignment-sure, consistently in the right place, consistently open, and consistently catching the ball. And the one-hander with the guy handcuffing his other hand backwards was just sick.  

 

Not trying to pick on you Royal Wulff, all the media seems to want to talk about is Janis' and Montgomery's potential, and the most they can muster about White is that he made a good case for the #5.  

 

Weird.  Meanwhile what I'm seeing is our #3 receiver when the regular season opens, with Janis and Montgomery just not quite ready yet.

 

Janis runs a seam route better than anyone not named Cobb.

 

He needs to learn the entire route tree & execute all the routes properly.

 

I think he'll get there. 

I'd much rather see them all get injured.

I think we start the season with White as #3 as well.   Even though the kid makes plays under the lights, I'm under the impression #12 isn't a fan of Jannis yet.  By seasons end, I think Janis takes over as #3.

So you're saying theres gonna be another injury to a WR? In order for Janis to take over no. 3 is if Cobb, Adams or montgomery get injured
