Ralph Brown was cut. The coaches have been impressed with Rufus. He and Garnell Wilds both have a very good shot at making the roster, possibly supplanting Bauman; though I think one or both of them will be signed to the practice squad, since they're rookies. Actually, Jimoh is in that mix to replace Bauman, also. Despite the rampant ridicule he gets on this site, Jimoh has a decent shot at making the roster, due to his special teams skills. This position is probably going to be one of the toughest calls for the coaches.

You need to also factor in that if The Ade plays more than one position, then that frees up more spots for guys like Pita and Rufus....

And you have to give me this one - The Ade is a much, much better dresser than Deon Sanders.

What's the difference between Deon Sanders and Michael Jackson?

One dresses like a pimp to impress his boys,
The other dresses like a gimp to caress his boys.

thanx ralph brown was no good for the giants either, You think Bowen is gonna amke it i see no value in him at all..no very aware no very fast and can hit hard but thats one out of three. to joe crisp

Joecrisp - I think you're more or less dead on with your picks. Except for the "M" before Hasselbeck.

AJFC - I like how you refer to Ade as "The Ade." I think he ought to refer to himself in the third-person as "The Ade" in interviews.

I've been thinking, he would be such a great athlete to endorse Gateroade. Can't you see him running around, with that ridiculous gatorade colored green sweat, and saying stuff like, "The Ade needs the Gator-Ade."

He could also endorse:

Band-Ades
Power-Ade (although his multi-million dollar contract with Gator-Ade might prohibit this)
Ade-didas

pretty much with joe, i like simon too, but think that with thrash and morton (and scott on the PS) his return skills may not be used and rock (also a gunner) would probably have a better shot...

from the other side, heres the cuts i think we'll see, if there's a reasonable chance they'll be cut, they'll have an asterik... 23 cuts need to be made...

63 Ferrario, Bill C * (still an O-linemen on a depleted unit)
37 Brown, Rufus CB * (depth)
38 Wilds, Garnell CB * (depth)
23 Jimoh, Ade DB * (mult. positions, ST, but he still sucks as a CB)
29 Franz, Todd DB * (migh be kept for depth, but hasn't done much to earn a spot)
71 Evans, Demetric DE
74 Wright, Darrell DE
78 Killings, Cedric DT
73 Boschetti, Ryan DT
78 Killings, Cedric DT
40 Cartwright, Rock FB * (betts took snaps, rock/simon lose (probably))
6 Kimrin, Ola K (surprised he made the first cut over stempke)
54 Smith, Clifton LB * (do they want 7 LBs? barrow is injured)
57 Clemons, Chris LB
2 Hamdan, Gibran QB (nice guy, but isn't going to help the team)
46 Betts, Ladell RB * (probably safe, only real running threat behind portis)
32 McCullough, Sultan RB
31 Simon, John RB * (its probably him or rock)
39 Clark, Ryan S
79 Elisara, Pita T * (how much depth do they want?)
67 Terrell, Daryl T * (how much depth do they want?)
48 Stephens, Leonard TE
88 Royal, Robert TE (do they want a 5th TE/HB?)
14 Douglas, Dameane WR
15 Dillard, Sean WR
16 Williams, Jafar WR
18 Scott, Gari WR * (probably a PS guy, the 4th WR wont play much, the 6th wont play at all)

now if they cut all but 2 of the 3 RBs and 2 of the *s, that'd be 23... i'm sure i'm missing some people though...

I've been thinking, he would be such a great athlete to endorse Gateroade. Can't you see him running around, with that ridiculous gatorade colored green sweat, and saying stuff like, "The Ade needs the Gator-Ade."

Problem is.... The Ade hasn't broken a sweat yet this season.

The reason Ade hasn't broken a Sweat, is because he as dry as "Burnt Toast"!

Heh! Heh! Ho! Ho! The Ade Jimoh must go!

The most surprising cuts will include Cartwright and Thrash,
