Jenkins and Jackson Return ... who do you cut?
 

On Monday, we will hopefully be 1-3, going into the bye week with a win, and having two weeks to prepare for the Cowboys. On Monday, Rob Jackson and Jarvis Jenkins both return to the locker room, their suspensions having been served. That means 2 players have to go. Is it a lock that both players come from the positions that Jenkins and Jackson are returning too? Or could an offensive player be one of the unlucky ones. I think the guys on the bubble include:
Royster,
Thompson (could he go back to the practice squad?)
Potter if Kai is healthy probably fills one.
Merling?
Tapp - I think he has his spot locked.

Any other names?
Will we be better with Jackson back in rotation with Orakpo?
Will Jenkins help the line tackle better?
inquiring minds want to know.

no way I cut either. Merling or Gumbs for me

Re: Jenkins and Jackson Return ... who do you cut?
 

I bet 5 quatloos on Royster being a surprise cut.

Re: Jenkins and Jackson Return ... who do you cut?
 

I'm going with Potter and Merling.

Re: Jenkins and Jackson Return ... who do you cut?
 

well, here are our inactives:

[B]Week 1[/B]
Pat White
Evan Royster
Jose Gumbs
Chris Neild
Rex Grossman
Brandon Meriweather
Josh LeRibeus

[B]Week 2[/B]
Jordan Pugh
Jose Gumbs
Josh LeRibeus
Kai Forbath
Chris Neild
Rex Grossman
Evan Royster

[B]Week 3[/B]
Chris Baker
Fred Davis
Kai Forbath
Rex Grossman
Jose Gumbs
Josh LeRibeus
Evan Royster


based on that, royster, gumbs, and leribeus are the most likely (outside potter). we still wasted a draft pick on leribeus though, so...

i'd guess potter and gumbs. if he were any good, he would have been on the field by now. I mean, if he can't play in this secondary, god help him.

The kicker and probably Merling. Although I could also see Neild as a possibilty.

Can Haslet count as a cut

Yes!! Please!!

Re: Jenkins and Jackson Return ... who do you cut?
 

Potter and Merling the magician.

Re: Jenkins and Jackson Return ... who do you cut?
 

Why are people saying Potter? You have to have a kicker. If you're cutting Potter, it's for Kai

Re: Jenkins and Jackson Return ... who do you cut?
 

Whoever we cut won't be missed. Hopefully Jenkins somehow energizes the d line. Not something to bet on but could happen. Jackson is more interesting. I think the defense is at a point where any standout needs to play a lot. What if Jackson makes some big plays like last year? Do you sit orakpo?

cause we don't need 2 kickers and 2 extra weeks should be enough for kai to be good to go. if there's some issue there (injury worse than most people think etc), please let us know.

Because we need to bring back Pat White.

Kai is still on the 53 man roster right?

Maybe I wasn't clear. People are saying we're going to cut Potter for either Jenkins or Jackson. What I'm saying is as soon as Forbath is healthy, which could be this weekend, Potter is gone. So I mean I guess if you lumped Forbath, Jackson, and Jenkins together then then yeah Potter put in that group of players who will likely be cut.
