All rosters must be cut down to 75 players on Tuesday 8/26. Then on Saturday 8/30 all rosters must be cut down to the final 53. So who do you guys think are going to be the first five axed on Tuesday?
I am going to go with:
WR Horace Gant
CB Cedrick Holt
LB David Holloway
DE Dorian Smith
S Patrick Ghee

Fox Among Three Released
Well looks like we're starting early this year. Vernon Fox, Babtunde Oshinowo, and Dorian Smith were just released. Two more to go by Tuesday. Hey at least I got one right so far.

Wow, Vernon Fox is already gone. That say a lot about Kareem Moore and Chris Horton, who have shown that they belong. Considering that we lost 47-3, I thought Moore had a pretty good game. While he did take a bad angle on Stewart's run, I'll assume that he made that mistake because he's used to chasing down college running backs at Nichols St, who probably weren't as fast. He will learn. Last night sucked, I know, but our late round picks have been damn good.

I love Moore. Although he is small he makes up for it with hits. He also grabbed a pick. Horton is a true strong safety, who makes big hits but isn't as strong in pass coverage. I would like to see him replace Doughty. (who had a terrible game)

Yeah, Doughty hasn't looked too good. Move Landry back to SS and start Moore at FS.

I am all for Moore starting over Doughty, but instead of moving Landry back to SS I think we should experiment with Kareem at SS and keep Landry back at FS.

The whole freaking defense had a terrible game, why do you people insist on focusing on just doughty? i'm sorry but i don't think a rookie is the answer. if schweigert were still around, he'd be a better option than putting in a rookie.

But it's not like Schweigert left on his own terms. He was sent packing because he wasn't a better option than either rookie

True, still I just think people are being unreasonable and have super high expectations of Doughty. And I don't think Horton (as much as I like him) or Moore are a better option than Doughty.

Fair enough. Well, this is something I've been saying for about four years now (much to the scorn of a few here), but I think this year we may see it more than we ever have before. Shawn Springs at FS. Which would slide Landry to SS. I'm not saying that's going to be a permanent starting lineup, just that I could see that look often.

[Warren85Ellard]

After last night, I'm leaning Moore towards Kareem. He opened my eyes with a nice hit against the Jets and then looked like a solid starter last night. Chris Horton should stick around too though.

[vallin21]

I have been a Doughty critic from the begining. The reason he played those last 4 games in 07 is because there was very little depth. Now we have compition and he cant beat out Horton. I wouldnt cut him but I sure as hell wouldn't start him!
