So maybe we could package Colt with one of our young defensive tackles and get a decent (not world-beating, just decent) offensive lineman?

I wouldn't trade Collins for a draft pick. Colt . . . . eh maybe, probably not.

I hope Antonio Dixon makes the cut. He is relentless. Dominique Dorsey I thought did alright, I hope he continues to make strides in his running game to garner a second look. I'm sold on Marko Mitchell, given the opportunity, he'll make a good backup should Thomas or Kelly go down this year. Another unsung hero yesterday was Hunter the punter, he is consistent and powerful punts.

The problem I see is Dorsey and Mason . Rock is a safe pair of hands in the return game . Dorsey can offer more as the No3 back spelling Portis and Betts but has had issues with ball security . He showed in the Steelers game he has some skills but the edge always goes to the incumbent .

Mason doesn't play teams so he is compeating with Betts - which is never going to happen . Lets not forget Mason has been bumming around the league for a few years now and hasn't been able to break into the main rotation . He looked okay going up against dubious NFL talent but I still don't think he has done enough .

I also want to temper the Daniel hype . He is playin with a similar play book as Colt was last year . Colt is now trying to consume the real NFL offense . Colt is showing everyone that there was a very good reason he was a 6th round pick ... poor footwork, poor decisions and is proving to be uncoachable ...

I heard Mason say in an interview that he had been returning punts over the past few years and he was working on his kickoff return game while he had been bouncing around the league. He said he was trying to make himself more versatile in order to make teams.

I think we have to cut 5.

My five are Batiste, Grant, Hackett, Jackson, and Skolnitsky. There are a few more that need to go now but I think you keep some of the o-lineman on the roster for as long as you can just to take some reps off of the regulars.
