Surprise Cuts

wilsowilso · 07-23-2007, 05:54 PM

I'm not sure that we will have any surprises that don't make the team, but who would be the best candidates? Cutting Collins would not be very shocking, but if they cut Brunell I think that would be a big surprise because we all know that Gibbs really values his leadership. That would mean that Bramlett really steps up or something we don't really expect.

Nice thread. I think anyone on the line (Salavea, Wynn, and Daniels) could be surprising. And of course every year we ask ourselves is this the year Rock and/or Ade get cut.

True story that I love telling. I got to work a birthday party at Portis' house last year on the last day of cuts. All the RBs and WRs were there. The whole time I kept looking at Rock and wondering if he'd been cut since I had been there all day and didn't know who were in the final cuts. He looked sorta down but not really. I was too afraid to ask though. I kept thinking...man what if this guy just got cut. That's the one thing I really remember from that party was just wondering the entire time if the dude has just been sh*t canned. Oh yeah and 5'7" my ass. The guy is no taller than 5'5".

You want to talk big surprise.... what if they cut Portis...lol.... I know it won't happen.... but now lets see how many people attack me for this.

James Thrash?

Thrash was our best receiver last year. Of course, Moss will easily rebound and be better this year, but I think Thrash at least deserves strong consideration for the No. 2 receiver job.

Not sure what hes done so wrong that he doesn't deserve a look.

I don't think we will see any "surprise" cuts at all.

TheMalcolmConnection · 07-23-2007, 07:55 PM

If for any reason I could see them making some cuts to make room for Cooley. I could see Big Joe going sadly.

Ade Jimoh or Thrash. The skins are loaded at Corner and WR.

I wouldn't exactly call us loaded at wide reciever.

Rock and Thrash solidify their roster spot ever year with their ability to play Special Teams. Those are the cuts that would shock me. Another thing that would suprise me is if one of those younger no name DE's makes the 53 man roster.

+1 Jimoh and Thrash are the gunners on special teams and are very consistent performers. I too would be shocked if they got the axe.

I can see some vets getting axed but not any that will be a surprise. As already mentioned: Rock C., J.T.,Ade, Wynn, Salavea. Salavea might actually be a surprise. I expect him to make the roster. The cap dictates a lot of what they do with these older guys, but i defer to Scneed, Canuck on that front.
