Mario Butler (MacMahon tweet)
Orie Lemmon (Eatman)
Shaun Chapas (Eatman)

That makes it six by my count.

A year with Mike Woicik and this guy will be in the mix for a starting spot next year.

I was really hoping these three would be on the PS. I would like M Johnson there as well.

....I was surprised he got cut.

Any news on Cummings. I didn't see his name on the final 53. He really showed up during the preseason.

Not sure if he qualifies. And yes, at times he looked good. At others, especially on the two TD's that Miami scored, he looked awful.

Who is the 6th other than AOA and Teddy Williams?

EDIT: Never mind, WR Andre Holmes.

Funny how a lot of guys were hating and hoping for AOA to get CUT but most fail to realize that he was only 20yrs old from a small college when drafted (injured) last year. He's definitely got speed and, in my opinion, showed up in preseason this year. And because he was drafted INJURED last year, he did NOT have the benefit of OTA's and Training Camp last year which is normally good for 1,500 reps. With this year's NFL STRIKE, he got maybe 500 reps and some preseason snaps but he was still only 21yrs old. Next year (after a full season of strength training with Woicik), he'll be 22yrs old and MORE stronger, faster, and 'instinctive' with the benefit of 1,500 snaps after participating in OTA's and Training Camp. I believer both AOA and Mario Butler (who's only 185lbs) will come back 'changed' players with more muscle and explosiveness. They will BOTH be competing next year for either starting or backup roles. And, we all know that both Sensabaugh and Elam have ONLY 1yr contracts and TNEW is probably gone after this year.

If your going to base your whole little lament/apologetic around AOA's age, at least get it right.

AOA was born 4/10/1988, and the '10 Draft was in late April, that made AOA 22-years old at the time he was drafted.

He's 23 now.

Sorta takes the wind out of your sails doesn't it?

Start your backpedal............now.

I really like the practice squad so far. Especially the Andre Holmes signing.

Would have liked to see Manny Johnson though.

Not sure why Greenhouse is still around. Signed Fiammeta at FB for the 53, and have Chapas for the practice squad.

I looked at his combine results and he seems like he has good size, speed (4.53), vertical (35), broad jump, 3-cone drill.

He come from a really small school (? Hillsdale).
