Do they have to bring people in?
When do they start cutting down their rosters?

 

[unionjack8]

they dont have to get down to 75 players until august 27. I would imagine they want more camp bodies who can play in the next two games to spell guys they know are gonna make the roster

I heard it was Brian Waters.











Not.

A bit of a surprise about Taylor. He played a lot in the game.

Interesting, Monte Taylor popped a few times to me during the game. Thought he might be a PS candidate, guess not.

The pro personnel have done a great job but whoever brought in that punter needs his head examined.

+1 surprised about Monte.

 

[viman96]

Did they sign anyone for these cuts?

 

[MichaelWinicki]

He was released because he wouldn't change the spelling of his first name to "Monte".


True story.

True story.

You sure he wasn't showing the full Monte too much?

Wasn't Taylor off-sides on one play? If so, maybe Garrett is sending a message to the younger guys. On the other hand, it is pretty apparent he had no chance of making the 53. I think they already know which DL they are going to keep. No need to just keep this guy taking up practice and game reps.

They need it examined again as they have brought in two ex-Arena Leaguers. Must be part of the "benefit" of having Will McClay in the process.

also surprised about taylor. not that i thought before the miami game that he had any chance to make the team, but he did seem to be fairly disruptive.

i wonder if it's one of those deals where they know they don't have a roster spot for him but someone else will give him a shot.

Taylor was offsides two plays in a row. I didn't see the first one for some reason, but heard his name called for the offsides. The next play he was clearly lined up in the neutral zone all by himself with his hand on the ground even with the ball, and a flag was thrown for that, too.
