Cutdown Day: PATS DISCUSSION thread

[tombonneau]

I'll take Branch and Gaffney over Shiancoe any day of the week and twice on Sunday.

Forget Shiancoe. At least he is proven NFL caliber player when healthy. Am I missing something or is Eric Kettani actually making the 53 over Branch ???

Cuts aren't done and both Reiss and Bedard seem to think some players who practice could still be cut by 9pm

Noted. Plus:

Don't forget he needs roster spots for Brian Waters and both roster and CAP space for possibly Andre Carter.

Dan Koppen was released.

Thanks for playing a huge part in costing us the Giants regular season game, Mr. Brown! If not for your pass interference near the goal line, they probably don't even make the playoffs. Thanks again for all the memories! :bye2:

I hope he is just on the season ticket waiting list.

Maybe Sergio Brown will now look for the football while in the air in the CFL.

So ........

6 cornerbacks on the 53 man roster or 5 cornerbacks on the 53 man roster?

That is the question!

 

[Halifax_Pats_Fan]

As a fan of this team I have confidence in the coaches decisions.

For me it was sad to see Koppen go...we will field a very competitive team and that is a very exciting thing to look forward to at the end of the day...!

Same goes for WRs. Holley seems to be out of the door but Taylor and Ebert both stick for now. Perhaps todays padded practice is their final showdown? Or then they both make it and one of them will be cut later on to free a spot for Branch/Gaff.

I can't see anyway that Holley or Taylor make the 53 man roster.

 

[UofApatsfan]

Well the trio of useless safeties who were on the field too much last year are all gone/on IR. That's good news in my book.

 

[Finnishfan]

Well Taylor is at the padded practice, while Holley isn't.

That practice is most likely just a smokescreen for PS eligible players who are getting cut, so other teams would have as little time as possible to scout them before their waiver time expires.

 

[resdubwhite]

With Brown released, the secondary seems to be taking shape.

One must have a scapegoat.

What to do?

Cuts aren't due until 9, so I'm sure there are more than a few players at that practice who won't be on the roster tomorrow morning.

 

[patsfan13]

Daniel Fells at least found his way into MetLife Stadium Wednesday night. Shiancoe has not practiced since the first week of training camp.

Branch >>>>> Shiancoe
Gaffney >>>> Shiancoe

You might to let BB know so he doesn't screw up.

 

[ATippett56]

You might to let BB know so he doesn't screw up.

Like one of my binkies last year, James Sanders?

I know, fans with their stupid opinions on the internet, always questioning the perpetually flawless decisions of management. Everyone knows messageboards are for calmly & rationally discussing the facts of the past and patiently waiting for the future to unfold.
