Final Cuts Looming - any surprises on the horizon

So I'd imagine we'll start cutting people tomorrow, even though Tuesday is the final day.

I don't expect any surprises. One player I'm curious about is Nick Barnett. I saw him in one play last game. It also made me think about Quan Sturdivant. I'd like to see him get some playing time because I remember he had some big potential coming out of college.

I'm not worried about our CB's, the addition of Biggers, Amerson and Minnifield make them much better. I feel Minniefield will surprise everyone, Amerson will get better as the season progresses.

I am not sure why people keep saying how bad LeRibeus is playing. I watched every play the last two games and thought he has done well. What plays are we talking about, because I heard all the Leribeus bashing here and went and looked at the games and could not see the terrible play. I don't think he gets cut. I don't think Wilson gets cut either, especially with Crawford.

Where are you getting the idea that Amerson didn't play well? He had the one long pass where in did pass interference and a penalty, but i saw a lot of athletic ability and wonderful closing ability on Wide Receivers. He seems to really want to come up and lay a hit.

I thought Wilson was on the bubble with Crawford, but he stays now. This Pat White stuff needs to stop. Hankerson has too much upside to cut him and keep Stallworth instead.

I agree with every point you make. Good post. :food-smil

Wtf? How can people not be excited about the play of amerson and chase minny? If both guys stay healthy they will show the talent and the physicality to be starters next year. The cornerback position is not a weakness on this team. More worried about safety and ilb depth on the d.

Tanard Jackson is the wild card at S, something tells me he will be on the roster after he gets reinstated. Merriweather, Jackson, Doughty and Rambo doesn't sound bad. Jackson could be very valuable in the second half of the season.

Amerson definetly is playing like an average rookie, not horrible, but yes bad but shows potential in time.
Wilson bashing I don't support. Not a flashy guy but moderately dependable and still needed. He is in the final yer of contract and shouldn't be resign.
Biggers hasn't shown why we thought he would be a gem, but perhaps can hit his stride during the season.
Some of you guys crack me up in good ways, have good POV's, others are overlooking that the run defense should still be solid w/ an increase pass rush, and even everything said the secondary may look similar but we have to hope Merriweather returns and the big plays don't happen. Which I think we will limit.
For the LeRibeus supporters or disbelievers he hasnt performed in preseason...Really? Really!!
I like our TE situation. Fred is back. We will bring Reed along but yeah Paul may not be who we need other than on special teams. Paulsen will pick up slack.

Lastl, This team has not been the most talented in the NFCE this millennium, but they have a good locker room and I think they play their asses off.

Unless Barnett just isn't healthy he's got a spot. It's crazy thin behind 59 and he was brought in to back London up.
