Re: Final Cuts From Around the NFL
 

For the most the roster is set. I could see maybe 2 or 3 pieces changing.

Re: Final Cuts From Around the NFL
 

So I follow a fair number of Skins on Twitter and of the ones that made yesterday's roster, that I follow, Stallworth was the only one that has said absolutely nothing (bad grammar) about making the team. Not trying to read too much into his silence, but I wonder if him and his agent are laying low for a few more days until the dust clears.

So true , as long as we are kicking ass . As far as merriweather , he actually bragged during last year ( radio shows ) that he did his own thing , no way I bring him here .

[quote=GridIron26;830662]Maybe we should check out and see if we can get Igor?

He would be awesome at tying up blockers and allowing Rak and Kerrigan to get to the QB.

Definitely someone worth looking at.

Re: Final Cuts From Around the NFL
 

Wonder why the Pats released Meriweather?


I know they had issues with him "free lancing" (aka lavar arrington'ing it up) and benched his ass. Wonder if that came back into play.

edit: I think I answered my own question.

[quote]WBZ-TV’s Levan Reid On Meriweather:

Brandon Meriweather has been in Bill Belichick’s dog house for over a year now. Those days are over, word is Brandon Meriweather has been released.

Meriweather is a 2-time pro bowler and one of the hardest hitters in the league but he loves to freelance. In a Bill Belichick system, freenlancing is not welcome. The Pats have also released James Sanders. So now the safeties in this team are Patrick Chung, Josh Barrett, Sergio Brown and James Ihedigbo.[/quote]


If BB doesn't like freelancers on his team, what does he think Haynesworthless is going to do?

Re: Final Cuts From Around the NFL
 

I'm sure this incident didn't endear him with Belichick.

Re: Final Cuts From Around the NFL
 

Everette Brown cut by Panthers. Too small for 4-3 DE. I always thought that he was playing out of position. Could be a fine pass rusher at OLB for a 3-4 team. He has excellent speed, as I recall.

Tyrone MacKenzie cut by Tampa Bay. I like him at ILB.

Igor Olshansky would be a nice pickup, IMO. The choice is between a player who is a run stopper and not a pass rusher or one of two players who are neither (Golston and Scott). All three of them are about the same age, so that's not a factor. I think our DL rotation was hurt badly when we lost JJ for the season.

Can anybody think of a guard we could possibly pick up? We're hurting at that position too, IMO.

As I've said before, I think losing JJ was a blow but not as bad as people are making it out to be. For one, he was an unknown so it's really hard to say "how much of a blow" it really is. If there's any upside to his injury at all, we lost him early on. It's not like we lost him in the fifth game of the season and now the defense really has to make major adjustments.

In terms of rotation and depth, I think we'll be just fine. If Carriker can find his groove this year, the defensive line will be pretty good.

Derrick Dockery signed a 1 year deal with the Dallas Cowboys.

Wouldn't it be something if Orakpo or Kerrigan torched Dockery and annihilated Romo? It would make me giggle like a little school girl.

Did Holliday make the Cardinals? What a job by Shanah-allen in getting two starters for a couple of throwaways and a 6th round pick.

...and all of his draft picks are signed. (including 3 PS players)

Holliday, and who is the other throwaway you're referring to?
