[DCM]

Punt returner was cut. That's... interesting...

[The Zipp]

Not really seeing any huge surprises or shocks.  Will need to see how the depth chart is sorted out. 

[pdirks67]

Kornelson cut, but Kyle Samson is still on the roster.

Gabe Wallace hangs around. I thought he held his own on Friday night.

[bwiser]

I kind of was surprised that Chris Ivy was out right released. I thought he would have at least stuck around on the practice roster. There were too many players that made the decision to let them go easy by their play on Friday.

[pdirks67]

I don't see Ontarla Wilson or Myron Mitchell listed as a cut or PR addition. I guess both of them made the roster? Mitchell as return-man, perhaps?

[BomberFan73]

Surprised both Petrishen & Thomas were cut.  With Gemmel on PR does that mean it'll be Wilson/Gauthier/Kramdi?

[GOLDMEMBER]

I kind of was surprised that Chris Ivy was out right released. I thought he would have at least stuck around on the practice roster. There were too many players that made the decision to let them go easy by their play on Friday.

I totally agree. Very disappointed with this crop of import talent at multiple positions. I don't know what people saw at practice but as far as game action goes, it is a failing grade. Time will tell...

[BomberFan73]

New Draft pick Clercius makes AR?

[GOLDMEMBER]

QB Wilson hangs around. I guess the 26 year old showed enough.

[Slingin Sammy]

Surprised Rivers wasn't kept on PR.  Who do we have as our backup Import D End?  Did we keep Garbut?

[GOLDMEMBER]

Punt returner was cut. That's... interesting...

Tait said he got hurt and he was cut.

[kkc60]

I totally agree. Very disappointed with this crop of import talent at multiple positions. I don't know what people saw at practice but as far as game action goes, it is a failing grade. Time will tell...

Yeah this crop of rookies certainly didn't look great, hopefully when they actually hit the field that changes.

[Waffler]

Rosery, Rivers and Smith surprised me. Rivers I thought was our best pass rusher out of the rookies. Maybe he turned down PR. never know.

[pdirks67]

QB Wilson hangs around. I guess the 26 year old showed enough.

I guess we have no other choice right this second. I would think he's got a very tenuous grip on the QB3 position.
