I don't want to argue specifics. The final 4 or 5 are tough.

But like every year there will be 2 guys I didn't think should be cut that are cut and there will be 2 guys I'm really supprised that make the roster.

I tried to get a couple of surprises in there.

Didn't Ted Thompson trade Tony Moll at the last minute last year? And that one year he picked up Grant. There could still be something coming out of left field too.

Sounds like a very reasonable list, wpr. Of course, it gets easier to predict as the final cut date approaches, and we're close now. The decision on whether to IR Zombo will be interesting and will be based on medical information that we do not have access to. Like you, I am thinking that Brad Jones will be gone, though.

You're the second person to mention Dietrich-Smith as a possible long snapper. You guys must know something I don't, because I haven't heard anything about this.

But then I have wished for them to use a regular player as the LS for 10 years. It is kind of like having a 3rd QB. A waste of a roster spot but necessary. I would love to have to more spots open. They could have a 6th WR or 5th TE or 9th LB.

I didn't see the game and didn't see how Harrell performed. Is he really good enough to make us have 3 QBs?

I think the only way Harrell makes the team is if Matt Flynn is traded, or they know they are going to be able to trade Flynn. And Matt Flynn did not do good this preseason so I think that's unlikely. Especially with Carson Palmer coming back, the Bengals are gonna look to trade him so that's one less Matt Flynn team to trade with.

IMO, Harrell closed the gap between the two and Flynn will command too much money next season (IMO) to be a backup here. Unless he is content with being a backup and accepts less.

Harrell and Flynn both played behind a line that was being rotated constantly last night to get film against starters for individual evals.. both struggled but Harrell seemed much more poised than Flynn last night.

Flynn still has value around the league for his performance last season vs New England.. 1st start did well enough.

Yes, I see us having 2 QBs on the 53. Interesting what Pack said about that in his 53 thread.

But Flynn finished 2 for 10 for 12 yards and Harrell 3 for 5 for 21 yards.

Oops @ my math. I meant 15 passes, but I forgot to factor in the starters. 19 is even lower than I would have expected. I hope we got a good look at the backs.

Needs to work on getting that 2nd foot in but still a very good beating the CB and great catch away from his body with his long arms.

But yeah didn't notice many WR with the back-ups in. Crabtree showed up with Rodgers and I think once with the back-up guys.

Martha Careful (3h) : thank you Mucky for sticking up for me

Martha Careful (3h) : some of those people are smarter than you zero. However Pete Carroll is not

Mucky Tundra (7h) : Rude!

beast (8h) : Martha? 😋

Zero2Cool (11h) : Raiders hired someone from the elderly home.

dfosterf (14h) : I'm going with a combination of the two.

beast (15h) : Either the Cowboys have no idea what they're doing, or they're targeting their former OC, currently the Eagles OC

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Fake news. Cowboys say no

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.

beast (23-Jan) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?

beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you

wpr (22-Jan) : Z, glad you are feeling better.

wpr (22-Jan) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.

wpr (22-Jan) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : I've been near death ill last several days, finally feel less dead and site issues.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : just kidding...it was down

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious

beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere

beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.

beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.

beast (21-Jan) : You can't assume Ohio State would of won the Michigan game...

beast (21-Jan) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered

wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.

wpr (21-Jan) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.

wpr (21-Jan) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : A great game. Give ND credit for coming back, although I am please with the outcome.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : FG to make it academic

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : and there's the dagger

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ooooo 8 point game with 4 minutes to go!

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ooooooooohhhhhh he missed!

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Ooooo that completion makes things VERY interesting

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Game not over yet

beast (21-Jan) : Oh yeah, Georgia starting quarterback season ending elbow injury

beast (21-Jan) : Sadly something happened to Georgia... they should be playing in this game against Ohio State

beast (21-Jan) : I thought Ohio State and Texas were both better than Notre Dame & Penn State

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame getting rolled

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : Ohio State just got punched in the gut. Lets see how they respond

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame vs the Luckeyes, bleh
