Now, we start seeing why Taysom didn't make it. Team felt desperation at OL and kept guys who have no business being on an NFL roster.

But I agree, I don't think McCray earned a spot... but he might be the only healthy back-up Center they got right now.... he might get released once Barclay or Patrick gets healthy.

I think, not know, it killed Mike McCarthy to have to let Taysom go especially in light of who got kept. They did not keep the best 53. They kept what they NEEDED. Same thing they do on draft day. Neither is good for the long term health of the franchise.

This might be the most draft picks Ted has ever cut. Dupre, Yancey and Amichia makes 3.

(1) Ted make be talking slower but his mind is as sharp as a tack!

He pays attention; he saw Kaaya, Osweiler and Moore cut and that NE was shopping Brissett, and that Cleveland is gonna let at least one more "good" QB go. No one is going to put 27 YO Hill on their 53, if they do it'll go EXACTLY like Callhan's trips to NO and Clev. Then Hill will be back unless he's a dumbass.

This is why he let all 4 WR go, it's not a measure of whether they deserved a roster spot, it's just that Pipkins and Patrick had a better chance of being snagged on someone's 53.

McCaffery has a better chance to contribute than the last 3 or 4 guys that made the 53; but the chance of a team putting him on their 53 is close to ZERO, so he goes on PS, if we have injuries he'll be in GB.

(2) McCrary has no business on 53. But, Ted is not playing a fantasy game, If Barclay and Patrick cant go, who plays C if Linsley goes down week 1?!?! Right now, McCrary is his best option at this time, correct?

(3) But, the 53 can change...let me repeat the 53 can change. If I'm right about McCrary there is a 100% guarantee Ted will sign Greco, Zuttah, Boone, Schofield [he has to clear waivers] or another I'm not aware of or familier with. Linsley and Greco are buddies, they went to same High School. He's the guy they'll sign, if he'll come to GB.

Some of these guys getting cut like Gilbert and Hill and some of the WR and DBs were fun to watch at times but they are all long shots to even have an average NFL career so meh. Not gonna worry too much about who gets claimed or signs on another teams PS. Odds are anyone who got cut because we needed to keep 2 bad OL will never amount to anything in the NFL anyways.

Good thoughts, but there are guys like Cullen Jenkins who do turn out to be very good players in the league. You want to keep the ones who have the best shot at being the next Cullen Jenkins not some scrub OL out of need. We're the one team where these no name guys actually get a chance to be somebody, so cutting what appear to be no names that look good is frustrating in light of who they kept.
