________________________

Of course, there will be roster movements in the following days but here are the four names I think could be taken out for the mandatory reduction by Tuesday:

78 = Matt Caddell, WR
77 = Lavarus Giles, RB
76 = Shaine Smith, WR
75 = Brandon Williams, WR



Who are your four deductions for Tuesday and/or Practice Squad players for Aug. 30?

[shower beers]

I think Macklin and Caldwell make the roster fairly easily.

But I guess you're asking for reductions. Oh well.

"Ah You" are much better informed than i, RealRam!



RAM ON!

[RealRam]

I think Macklin and Caldwell make the roster fairly easily.

But I guess you're asking for reductions. Oh well.

Hmm, you're probably right about Mackling making the team.

Who are your four 'minus' though, for the 75 player maximum by this coming Tuesday?

[RealRam]

Liked Soprano's idea to have Dustin Fry in our practice squad.

[TekeRam]

28. Giles, Lavarus RB
34. Grixby, Cortney LCB
75. Weil, Russ FB
77. Williams, Willie UT

Those are my cuts. Giles because Jax is back. Grixby because we already have our corners I expect and they need reps anyway, Weil because we don't need 3 FB's, and Williams because I said so... and there's DT depth.

[RealRam]

Yes, interesting to see how having Jackson back can consolidate -- or dissolve -- potential roster plans.

Very good rosters BTW. That OL of ours keeps me thinking that it will be so much better than the 2007 'barely waking / very wounded' group of trench men.


Orlando Pace, OT
Alex Barron, OT
Adam Goldbert, OT
Jacob Bell, OG
Richie Incognito, OG
Joe Greco, OG/OT
Roy Schuening, OG
Brett Romberg, C
Nick Leckey, C
