Thought McCune's potential and special team play would earn him a spot.

yea i know i was jokin around

i vote garnell wilds....i dont know how jimoh made it above him. i dont care how good he is on special teams, jimoh is one of the worst cornerbacks i have ever seen

Re: Most surprising cut?
 

I went with Wilson.

He seemed to be a promising young lineman. He stepped in last year and started a game at RT and looked pretty good.

Toss-up between McCune and Warner. McCune had just a little more hype surrounding his pick and athletic ability and so forth, and I think our so called need at MLB added more to the expectation of him making an impact.

Just goes to show, IMO, how much we really miss Pierce. Him and Warner will end up on PS.

McCune 2 me. they hyped him as such a good pickup, but it's cool he'll be on the PS. If Dyson could have done more on special team, I think he would still be there too. I guess Rock 3rd back, and Nemo as goal line

Re: Most surprising cut?
 

Wilds was the most surprising if only because he lost out to Jimoh.

Wilson was the most disappointing because it does seem to leave us thin at tackle.

I never expected McCune to make it so no surprise he was cut.

I went with Warner. Very good speed and showed promising skills when he was given the opportunity.

We should expect Wilson to make the PS. With the exception of last year, Jansen never missed a game as Skin and although Samuels isn't as durable he has played through injuries/nicks pretty consistently.

It seems the staff wanted more depth and rotation in the interior on the active
Roster. Unless Jansen and Samuels both got hurt I wouldn't worry much.

Good points, I guess Molinaro and Brown are sufficient cover and if Wilson isn't picked up he's there for an emergency.

Re: Most surprising cut?
 

Most surprised by Wilds. We need a good dimeback and Wilds have better cover skills than Jimoh...IMO.
Most disappointed by McCune. I guess I bought into the hype and expected him to be at least a backup MLB.

Goes to show hype is only worth the paper it's printed on - ask Zak Keasey.

McCune was overhyped, but there I think there was room for excitement; the guy was a hard worker and had all the tangibles. I think the coaching staff saw a little more than his speed and size when they drafted him with their 5th round draft pick. A good coaching staff doesn't waste a 5th rounder simply because a guy is big and fast. Granted, they realized they made a mistake and cut him; but to say that McCune was bound to fail is a little strange. Either you are a big Louisville fan and you KNEW McCune would fail simply based on your direct observations of him, or you have VERY little faith in the coaching staff's scouting abilities.

I personally voted for McCune because he did have the tangibles and I believe in the coaching staff. I thought that they saw something in him and if that "something" was there, he could be special given his tangibles.
