Official Cut Day Discussion Thread

[SBXVII]

Matty....I think Skinsfan was talking about Kelly who was and still is injured. He tried to practice Thurs. prior to the game and his knee swelled. It could still take weeks before he's cleared to play.

Frost needed to go. He flashed in preseason all the time but played half-a@@ during the season.

To me Mason is the big supprise. Everyone raves about Rock but he actually sucks. Everyone asks how does Mason contribute? He's not playing several positions. I say the same about Rock. He only plays ST's. Oh, we call him a RB but he runs nothing but the kick offs. Everytime he was used as a RB he ran more East/West then North/South. I will give you guys the one 75 yrd run. He got lucky because he usually fumbles also atleast once in a game. Plus he's as old as Betts and Portis. I thought I read or heard they all came out of the same draft class. Mason was our ..."Getting younger" RB that we needed.

Tyon was simply BAD. We could have gotten rid of him for McMullen. Kept McMullen until Kelly got better then let McMullen go. Hell, I guarentee if we cut Tryon this weekend he would not have been picked up by any other team. If he showed that much promis we could have brought him pack for practice sqauad.

Kelly should haved been put on the PUP list until he was 100% and able to practice. Tryon should have been cut. This would have enabled the team to keep McMullen, Mason then brought Tryon back for the learning curve on the practice squad if they liked him so much. McMullen could have helped this team for now until Kelly got better and was able to play. I'm a Mason fan I'll admit and my opinion is skewed, but Mason showed more RB skills then Rock did. I'll admit Mason showed nothing on ST's. But,...we still have Betts who actually did the job before Rock did it and actually did it better. We also have Randel El, Thrash who did the job before Rock, and what happened to Thomas who was a kick returner gu-ru in college? I saw him catch the ball and run 5-10yrds and run into his blocker and stop. ...and then get tackled. LOL. Everytime. LOL.
