Cartwright Trying To Prove He's Rock Solid

All that said, I think it will end up being Betts and Rock backing up Portis, with Morton used occasionally on 3rd down, and possibly keeping Sultan on the practice squad. I think Simon will be one of the tougher cuts they have to make, but will be picked up by another team.

You hit the nail on the head here. Basically, if Betts is able to play against St. Louis and Atlanta, and doesn't fumble, then I would be really surprised if he gets cut.

It's not that I agree or anything, I just think that's the way it will be. He will get a pass simply because we gave up a 2nd round pick to get him. The one who gets the shaft will be either Simon or McCollough, and McCollough seems to be a lock for the practice squad.

Cartwright has done enough in my mind to make the roster. Then again, as Matty said in another thread, my name doesn't start with "coach".
