No way is Evans on the bubble. Demetric is to versatile not to make the cut. He can move inside and play tackle, he's strong against the run, he has the most experience in the system, and he leaves the option open for us to employ a bunch of different packages due to his versatility, and lets not forget he can drop back into coverage as well.

Yeah, you are.

He's definitely not on the bubble. Not even close.

Well with, Jackson, James, Wilson, Taylor, Evans, and Carter, I think that Jackson, Evans and Wilson are the possible cuts. They can only keep two of them. I understand that Evans is known as a run stuffer and plays tackle, but maybe they see more upside in Wilson and Jackson. I think that, which DE's to keep will be one of the toughest decisions. As far as I am concerned, if the season started today, Jackson makes the team. That leaves Wilson and Evans as two guys that have done little in preseason.

Making a cut at this position is going to be tough. How is the PUP list work? Maybe they can put James in there?

James was on the PUP list where I thought they would keep him, but they removed him from that list last week. I thought they would just keep him there, so they could keep more DE's, in the event of an injury. But it looks like they intend to play him next week and keep him on the active roster.

James can not be put on PUP to start the season now.

James Activated; Huntley Released

Defensive end Erasmus James has passed his physical and will be activated from the physically unable to perform list.
That means someone had to go and that someone is Kevin Huntley, a veteran defensive end who had failed to move up the depth chart. He's a DC area guy who had spent some time with Atlanta, but after the Jason Taylor trade and with James getting healthy, Huntley was expendable.
Back at practice (players in shells and shorts) this morning are LaRon Landry, Rock Cartwright, James, Devin Thomas and Chris Horton. Vernon Fox is back after missing Saturday's game for personal reasons.
Not practicing are H.B. Blades, Shawn Springs, Malcolm Kelly, Stephon Heyer, and Anthony Mix.
Both Todd Yoder or Lorenzo Alexander have been excused from practice, for reasons to be determined.
BTW, send your questions to Jalaca, who'll be chatting at 11:45.

Rob Jackson is not going to make it over Evans, because Rob Jackson is a candidate for the practice squad. To me it comes down to Rob Jackson vs. Chris Wilson. We all know what Chris Wilson can do, he's a situational rusher. Jackson has looked really good in preseason with 3tcks 2scks and 1ff. If Wilson makes it over Jackson, Jackson can easily be placed on the PS, but if Jackson makes it over Wilson, Wilson will be gone because I don't think he's eligible for the PS.

I think they are both eligible for the practice squad, Wilson was considered a rookie last year. My opinion is neither one will make it on the practice squad. Jackson has done to much this year and Wilson did to much last year.

Let's start a petition.

Seriously, after showing nothing in the first two games except how well he jogs after guys he's given up big plays to. What happens on Clowney's big reception & Kellen Clemens' only big play of the night? Sure enough, here comes Justin Tryon trotting after him. Well, at least, he put a big hit on him. It's still not enough to stay on the team though. Justin Tryon, please go and give us back our fourth round pick.

Matterral Richardson is looking better. He can stay.

[MiraclesHappen07]

hmmmm...i think we should tried to trade away one of our Rbs, as someone mentioned earlier to make way for Mason. Mason is perhaps oour truest Running back on this team, and he has earned his keep. There would be no way i would even put him on the practice squad, because if he continues to be this good another team ineed of Rb could sign him. That would be a big loss for us in my eyes. And i think McMullen so far has beatean Mann for the 6th reciver spot, he looked perdy dange good, eve it is against third and fourth stringers.

[budw38]

Keep 5 , not 6 WR's . I look at it this way , if our OL can get Portis to avg. 4.4 / 4.7 yds per carry , we win this year . If we have to throw , we are 8-8 . I doubt that our 6th WR would see any playing time ,,, if we have to get our # 5 on the field , we're in trouble . Im hoping to keep the young DL/OL and Mason .That 7th rd pick DE R. Jackson looks good , maybe E. James goes on IR ? SMASH MOUTH FOOTBALL !

[That Guy]

wilson's probably the cut at DE. he's just a worse version of a guy we've already got (taylor, carter, james).

evans is definitely staying, and boschetti made a REAL push last game to be relevant (amazing game by him actually).

crummey also showed something, and justin hamilton, even though i wrote him off, looked better than fox last night. i'm pretty sure we keep moore and horton with landry and doughty, but there's a good chance we keep a 5th safety on the PS and a slim chance for the actual roster.

mcmullen had some good and bad moments. none of the other WRs really stood out.

i'm pretty sure mann and devine suck... like, really suck.

[BleedsBurgundy]

Not sure Devine sucks - just no good here. We should cut him now and give him a chance to make the practice squad somewhere else...
