Cartwright Trying To Prove He's Rock Solid

[Shane]

Betts is very likely not going to be cut - because he will be traded. Betts has talent and there will be a back hungry team out there who will feel Betts will be able to stay healthy for them and play quality ball. He won't be kept on the team unless he tears the field up in the last games of the preseason - and he probably won't even play vs. St. Louis. You can't keep Betts otherwise without sending a message that hard work with results doesn't count - its how high you get drafted, even if you're injured.

Portis will probably make the team, though he could go to the practice squad.

McCullough will be kept, because he is going to be the backup to Portis. He has the explosion and talent to do it all. Coach Byner was talking about how they wanted him to run with more authority into the holes and that he has been doing it. He has the electricity.

Morton is there.

So John Simon and Rock Cartwright are the guys who will battle it out for the last spot. At this point the most important thing will be short yardage ability, and second to that is how they play on special teams. We need a short yardage guy. Right now my thought is that Simon will make it, and Rock will play for another team.
