white would go on PS or koz would have been cut... sellers was never part of the discussion i don't believe.

I'm surprised David Terrell was released. I'd be interested in Terrell for the fact he played with Patten and I've got some friends from the Boston area that love the guy.

When did Terrell play with Patten? Wasn't he in Chicago last year when Patten was in New England and then we signed patten in the spring? Terrell hasn't done anything since UMichigan, where he was no Desmond Howard. Michigan constantly puts out overrated WRs (we'll see on Braylon Edwards).... Just checking my own memories, send me a line

OK when did he play with him. Terrell was a 1st rounder out of Michagan that played for Chicago. The Bears cut him this offseason and the Pats signed him immediatly there after. Patten was signed by the Redskins this offseason. So I guess they played backgammon in the airport lounge. Pats cut him cause they had a glutten of good recievers. Maybe the Eagles should sign him since they need another head case receiver.

The Bears couldn't wait to be rid of him last year... and their WR situation is miserable. Terrell is Terrible.

No surprises here in my opinion! I'm also glad to see Groom getting the punting job. I think it came down to his holding for Hall on that tying field goal at the end of regulation that won the job for him.

Yes, I'm happy with Cartwright and Nemo making the team. They're showing alot of patience by keeping Taylor Jacobs.

What are the rules for practice squad eligibility?

Wonder if Kesey or Killings will really make it--we still will probably pick up a vet cut from another team...

Here's the deal on practice squad eligiblity:

To be eligible for the practice squad, a player must not have an accrued season towards free agency. If a player does have an accrued season, he still is eligible for the practice squad if he was not on the active or inactive list for more than nine regular season games. The NFL expanded the size of each team's practice squad to eight players from five beginning in 2004.

I love this website and visit every day and just signed up to post notes. I think that we should have kept both Ade and Wilds, I am not sure why he was denied a roster spot, having shut down Moss last year. Wilson is no big loss. McCune has all the physical tools, I wrote a letter to Blanche and told him to covert him to DE, I guess they weren't interested in his 4.4 speed and 550 pound bench press..... He had better land on the practice squad. Groom is way better than Mohr. Keasey is a Neal Olkawitz type player and Khary played well on Thursday. My biggest worries remain the CB situation and Ramsey's picks. Also, Brunell looks like a total bad ass this year. Taylor Jacobs will get hurt again, but Farris is more practice squad material. Dyson is not a big loss, nor are Aki Jones. Ron Warner was pretty good last year, I still like his practice squad potential. Dallas has to be the most overrated team this preseason, everyone thinks Bledsoe will lead them to the playoffs, but he can't run, so we'll knock his block off week 2 down in TX. Hail Skins!

Welcome, SanFranSkinsFan!

Not sure about Terrell. My guess with McCune is that they hope no one grabs him, and they practice squad him for a year.

Wilson and Wilds are the 2 biggest surprises for me, 6 months ago Wilson was ahead of Molinaro now look, Molinaro was abused the other night at RT. OT, he's better suited for guard. I said in another thread that Keasey is getting my vote for the feel good player of the year for us, I saw him early on and this kid is a player, I do disagree with the olkiewitz comparison earlier in the thread though, he's more athletic and much faster than Olkiewitz was and is as smart as they come on the field, probably not as strong though, he will more than make up for the McCune pick, and as I suspected McCune is a workout wonder who is stiff with no real football instincts.

Warner I liked but Clemons outplayed him, and has shown a gradual progression in his game, I think the best is yet to come from Clemons down the road.

Surprised not see Campbells name on that list though.


In all seriousness I am Actually starting to warm up to the guy, I do like what I have seen so far.

I am glad we went with Groom, I figured it would happen when I heard Joey T. point out that Groom held for the game tying field goal against the Ravens.

I bet Farris and Dyson will make the practice squad.

Dyson isn't eligible for the PS.
