im ready to extend our punter - seriously - i looked it up - gillikin's island is s small stretch of field surrounded by a defense in front and an enzone in back - if we can pin teams and if our defensive front is as pushy as advertised and if ifs were buttercups the cardinals would put reece's out of business

Hall makes it over Clark.

Simmons over Mustipher, with Jones back to IR. Nolen take the spot in week 5 and Simmons to PS. If Jones is healthy, he makes it and Simmons goes to PS.

When Bidal comes back, there will be a harder decision.

Walker over Pappoe

Is that what you think because that’s not what it says in article. Says Clark over hall and mustipher over Simmons (and I disagree with both).

i would just cut Bilial Nichols out right and eat the contract. he hasnt prroduced, and now the room is crowded with young players that need the exposure...and have more potential

Totally agree - this is a good year for us to just eat the dead cap space since we have it and scrub the books for next year as if Nichols never happened.

In starting our 1st string in the PS opener, and then sitting them in the second and PROBABLY the third PS game and taking into consideration of no games over Labor Day weekend, the starters will have gone four weeks w/o playing semi-meaningful FB. Is that a case of well rested or well, rusty?

Hall vs Clark is a debate and more about if Hall can play CB. I also don't believe Elijah Jones is safe. Ultimately, they may just add a vet CB.

I don't think Simmons nor Mustiphar make the final 53 unless Justin Jones goes on IR which would be ugly.

Agree about Walker over Pappoe but this is another spot where I could see the team adding a vet FA.

Still tough to see the team waive Vok. He just seems to fit at TE but I get it.

If you are looking to win 10+ games, you don't just cut vets until you have to. I don't see an upgrade over Nichols or Jones in Mustiphar or Simmons.

You also don’t cut/inhibit young players that have a role because a useless vet has a bloated contract. It comes down to how many DT is this team going to carry? My guess is 6.

Locks:
Robinson
Nolen
CC
D Tomlinson

Other 2:
I’m taking stills and collier, if you take 7 I’m taking jones
