What the read option is doing is just utilizing the mobility of your quarterback....nothing new here. Teams that had a mobile QB who could run would have an advantage. The defense has to account for him running somehow.

I think they need Hopkins to get a date too......

It has everything to do with new team/new blood. In Carolina...after Cam Newton...none of the 2011 picks are left on Carolinas roster.

Trufant......he was cut by Jacksonville whose head coach was his DC the past couple of years in Seattle. what does that say to you about trufant?

From his report date it was for two weeks---thus expiring on tuesday--those are the usual rules

Blatnick can go PS Thad Lewis cant go PS

Thread is elsewhere and will get closed. vince Young got cut be GB

Brady quin got vut from Seattle..... Meacham from San Diego... Winfield is reportedly going to retire

in season you can be activated after 6 weeks on it and 3 weeks working out before activation. Preseason IR you are done for the year.

Is that count including Byrd or not?? Riht now Byrd doesnt count against the roster count officially.. Legurski likely goes on in season IR thus open spot for Byrd to take. they would be looking for a Guard, CB, and 3rd QB with other additions to try and improve the backups.

Tebow is available...... Vince Young is available.....

I saw one former Bill get cut.....

With the Us open going on now, not sure how many of you have heard that ESPN takes over the entire US Open in 2015 including the finals. They may subcontract some of the match coverage to CBS. This change would likely effect how the NFL is broadcast. This is my speculation....... NFL will go to dual doubleheaders for week 1, week 17, and another week (either week 16 or a week in November sweeps). then the other 14 weeks would be single network DH. Another option they add another bye week to make it 18 weeks...then only 2 dual DH weeks (first and last)

Banks is a PS candidate....... I would look at the TE Ballard.

The roster I see.... 3 QB 3 RB 6 WR 3 TE 1 WR/TE/FB slot 8 OL 1 BPA 25 offense 8 DL 7 LB 9 DB 1 BPA 25 Defense 3 ST (P, K, LS) this is the final roster---they keep Kolb then put him on the in season IR, then activate Byrd to the roster.

their analysis is utterly meaningless.... lets look at Leinarts career..... firest 2 years he started with the Cardinals with Kurt Warmer breathing down his back. As a typical rookie/2nd yr QB mistakes do happene. The next 2 years he was a back up behind Warner. The next 2 years he goes to Houston--he had ashot when Schaub went down but was injured and out for the year during year 1, then road the bench in year 2. last year he was with that disaster that was the Raiders. He hasn't really gotten a chance. Remember it takes some time for a QB to develop.

If you recall---last season the same thing was done with Easley. He didn't play much and when he played he wasnt thrown to much. They released him to slip him on the PS.

But---if another team signed him to their PS---Buffalo can freely pluck him from their PS and add him to their 53 man roster without compensation. the only restrictions on this would be plucking PS players on future opponents. I think if you play them sometime in the next two weeks you cant claim them.

Interesting----- In a related story....didnt see it mention on this board. PBS Frontline is doing a two part piece on football safety and concussions that is set to air in October. initially this was supposed to be a joint operation with ESPN but then unexplicably ESPN pulled out (belief was Godell pressured them).

To be fair---Hardy had serious injuries---thus not given a fair shot. One of them was a serious knee injury that takes usually a full year to recover.

Actually the opposite is true..... When you have the final cut down day teams will search it big time for talent they can claim and add to their teams 53 or to their PS. the cuts to 75 players tend not to be looked at as additions to a 53 man or a PS---thus its an easy way to slip him to the PS.

Part of the reason they cut him now sends a message of he must have been a problem/bust....thus it he has a better shot at the PS. Remember alot of teams if they feel a player is a project that isnt ready for the team this year but has good long term potential--thus practice squad is usually cut at the first cut down time.

He is free to sign with whichever team he wants to.... He liely signs with Buffalo--- Why??? He is familiar with the system His best buddy plays for the team.
