Surprise Cuts? And all other roster cuts!

[CanHawksFan]

Hopefully Bell, Winston, Lindsey, and Gotel make it to the practice squad. I thought all of those guys showed some interesting things at one time or another throughout pre-season.

 

[Sgt. Largent]

I really thought they'd keep Winston, what with so many injuries to the WR corp right now.

I guess that means we're keeping either/or Bobo and Johnson or Thompson? Cause Young might need surgery.

Don't the hawks historically make their cuts well before the deadline? Feels like they are taking this down to the wire for the most part. 40 mins to the deadline right now

They are usually right up to the line with cuts. The cut dates have changed in recent years, so having to cut down from 90 to 53 is a big task (compared to it being spread out over a few weeks).

I think everyone was rooting for this one, what a great story.

Good job Bobo! I see some future jerseys coming.

 

[Rat]

Bobo is still vulnerable if we make any waiver claims. Looks promising at the moment for him though.

[RiverDog]

Why would we want him (Eskridge) six weeks from now?

Injuries. Do you remember the year when we lost so many WR's to injury that we played our backup QB, Seneca Wallace, at WR?

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Stoked about Bobo, bummer about BBK. Hopefully he catches on somewhere.

 

[Sgt. Largent]

I think Pete was just doing BBK a solid by letting him come in, play and put some game film on tape to hopefully catch on post waiver somewhere else.

Hopefully. See ya,Rudy,Rudy,Rudy!!!

How could he not make the team after he B.O.B.O'd all preseason?

B.O.B.O: Balled Out, Balled Often.

That's right, and football media just keep prefacing every tweet and hot take with Bobo's 4.99 40 time, and he'll keep toasting fools.

Not saying he’s this guy but I remember a small not fast receiver who was always open and caught everything thrown his way. He wore #80 and is in the HOF.

Dude could hit too.
Hardin’s feet were over his head when we was obliterated by Largent.

No big surprises, at least not yet. DeeJay Dallas, Devin Bush, Artie Burns all make the 53-man roster, despite what some people were predicting. Even experts like Bob Condotta (Artie Burns) and Gregg Bell (Devin Bush).

I think that Jerrick Reed's spot might have gone to Joey Blount or Jonathan Sutherland if those two hadn't gotten injured.

 

[Appyhawk]

I think Jerrick Reed's spot was destined pre draft. Both John and Pete were head over heels for this guy and he solidified by making some splashy plays in the few chances he got during pre-season games. Give him some time. He just might have the makings of another Spoon type. Those two may resurrect Legion of Boom stature for our defense.

I hear what you're saying--it's tough to cut those draft picks. But it seems like Sutherland was outplaying Reed in camp and he was impressive in that first game. It just looked like it was coming to a head, with Blount, Sutherland and Reed before the injuries. Now I suspect Blount and Sutherland will land on the practice squad unless some other team picks them up.
