What player are you worried they'll cut and lose?

Some tough decisions come cut time with QB3 and FB1 on the final roster.

This means someone we like will probably get poached by another team (maybe an RB needy team like the 9ers).

In 2008, Tim Ruskell opted to cut Michael Bennett (ya, that Michael Bennett) in favor of keeping two kickers, Olindo Mare and Brandon Coutu. The Legendary Brandon Coutu. In case you have forgotten, he looked like Spock **%%ed a Boston terrier.

I wasn't the only person on these boards that lost my mind.

This year: I hope they don't get cute with Jared Ivey. I don't think he'd clear waivers to get on the practice squad. It seems like they've been looking for a young big end forever. This dude will be Roy Robertson Harris+.
That's a myth that has had legs for too many years. The year they cut bennett wasn't the same as the two kicker year.

Brady Russell. FB and TE depth in one. Hard nosed player. Will be needed but he could be on the bubble with having to carry a 3rd QB and a FB this year.

I think he stays for just that reason. Versatile guys stick.

Thanks for reminding me of the Tim Ruskell era, one of Paul Allen's few major mistakes. I could really get on a roll about what I think of 'ol Timmy, but I think Mrs. Finkle best describes where I stand.Ventura hell

I can’t see us keeping more than 3 RB’s with the extra QB and FB spot. So I think Martinez and Wright won’t make the roster. Wright has looked better to me so far, so I’d say him. I hope Brady Russell stays as the #4TE/#2FB but we’ll see. There’s going to be some tough decisions getting the offense down to size.

What? I'm looking into this right now . . .

You are correct. 2008=Coutu. 2009=Bennett.

Okay, so 400-year-old Edgerrin James, then. Who averaged a dashing 2.7 ypc
