Punter Lou Hedley ... cut.

Good move.

Lou Hedley. Cut.

Re: Tracking Roster Cutdowns
 

Are we thinking scheme and live reps are factors that make the case for Penning to remain starter at RT?

And what if (when) he goes down?

Re: Tracking Roster Cutdowns
 

Re: Tracking Roster Cutdowns
 

Someone here posted Penning run block grades vs Titans but casually left off pass protection (63.8). I'm not drinking the kool aid.

I don't believe the starting RT is on the roster right now.

Re: Tracking Roster Cutdowns
 

Robinson waived.

Re: Tracking Roster Cutdowns
 

They’ll probably start Penning to keep getting him live action reps, but I think they should go with Udoh for now.

Re: Tracking Roster Cutdowns
 

Don’t like this move.

Re: Tracking Roster Cutdowns
 

Presley Harvin the third. Backup Punter on Niners. Sign him.

Re: Tracking Roster Cutdowns
 

Jacob Kibodi CUT

Hope he makes PS. I liked his game.

Re: Tracking Roster Cutdowns
 

I hope we can find some bodies to bring in at starter or backup. As much of an optimist that I am, I am also concerned that there simply aren't bodies out there that can be truly considered upgrades.

Re: Tracking Roster Cutdowns
 

Jackson Carman, OT, Bengals: The 2021 second-round pick wasn't able to stick as a backup after a shaky camp and preseason.

Re: Tracking Roster Cutdowns
 

We go to war with the army we have, not the one we wished we had.

I don't see a whole lot of other options floating around out there at this point. You can bet that other teams are hawking that waiver wire to pick up some OL help. There's just not a lot of quality there.

Re: Tracking Roster Cutdowns
 

The options are limited, but there are guys available. A lot of people may argue with me about this, Doug Marrone did a wonderful job patching a line together after the Penning failure. A guy like John Benton should be able to do the same and find some upgrades on the open market.

Re: Tracking Roster Cutdowns
 

But it's crucial that we don't use this as a reason to overlook the importance of preparation and foresight.

National scouts, Ireland & Allen failed with this high 1st round pick & no contingency plan in place.

Re: Tracking Roster Cutdowns
 

Why would you waive a kicker who doesn't count against the 52?

Unless I'm misreading, European players don't count against it.

Re: Tracking Roster Cutdowns
 

I don't think Hedley was in the program.

The NFL's International Player Pathway (IPP) program has specific rules for players who sign through the program. Here are some of the rules:

Eligibility

To qualify as an international player, a person must be a non-US or Canadian citizen, have lived outside of the US and Canada, and have had a maximum of two years of high school experience in the US. They must also be at least 24 years old, have been out of high school for at least four years, and not have played American football at a US college. In addition, they must be able to speak English and be available to travel to the US for two months starting in early March. Finally, they must meet all NFL player eligibility rules and have been eligible for a previous NFL Draft.

Re: Tracking Roster Cutdowns
 

I'd like to see us bring in Terrace Marshall and Andy Isabella for a look. We certainly need help at the position.

Re: Tracking Roster Cutdowns
 

Yes. Smyth qualifies and is in the program.

Re: Tracking Roster Cutdowns
 

Just checked. Hedley didn't qualify because he played US college football with Miami (FL).

Re: Tracking Roster Cutdowns
 

Disappointed about Robinson. I thought he was clearly better than Mims.

Re: Tracking Roster Cutdowns
 

Not sure if you missed it listed earlier, but Charlie Smyth was waived, as well. Probably coming back as the free 17th player on the practice squad via the IPP rules.

Re: Tracking Roster Cutdowns
 

May make the practice squad.

Re: Tracking Roster Cutdowns
 

Re: Tracking Roster Cutdowns
 

We could sign the tackle Minnesota released and have Spencer Rolland blocking for Spencer Rattler.

Re: Tracking Roster Cutdowns
 

I'll be surprised if he makes it past all 31 other teams.
