We kept Dimke...released Graham...Releasing Pierre Warren is a mistake - don't like it...

Warren could immediately start for the Falcons; He's definitely PS, if he clears waivers

homerj07 08-30-2014 03:23 PM

Champ let go
 
Just saw on CBS that Champ was cut (as was SAMs - do we need a DL?)

Re: Roster moves
 
I thought Warren played great. that's a disappoinment. I liked his football instincts.

And Mitch, that would come back to bite us in the arse...

The Chiefs Ryan Succop lost his kicking job to a kicker from TULANE! Who scouts for the Saints?

I'll trust in the coaches, they seem to know a lot more about what's going than I do...

We're coming in Sept 21 for the first home game.

Toon is soft. Don't like him. Wanted him cut. Hopefully we'll see some re-signings.

Re: Champ let go
 
There's a thread for that! ;)

Re: Roster moves
 
Warren's going to end up on the practice squad. Teams will be scared off by his pre-draft scouting reports which were unfavorable to say the least. He's our little secret.

jeanpierre 08-30-2014 03:34 PM

Re: Roster moves
 
Two (2) Fullbacks, Neaux (0) Kicker, Three (3) Offensive Tackles...cut day is just a busier than usual day, but we're obviously not done...

Jack Vegas 08-30-2014 03:35 PM

Re: Roster moves
 
We are going to sign Connor Barth, I bet. By far the best kicker available.

Jankman8 08-30-2014 03:48 PM

Re: Roster moves
 
Yeah sign Connor Barth and Hill the former 2nd Rounder from the Jets.

Barry from MS 08-30-2014 03:49 PM

Re: Roster moves
 
We're bringing in Barth or Succup. Apparently, Payton didn't trust Graham, either.

Warren cut? How?

Meachem cut? Wow...Toon? Seriously???

However, Loomis and Payton have shown they know what the crap they're doing. I'm only a 3rd string armchair QB.

Hill can't catch > Stonehands...

Re: Roster moves
 
Still think we should have a close look at another WR.

jeanpierre 08-30-2014 03:53 PM

Re: Roster moves
 
Falcons waited to see who the Saints cut so they can pickup some players to get better...

jeanpierre 08-30-2014 03:55 PM

Re: Roster moves
 
Expect a visit from Kicker Alex Henery and Ryan Succop, maybe Connor Barth...

saintsfan1976 08-30-2014 03:59 PM

Re: Roster moves
 
Michael Sam cut. Avoid your television until 12:45 EST next Sunday

Yep...forgot Henery got cut. He's 86% in 3 years in PHI. Kicking at least 8 games outdoors per year in PHI plus once a year in the cold weather venues of WASH, DAL, and NY.

Put him in the Dome and I get all excited. Henery is my leading candidate. No question.

Re: Roster moves
 
Ha! I guess Michael Sam didn't Michael Sam himself a Michael Sam long enough to make the roster for the St Louis Sams. Might sign on to the practice Sams.

Jack Vegas 08-30-2014 04:03 PM

Re: Roster moves
 
Somebody's going to pick him up. He's a good player. Rams just have too many good DL guys.

Good player yes. 24 hour media coverage? No freakin thank you

Re: Roster moves
 
We are not cutting our present roster to 53. We are cutting as many as needed to pick up other teams cuts until we are at 53.

Plenty of talent going to get released from teams that have tons of depth that we can pick up to narrow the talent gap between starters and relief.

Re: Roster moves
 
i am shaking my head at some of these moves.

warren? wth hell.
Dixon? one game wonder?

toon is last WR in the pecking order for sure.

i swear blinded by athleticism and pride in draft picks over football players. i do not get it.

90 % of these guys i do not want on the PS.

hitta 08-30-2014 04:14 PM

Re: Roster moves
 
Eh I think Dixon is going to be really good.

lee909 08-30-2014 04:15 PM

Re: Roster moves
 
Not a issue for us,but im glad too see Preston Parker make the Giants roster.
He did well in the preseason last year and was unlucky to miss out

jeanpierre 08-30-2014 04:17 PM

Re: Roster moves
 
Michael Sam can always say he got the sack on Johnny Football..

Barry from MS 08-30-2014 04:21 PM

Re: Roster moves
 
Dixon has pretty decent size for a DB, and he did flash a few times in preseason. It is hard to comprehend a rookie UDFA rookie from NW Missouri State getting a DB spot over future HOF'er Champ Bailey, but it is what it is.

Champ wouldn't have made it over the course of 19 games this year. At least Dixon is a DB that can develop in Ryan's defense over the course of the next few years. Long term investment versus very short term part-timer with a big veteran salary. Might bring Champ back later, though.

Wish Sam the best, but his measurables aren't that impressive for the NFL game. One can say he makes plays, though, plus the Rams are freakin' loaded on the D-Line. No way he cracks the D-line rotation here over Walker & Foster and he is too slow for a 3-4 OLB, but he could on a team that is thin on the D-Line. Only IF that team is willing to take the baggage and pub that comes with him.

Micheal Sam...meet Jerry Jones.
