"I'm still disappointed that Dillon Lee didn't make this team; felt he had outpracticed and outplayed Mike Mauti...

Mauti has the hometown thing and one play working for him, but he's topped out...

But Dillon Lee had several forced turnovers, interceptions and can play all three linebacker spots; we're gonna regret letting him get outta the house...

Another cut that may come that would disappoint me WR Jordan Williams who just hasn't gotten the opportunities...

He had a stupid penalty, but two real nice grabs; he uses his big body naturally, as opposed to Coleman, and just needs reps...

I'd say another pending cut coming is OL Joe Cheek that will really disappoint who played Guard in college, but is a better Tackle...

Cheek really impressed the helloutta me on a kinda WR Bubble screen that looked like a touchdown...

Cheek recognized a pass rusher as off-balance, powerfully put him down with one hand, then hustled in space to the next level to destroy a defensive back and allowed a beautiful YAC run by Jordan Williams who showed impressive acceleration in traffic...

Honorable Mention: John Jenkins has had some tough injuries that's limited his development; really don't believe the guy is lazy; plus, his role has been changed three consecutive years - and that's tough; but I was glad to see him have a nice game...

Unfortunately, he probably put Ashaad Mabry out the door and that's regrettable because Mabry is a real talent that just didn't get the development, coaching he needed in college because of choices to stay home, supporting his family..."

That is by Jean Pierre... I'm pasting it because I forgot the quote button.



I fully believe Mabry will be on the practice squad if he isn't claimed.

I don't get your dislike for Mauti, though. He's not a star, but he's a good special teams player who actually has made a lot of plays and showed great energy this preseason. I saw you talking him down last year because he's Rich Mauti's boy and you thought he was on the team only for that reason.

Well... I believe that those things do happen in sports from time to time, but in my opinion Mauti has earned his keep and, respectfully, I think it's time to get off his back about who his dad is and where he's from. I can't think of a single play that I saw Dillon Lee make. I'm not saying he never made one, but he certainly didn't stand out to me, and don't think he deserves to beat out Mauti.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.
