Drew is just being nice. He's getting cut.

I just don't think Austin is the answer. Many will say "Southake AKA Jordan Humphrey isn't balling @ practice" however when the lights come on in actual games, he has shown the ability to make a big play.

We need guys who can high point balls (see Jordan) and snag the contested throws to keep the chains moving consistently.

I'm not seeing that with Carr. If we put Butler/Humphrey on the p/s, we could very well lose em.

Tough cuts are coming.

LJ Humphrey should make this team over Carr. I see Marques Colston in him. #11 has to make the team as well. Carr can go.

From what I've seen Emmanuel Butler looks more like the second coming of Marques Colston than Lil'Jordan, but Butler hasn't seen PreSeason, and Humphrey has only gotten few snaps in PreSeason, making the most of 'em...

Several media types I've talked with one-on-one still believe Carr is making this team though...

What is the deal with Carr I believe it’s his last year to shine or it’s bump around the league for a couple then done.

They are hiding Humphrey so he will stay on the practice squad.

What about Ginn, Smith, Carr, Butler, Humphrey, Thomas and Kirkwood.

Keith stays with the medical trainers and hasn't put in a lot of reps thus far ...

Tre' and Ginn have shown good stuff.

I really would like to see Jordan and Butler show their worth vs the Jets.

There have been a few plays (end arounds) where it look like Sean has a vision for Cyril Grayson. Would like to see him do good things next game as well. He has serious, serious speed that can hurt teams.

Carr ... meh. Sean is holding on to him like he did Tommy Lee.

The thing with Austin Carr is that it doesn’t matter if none of us like him. Payton and Brees do. I don’t get it, but he’ll probably make the team over most of the ones we’re rooting for.

Thomas, Ginn, Smith, and Carr are locks. Kirkwood being banged up is not in his favor. He could end up on IR. They love Butler who has yet to show anything in games. Humphrey has shown well in the two preseason games. Harris is a legit returner who hasn't seen any snaps at WR. If they keep six, he makes it. Five almost certainly not. Cobbs has looked okay in preseason. Grayson has looked great. Good hands. Quick and fast in limited reps. In the numbers game, Arnold can get some reps at WR as well. The final two preseason games means a lot to a lot of players.
