I’m sure it’ll be that time soon, but let’s at least have a dedicated thread to discuss (scream) about the cuts (Moses)

Glad, relieved even that Adams made the AR.  Gemmel the only surviving LB and he just made the practice roster.  All the great linebacker prospects Petrishen, Moses and Tre Thomas cut.  What a god damned shame.  Upshaw and Chris Smith too. Sigh.

Ayers made active, Gemmel PS. Shocked Tre Thomas didn't stick around. 

Never saw it with Petrishen the way others did on here. Thought he looked the part but didn't play the part.

Assume they would've kept Moses but he got hurt early in the game

If they have Mitchell as the returner, Chris Smith injury probably isn't severe and they will get through first few weeks and then bring Chris back

Why not just 1-game him

Probably to save the cap space. 1 game contracts count against the cap. 

6 game IL does not count against the cap in comparison

Yeah, I know how it works lol

Michael Ayers made the roster

Forgot about him. Any thoughts on Ayers vs the others who got cut?  Noticed Thomas and Petrishen more, but maybe earlier in the games before the defense got worn out.

Guessing McGhee was prob willing to take a pr spot and the others weren’t cuz ain’t no way he was better than a D ford

IMO Moses was bottom of the American LB's.

Thomas is one I thought they'd keep for sure.  But maybe he refused PR spot.

Knew they'd keep Gemmel.  Think he's a guy who will be in the league for awhile.

You asked and I answered 😉

No need to 1-game a player who isn't a vet when another team isn't going to sign them while they're injured. That would just be throwing money away

Ayers was all over the field on Friday in the 2nd half.  Special Teams too.

We throw that minuscule amount of money away all the times. There’s value to it.

Gotta save that league minimum cash. Fun way to pretend smith will be back when he won’t be. 

Terrell Bonds returned punts for the San Antonio Brahmas.

All the backers showed well imo. I think the reason Ayer’s made the cut over the rest is he looked good on teams too. 
 

I’m sure more moves are coming to set up the week 1 roster. Not excited about our kr situation. 
 

The biggest cut I don’t like is rosery. Couple others really don’t make sense either.

I don't think that's true at all. Every decision is very calculated by the Bombers, including not releasing cuts, depth charts or injury reports until as late as possible to not give any advantage to other teams around the league.

If Chris Smith was a serious injury he probably would've been 6-gamed. But also maybe not because then he'd have veteran status in the league. Being on the one game gives players an accrued game. Teams value trying to keep players on rookie status so they don't have to be on the hook in case of injury.

Not putting Chris Smith on 1-game if the injury isn't serious and bringing him back when he's healthy feels like a no-brainer. Probably a 1-3 week injury and they said let's bite the bullet.

Sometimes the best DBs are the ones you don't really notice out there. I think that's what you get with Bonds and Bridges

If Shayne gauthier is our starting middle line backer, someone needs to explain things. 

Looks like the front 4 will be great with WJ, Haba, garbutt, fox,  adams, woods.

 Like others I’m surprised tre Thomas and petrishen didn’t stick around. 
 

no idea who will be returner. If it’s Mitchell did he even take any reps there in camp?

To be positive, I like that it looks like we'll be using more american DTs and will have a nice american rotation at DE.

On the downside we are gonna be starting 9 Canadians I bet. 

Rosery makes no sense to me.

We are short Canadians.

We start a Canadian at tailback.  We want to start 2 Canadian receivers.

Augustine is 30.

Rosery showed really well too.

Thought for sure Rosery would be moved to the PR as the future replacement for Augustine.

10 if Shayne starts while Biggie is hurt (probably happens, they never trust rookie Americans to start Week 1)

3 OL, 2 WR, Brady, Thomas (will start no matter what Oshea for some reason has the biggest hard on for him), Redha, Ford, Gauthier

I would expect Brian Cole will play more than Gauthier but Gauthier will start until Bighill is back

My overly optimistic game day roster for D is 

habba/garbutt Adams fox wj with woods scratched Thomas to ir and the two Canadians backing up at dt 

kyrie/ayers gemmel Cole Canadians tanner max and Shayne back up

Bridges nichols Kelly holm ford back ups bond kramdi hallett 

I’m kind of sick that mcghee made the ar. I suspect  he will start but if he does teams are gonna go at him hard 

3 Canadian RBs on the roster already without Rosery... 

Brady, Johnny (much better than Rosery despite what people on here have said) and Chris-Ike who doubles as fullback

McGhee on pr.
