Message: [QUOTE="NateW, post: 3078850, member: 4210"] I think you have to keep McKenzie at this point. He’s your jet sweep guy, he’s your back up return guy and he’s shown too much competence in general WR duties to be cut. Duke had an eye opening game against Carolina. Can we afford to keep 7? I guess it all depends on what he can offer on Specials vs the other guys on the bubble. But as has been said he offers a high-point-jump-ball skill set that no one else offers. Wade will be on PS. From what I understand he cannot be picked up by anyone else if we choose to PS him. We just can’t pull him up to the 53 if we choose to assign him to the PS to start the season. Edit: I think I’m wrong about him being protected from waivers - he could be signed by another team. I’m to the point now where if we keep a 4th RB then I want it to be Murphy. He’s better than Yeldon in my mind. The only way they keep Perry is if they think that he is a significantly better gunner than they can find elsewhere on the roster. I deleted the DVR of the Carolina game (like a dope) but I still had the Indy game. I went back and checked to see who the gunners were. The first set was Neal and Kevin Johnson. The second set was Perry and Pitts. Third set was Rice and Lewis. Gunner requires the most unique skill set on specials from any other spot - you absolutely have to have guys that can get the job done here. Neal and Johnson are making the team and at times each or both will be taking a lot of defensive snaps. How fresh do you need your gunners to be? At this point you must put Daryl Johnson on the 53. I’d prefer to just keep the 4 ends. I have no need for Love or Yarborough. LB’s is tough bc I like Joseph and think he can be a player someday but as has been mentioned he is raw and the other bubble LBs all bring something to the table. Tough to cut one of them for someone who will be in more of a learning mode. Sneaking him onto the PS will be tough imo. Such a hard decision there. DBs - we are so deep here it’s nuts. My only concern is that we are definitely going to cut multiple NFL caliber players. I guess that’s the best problem to have in the preseason. Our punters have big legs and are young so I’m not too worried about it. Hauschka needs to get his shiz together tho. That 48 yarder he missed against Carolina was funky to me - he looked so nonchalant. His motions looked like he was outside of a typical routine. I’m slightly concerned. [/QUOTE]
