Saints To Make Initial Roster Cuts Today: Who Won't Survive?
by Dave Cariello on Aug 30, 2011 6:00 AM CDT
Email
PrintThe first set of NFL roster cuts are due this afternoon, as teams must trim their player inventory from a maximum of 90 to a total of 80 by today. Which means the Saints must eliminate 10 roster spots.
Normally, NFL rosters would currently be at a maximum of 80 players with teams having to trim down to 75 today but with rosters expanded because of the lockout, the numbers are a bit higher this season. NFL teams must make final roster cuts to a total of 53 players by September 3rd, 2011.
Below is just some personal speculation about how we might see the Saints roster cuts play out today. Your critique and opinion are welcome as always. Feel free to discuss any other players you feel might be in harms way.
C - Ryan Taylor
The Saints are already set at center with Olin Kreutz and Matt Tennant. With two other centers currently on the roster in Taylor and Cecil Newton, there's a bit of crowd. Either of the two could legitimately be cut today but since Newton has some NFL experience already, I think they'll keep him around for one more week and Taylor says goodbye today.
FB - Kolby Hurt
Sean Payton has said himself he would keep two fullbacks on the final roster if he needed. Unfortunately for Kolby Hurt, he wasn't one of the two that Payton was referencing. There's a good chance Hurt could be gone, leaving Jed Collins and Korey Hall to battle it out in the final preseason game.
LS - Kyle Nelson
I'm pretty sure the Saints will go with the incumbent Justin Drescher as their long snapper, which leaves Nelson out in the cold. If the team is as sure as I am, cutting Nelson is an easy way to free up a roster spot.
TE - Michael Higgins
The Saints will probably go with just three tight ends on their final roster with Tory Humphrey and Tyler Lorenzen fighting it out for that third spot. If the Saints don't want to keep a little depth at the position to get them through the final preseason game, Higgins could be a goner.
WR - John Chiles
We know the Saints are set at wide receiver and we pretty much know who is going to make the final roster. Chiles isn't going to be one of them. He and a couple of other receivers will get the boot either now or next week, it's just a question of when.
LB - Dwight Roberson
I don't know anything about this guy and neither do the Saints, so he's probably going to get cut.
LB - Ramon Humber/Ezra Butler
There are plenty of linebackers on the Saints roster which means room to cut. These two haven't seen many snaps in preseason action so I think one of them is likely to go.
CB - Quincy Butler/Fabian Washington
There are plenty of cornerbacks currently on the roster and we've already got a pretty good idea which ones will make the final roster. Butler and Washington aren't on the short list. I don't even remember seeing either of them out on the field during the first three preseason games and there are still plenty of CB's on the roster to try out and get the Saints through the final game.
Injured Reserve
In lieu of cutting someone the Saints may decide instead to place a player on Injured Reserve, effectively ending their season and not having them count toward the official roster number. Greg Romeus hasn't practiced yet and many, including myself, are expecting him to placed on IR this year; might as well do it now. Clint Ingram also hasn't practiced yet and could be placed on IR, though he might be more suitable for the PUP list if his return is inevitable. Finally, though a lot of fans might not want to hear this, Joe Morgan could get stashed away on IR as well after his recent surgery. Since the Saints already have plenty of talent at wide receiver, they may want to wait another year and give Morgan even more time to develop.

What is it with everyone wanting to place all these guys on PUP?
that’s not some random arbitrary designation you can just give any player. Clint Ingram has practiced this year, he is not eligible for PUP.
reminder to all readers: the ONLY people eligible for the PUP list are people who come into training camp injured and aren’t cleared to practice with the team during the entirety of training camp. Tracy Porter, for example, was eligible until he started practicing a week or so ago. Joseph Morgan, Clint Ingram, and other guys who have gotten hurt during preseason but have practiced are not eligible. Dave you may be familiar with the rule and just confused that Ingram has practiced a good bit this training camp. Granted, he’s been so hurt and missed so many practices that was easy to miss. Still, I feel like way to many people throw out the token “hey let’s put this guy on PUP, and this guy too!” – no. It doesn’t work that way.

Time for my Andy story. I worked with Richard for 14 years, knew his son Andy, he’d come into the office sometimes. In 2008 I was talking with my new co-worker Megan, who said she knew Richard from the bars. In fact, she said she was going out with Richard’s son. I said “Oh yeah, how’s Andy doing?” Megan said "Well, he goes by “Blaine” now." I said “Oh. I always knew him as Andy” She said “Yeah, well I’ve always known him as Blaine”.
Megan and Blaine married. I got them a nice set of tumblers from Bed Bath & Beyond. They are now divorced. I just saw Blaine at the fantasy draft with Richard on Sunday. Blaine did not look very happy.
Moral: If you’re an Andy, be an Andy.

Tough Choices.....
As long as DL Swanson Miller, RB Bell (sorry Cobbs), WRs Arrington Roby& Morgan, & CB Johnny Patrick make the squad, I’m good. I say keep Safties Quddus, Amaya, RB Cobbs & Herring on Practice squad. The others on the bubble need to have a blowout game Thurs.
Sorry to say...
Arrington, Roby and Morgan will not all make the team. I foresee only one of them making the squad with Morgan going on IR. I think they may have given up on the Arrington project. Sorry.
by Saint for life on Aug 30, 2011 9:21 AM CDT up reply actions
I think Arrington will make the team. Morgan will be on IR. I think Payton will keep Arrington before Roby in a tough decision.

I have been high on Arrington too...
But I just haven’t seen him making the case to make the team this preseason. He did have a good play in the Raiders game, but I think it’s too little too late, at this point. I would hate to see Morgan placed on IR but wouldn’t be surprised at that move to save him for next season. Devery may have saved himself with the last game but he’s still got to show me more, ie catch the d@mm ball, before I’m sold. Still wouldn’t expect Devery to get cut this soon. Hope some else cuts a good LB because not impressed with Herring at this point either.

wasn't there somewhat of a big headline when we signed Fabian Washington?
I never understood it. It wasn’t like we signed Nandi or something, but it seemed like his signing had a little fanfare with it. Maybe it’s just me. Didn’t seem like they gave him much of a shot. Maybe he fell out of favor somehow early on- special teams or attitude or something. I’m just speculating but maybe I missed something but it seemed like he didn’t play much in preseason but I could be wrong.

Wouldn’t be a complete season fir Hartley without necessitating the signing of a second kicker for the first half of the season. But, as Payton said, “he should be fine”.

He had surgery just in time to keep him out of campe and questionable for the regular season. He has a high salary cap number and they feel that the undrafted rookie can hold it down better than him. Dallas says that the move was not money driven.

Not second game like Kruetz . Or is it 3rd. anyway just saying. Know you don’t think any center is worth 2 mil, but 2 miscues in as many games on a new team isn’t shocking.

I think that Ivory could end up on IR instead of PUP
He hasn’t practiced yet, and we haven’t seen if he was in any shape to actually take the field because of the lockout. With the emergence of Joique Bell, and the fact that Payton has been using Ingram in goalline and short yardage situations, I think we can hold Ivory out for the entire season. (Barring a lot of injuries at the position again)
Peyton, I can eat Oreos faster than you!!!!
Ivory
has proven himself against top NFL competition. In any case, one of the RBs is bound to get injured (it always seems to happen), so Ivory’s talents would be needed. PUP list is his likely destination.
I like Ivory
But Joique has shown the ability to be a complete back, similar to PT. Ivory was more of a short yardage/goalline power back. He showed glimpses of being a complete back, but not consistently because of fumbles and injuries. Ingram will take his short yardage carries. I would rather him sit out the whole season and come back completely healthy with a whole offseason to get in shape, than to come in halfway through the season at 50% and out of football shape.
Peyton, I can eat Oreos faster than you!!!!
Do we need three “complete” backs?
Why not have a pass catcher, a screen catcher, a power back, and an all purpose back?
"It ain't about how hard you hit, it is about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward, how much can you take and KEEP MOVING FORWARD. That's how winning is done!" - Rocky
Then they know what you are doing every time a certain back is in the game. Kind of like when Ivory was in the game last year. Did you ever think it wasn’t a run play? I sense sarcasm in your comment so this comment was probably pointless.
This comment was written by a reader and member of Canal Street Chronicles. It does not necessarily reflect the views of CSC and its staff or editors.
Not pointless…
They didn’t run Ivory every time he was in the game.
And, if they did, he still did well.
If you have 4 of the same guys, then they have one guy to gameplan for.
You have two pass catchers (screen and route runner) and you gotta gameplan for that.
You add a power back or a running full-back, and they gotta gameplan for that too.
"It ain't about how hard you hit, it is about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward, how much can you take and KEEP MOVING FORWARD. That's how winning is done!" - Rocky
Besides
We can always PUP him now and wait for injuries to take there tole during the 1st 6 games. If we are go to go, and healthy, then he could always be used as trade bait for someone else less fortunate.

A: Yes.

well.. to give you an idea of poor fan perception on a player..
he was cut the other day by indy, maybe directly related to his back-to-back penalties @ the end of their game.. i heard form a source that he got cut from the saints, not for his poor play, but because he had an argument with GW..
maybe a little bit of a nut-case..

Mitch King
I don’t know about y’all, but King has been impressive on the defensive line. He made a tackle 20 yds downfield against the Raiders, and he’s always giving 100%. (Aside: I have seen him miss 2 tackles that he could’ve made.) He’s shorter than the rest of our DL, but I would really like to see him perform one more time with the starters. King is a 2nd yr guy out of Iowa that was a backup with the Colts last season. I haven’t seen anyone mention him yet.
I like the guy. I think he will make the squad.

I'm impressed with him as well.
Seems to be around the ball, not just watching … but involved in the play.

I'm liking Brian de la Puente too
We could use some O-line depth too.

Joe Morgan on IR
Would be consistent with what the team did with Adrian Arrington his rookie year….I think Morgan may be ready to contribute at some point this season but stashing him is fine with me. I’m not sure I’d risk someone else signing him if we attempted to waive him and place him on our practice roster.
