VanDeSteeg - nooooo!

[Wacko4Zacko]

I don't know why we should keep him, Ellerbe will probably surpasss VanDeSteeg and make the team so it doesn't matter.

[Alexir]

Willy is already off the team, I just checked the roster.

I think It's gonna be:

Evan Oglesby
Graham Gano
Drew Willy
Issac Smolko
Biren Ealy

Willy's gone?
OK then I'd say Stephan Rodgers.

I think we will keep Gano to atleast the last game though.

I don't really see the point. If Haushka messes up now I think we'd more likely look for someone else or give Matt a call before we gave the job to Gano now.

I agree. You could see the look of disgust on Harbaugh's face when Gano missed that kick. Unless he's a miracle worker (literally), he's gone.

I'll second (or third lol) that opinion. My school of thought is that obviously Gano is not nearly consistent enough although he has a strong leg. From what I've heard Houshka had a slight edge going into the first game so let's cut Gano now and give Houshka all of the reps headed into these last two games, If he looks bad then hopefully Stover is on Ozzie's speed dial. As far as Stover goes, someone explained to me that he was missing last season because Harbaugh was making them speed up the process between the snap,hold and kick so his mechanics were off a bit after doing it his way for so long, I don't know much about kicking but it kind of makes sense although idk how true that is.

[SackinU]

Ealy, Fein, W. Johnson, Felix, Figures (wishful thinking)

I don't think that look of disgust is because of poor performance, i just think they have really high hopes for Graham.

I know it doesn't seem like it because of the 2 misses so far, but i still think Graham Gano is the better kicker. The ball comes off his foot much better, and with a lot more authority. His Kickoffs, get more height and does a better job with the directional kicking.

I think Gano will have every chance to redem himself Saturday night, and if he does, you could see Graham Gano as our Kicker. I know that might now farfetched but i think that is where they stand.

I don't think Willy Van Der Steeg get cut this early. The coaches really like him and he plays so strong. It's hard to say that Ellerbe will beat out anyone right now because he isn't healthy, so he could be headed to IR.

I find it interesting that everyone is picking 5 guys that have actually played, while you can look at the Roster and see atleast 5 guys who haven't even taken a snap in the preseason yet.

With that being said. I think the top guys on the chopping block right now are.

Bryan Mattison- Hasn't really shown much as a OG

Bradon Godfrey -Hasn't really seen much time at all since being picked up last week.

Robby Felix- He has shown some good things but not enough, gotta step up Saturday

Nadar Abdallah- He didn't play bad Monday night, but he didn't stand out either. He'll have to show up big Saturday to stay here.

Biren Ealy/Eron Riley- One of these guys will be gone. With the starter playing pretty much the entire first half, it'll be hard for either guy to get much playing time Saturday. One of these guys will stay because of the injuries to the WRs, but he won't stay for long.

I don't see Will Johnson getting cut until final cut down, and he will be brought back for PS team.

Tony Fein has actually played well on Special Teams in both games. So i think he gets past the first cuts.

If i had to have a surprise cut, well it would be Brendon Ayenbedajo. I really don't see him making this team and if that is the case then the Ravens will cut him early to give him the chance to cut on with other team.

I noticed the same thing. A lot of people are listing guys who are still fighting for a spot. It's too early for these people. We have a lot of people who haven't seen any action, they will be the first to go.

I do not see any names that we usually throw around here leaving during this cut.
