Huh?

John Conner was cut

I see that now...My "huh" was directed at the word "apparently."

Saw it on twitter. I'm not a twitter expert so I'm never 100% confident in what I read there lol

Gotcha

Conner is not an eligible ps player

Andy

halfback20 : 8/30/2014 9:17 am : link

I think he just meant he thinks no one else will sign him so he'll be there if we need him

De facto practice squad, Andy.

Klaatu : 8/30/2014 9:18 am : link

As in, he'll be sitting on his couch if they need him.

aquidneck : 8/30/2014 9:19 am : link

I get your point in terms of player availibility, but the practice squad is for guys that actually practice.

These constitute the scout team that the starters practice against week to week.

That's the reason you don't keep kickers on the PS. They can't practice, and since any team could sign that player at any time anyway you're just as well off leaving them on the street rather than adding them to your PS.

But yes, there is a pool of FA vets that will be available throughout the season. Because if the vesting rules, the pool will probably stocked with its best talent between now and the end of week one.

Andy- Everyone knows that.

Bobby Epps : 8/30/2014 9:21 am : link

De facto Practice Squad does not mean the 10 player Practice Squad. It means players who are ineligible for the 10 person Practice Squad but instead players who are ineligible for such Squad but are nevertheless available to be signed because no one else will sign them.

Where's a good "cuts" tracker?

With the best of them getting picked up this week, maybe we should call the remainders The Desperation Squad, the guys available when you're desperate for a body,lol

Good chane to PS Fox and Jackson. Quarles may be grabbed. I would have cut Kuhn, but they didn't call me and ask. Also unsure of keeping Wynn or Stanton is they get cut.

Thanks guys

Probably.

TC said after the game that there was concern about

Bill in UT : 8/30/2014 9:46 am : link

how Jerry's knee would hold up after playing a full game. Has anyone heard anything about how that went?

Kellen Davis is awful.

Ten Ton Hammer : 8/30/2014 9:51 am : link

But all these TEs are mediocre. I don't see a useful player in the bunch.

Agreed. I would have kept Quarles over Kuhn, and I'm not sure Quarles gets through waivers. In Kuhn's defense, when he did play this preseason, I saw a number of plays where he was being double teamed, or at least being chipped by a second defender. PFF gave him a -4.0 grade IIRC, but it looked to me like other teams were paying attention to him.

Wynn and Stanton may also not get through waivers.

Surprised about cutting Davis - I thought he would stick

PatersonPlank : 8/30/2014 9:58 am : link

Man our TE's are awful, who is our starter? Fells, Donnell? Yuch

Shipley was waived

DavidinBMNY : 8/30/2014 10:01 am : link

He might be a player they cut a claim on. Possible upgrade over Reynolds?

Rookies who get cut rarely get claimed

BillT : 8/30/2014 10:03 am : link

Guys like Quarles and Wynn (if cut) have very little info available for other teams to look at except preseason film. They aren't usually going to put guys like that on their 53 man roster. When was the last NYG rookie that got claimed at the final cut down or even claimed off the PS during the season. I remember one claimed off the PS a couple of years back but can't remember who it was.

That's not how the practice squad works you can't stash somebody on the practice squad that has already been playing in regular-season games for their whole career

Thanks, I hope that's how it goes and we can hold on to them, if cut

Wynn flashed

Lowell.. : 8/30/2014 10:07 am : link

in each game. He can plays both DT and DE.

Garret Gilket G/T jusy cut.

Bobby Epps : 8/30/2014 10:08 am : link

Very good measureables and, thus, might be worth a try-out.

David Douglas was claimed off our PS by the Bucs during the regular season, but I can't remember if that was last year or the year before. Maybe that's who you're thinking of.

He said DE FACTO practice squad.

Holiday has way more upside.

Really? He's only a return man. Parker looked better than JJ and of he was an ex 3rd round pile of Reese wouldn't even be a question to make the team as opposed to JJ. Holiday hasn't shown anything as he's been hurt. Not sure u can't cut him and pick him up on 2-3 weeks if he's needed

IDK why you'd IR Manningham...

Dunedin81 : 8/30/2014 10:23 am : link

waived/injured with a settlement maybe, but he's not in the plans going forward.

Why put MM on IR? Why not just cut him with an injury settlement? I assume they did this to keep him around for next year, but is it really worth it to do so? As far as Holliday is concerned, is his injury really serious enough to justify IR?

I'd

Can confirm Holliday and Manningham to IR reports, per source.
