Didn't Coughlin say that Beckham

would be getting punt return opportunities in the "very near future"? That implied no short-term IR to me.

Good sign he's cut or good sign he's safe?
Kuhn?

Really? Mediocre player who continually gets hurt.I'd rather they kept Quarles then him.

Says he simply left, not left with a giant black trash bag full of his possessions. Safe IMO

it is a lock that someone better than at least one or two members of our current trio will be cut.


Well there have been LBers better than Herz and they were cut. I'm not so sure if it always works that way. I recall TC's comments from cut day 2011.
Kuhn is a young player who finally had a healthy camp.  
djm : 8/30/2014 12:05 pm : link
If the giants liked him last year when he wasn't healthy they were certainly going to like him this year when he was finally able to string together a full healthy offseason. He trained bulked up and practiced. No surprise they kept him.

If Quarles doesn't get to the PS, I'm not going to be happy about keeping Kuhn. As tho anyone cares, lol

Bennett Jackson? He was one of the first cuts (see the OP).

Big Rick is a poster who started a thread about cuts. Look down.
I get that...  
Dunedin81 : 8/30/2014 12:07 pm : link
but there isn't the pressure for an upgrade at the end of our LB rotation the way there is with our second and third TEs.
The problem with scouting the waivers for a TE  
Defenderdawg : 8/30/2014 12:07 pm : link
The Raiders have as big a need as the Giants and they get first opportunity to claim someone...if there is someone they really like they may have to trade.
They don't really have a choice but to keep Brewer.  
Riggies : 8/30/2014 12:08 pm : link
Schwartz getting injured enough to miss games pretty much locked in his roster spot, at least to start the year.
Kuhn plays ST  
Killed the K-Gun : 8/30/2014 12:09 pm : link
Always a factor for the bottom 10 on a roster.

Where does that leave us as far as Gaines? Room for both?

It might mean we don't get first choice, but there will be more than one guy worth his salt on the waiver wire. Might not be a direction we go, but I'd be surprised if we didn't at least take a look.

That can't be a good sign for Herzlich, I'd think

But you have to admit, if he can't beat out MH, he's not that good for now. I know he can and should get better, but we thought that way about MH, and he's just as bad as he was in day one (except ST).

Sometimes I think they tip the wink about the practice squad when they cut them, he might just be thankful for getting on to the practice squad.
no way demps is cut

RB Kendall Gaskins, who rushed for 104 on 29 carries this preseason, has been cut by the Giants, according to a source.

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.


Meh, all that says is player is total shit, noone wantd him ans he's a has been or a never was. Duuno why you thinbk Connor sucks so bad it's some sort or surety he'll be sitting there twiddling his thumbs.Just seems like some stupid shit to say.

If Gaskins is cut, I can't imagine Hillis is also cut. I don't see us going with Cox as the 3rd RB.

keep in mind that the 53-man roster is NOT SET even after today. There is bound to be quite a few roster moves over the next few days. Someone who appears "safe" may not be.
In MY opinion: These cuts are a disaster fortthe Giants  
Dry Lightning : 8/30/2014 12:36 pm : link
Why the fuck do you keep Kuhn. At his best, he is a below average player. He is injury prone and overaged. You cut a guy like Quarles who could be a pro bowl player. Flat out stupid. Hate the Holiday cut, our offense is struggling. We have one gamebreaker (Cruz), one potential gamebreaker (Beckham) and we cut a guy who has proven he can do it in Holiday. What do we need him to prove in the pre season? He proved it against us last year. The Mcmanus cut was equally stupid, this would have been a good year to break in a young kicker. Maybe JR is planning on doing something to surprise me but I think this team is on a rocket ride to the 2015 number one pick.
You hate the Holliday cut
