RB-Kept Darkwa. He earned it.
FB-Cut Whitlock. He is a PS player for now.
WR-Washington going to IR solves a problem. I have to think he’s hard to let go. But we need reliability early and Parker/Jones provide that with Randle and Cruz both questions. Odds are both aren’t kept but for now I did keep both.
TE-I don’t think they want to cut Robinson. He is still the better blocker and Cunningham doesn’t give you much there. But Cunningham made plays. I really wouldn’t be surprised if they tried to get Cunningham to the PS. But I think he made it.
OL-I kept 8. I think we can have Cleary on the PS and he isn’t really the backup LT. Pugh is. Donnelly also is probably a PS player. I would have kept Jones but he got hurt. Beatty will be back so my guess is they save a spot by going with 8 for now with 2-3 on the PS and Beatty on the horizon.
DL-My next cut would probably be Wynn. Or the 7th WR. But he also made plays (against backups) last night. He is what he is. No great physical traits but he has things coaches like.
LB-I am not enamored of Unga. He’s ok. I would keep him on the PS but he isn’t a player right now.
CB-I kept Brown because they kept him so long so they must feel he will be back and worth the spot. And have made the team prior to getting hurt. Hosley and Harris are on and Wade is off.
S-This will change. Meriweather is on the edge. I assume Brown is ticketed to start but wasn’t ready last night. Collins and Taylor have gotten better over camp but I don’t think you want them as the tandem. Too little experience.
K-Boswell is nice but I can’t see cutting Brown.
Wynn is probably going to start  
pjcas18 : 9/4/2015 3:01 pm : link
(at least for now) and he was your next cut?
Mort, you cut Ashlee Palmer  
FranknWeezer : 9/4/2015 3:07 pm : link
but didn't mention him. Should allow you to add one more back. Unga?
very good list  
Vanzetti : 9/4/2015 3:09 pm : link
I think you are very close to what the final 53 will be.

But to forestall getting clobbered with negative posts from your fellow BBIers, you should have included a footnote with Holsey's name that reads: "Giants keep Holsey despite his being the third worst player in NFL history, behind only Adrien Robinson and Stevie Brown."
I agree it's a good list  
SirYesSir : 9/4/2015 3:14 pm : link
although with the health of some of our linebackers, I think they'd like to keep one more guy. Might be Unga or Palmer, might be another team's cut, but I think they'll keep 7.

I think Darkwa goes in that scenario.
They've got to cut bait on Herzlich  
Rocky369 : 9/4/2015 3:15 pm : link
if it's between that and keeping Unga.
Holsey  
Rong5611 : 9/4/2015 3:18 pm : link
I'd keep Wade over Holsey. I'd keep another OL (Gettis?) and cut Darkwa (as much as I like him).
Sorry, left Palmer out  
mort christenson : 9/4/2015 3:22 pm : link
But he is a cut. There are 53 players I listed that I kept. So no room for Unga. Or Palmer.

Unga and Whitlock and Wade are training camp players. Their upside is limited. They make nice stories and may have roles in the right situation but they aren't going to make or break a team if they are where they should be; the 51st thru 57th players in camp.
You both cut  
Lionhart28 : 9/4/2015 3:29 pm : link
and kept Parker. I also think one of Cleary/Donnelly sticks.
hosley has got to go  
GiantsFan84 : 9/4/2015 3:33 pm : link
I'm sorry but he is terrible.
Cut Hosely  
GiantBlue : 9/4/2015 3:59 pm : link
Keep UNGA!
kept Parker  
mort christenson : 9/4/2015 4:05 pm : link
had cut him but then switched it to kept. Mistake that I didn't delete the cut.
I pretty much agree.....  
BillKo : 9/4/2015 4:29 pm : link
except for Hosely. I'd keep Wade (although, admittedly, not sure who really is better). I just think Hosely f***s up everytime he's in there.

Never liked Herzlich after the first year, I'd go for the Unga kid.
I'd also look to replace Merriweather...  
BillKo : 9/4/2015 4:30 pm : link
ASAP.

Keeping Parker is crucial, IMO, knows the offense, can contribute, esp with Cruz's health in doubt.
Wade Instead of Hosley,  
clatterbuck : 9/4/2015 5:30 pm : link
maybe Palmer instead of Casillas or Herzlich, and one more OL -- Gettis or Cleary?
Wade instead of Hosely  
Peter from NH (formerly CT) : 9/4/2015 6:12 pm : link
I don't like Parker or Jones on the team.

Jones knows the system and of the backups with Cruz out has the most consistent hands. Parker if not for his ability in the return game I have no problem getting rid of. Hosley looked awful as a PR and we don't have many options although with his running style I wonder if Darkwa could do that
Harper  
giantsfan87 : 9/4/2015 7:25 pm : link
Harper could be a solid PS candidate if he clears waivers...
Won't cry losing  
5BowlsSoon : 9/4/2015 10:34 pm : link
Herz
Hosley
Robinson
Cooper will get hurt so why bother
Kuhn
Parker- on the fence.
