And Then There Were 75...

No surprises here, despite the speculation to the contrary. Tim Carter and Mark Fenton, two (2) guys who were the longest of longshots to begin with, were handed their walking papers. Dunta Robinson was placed on the PUP List, which surprised no one except possibly Dunta himself. And Scott Jackson was sent to IR with a case of plantar fascitis.

You read that last one right. Plantar fascitis. The same ailment that Super Mario played through during his rookie season when everyone called him The Worst Draft Pick In The History Of Mankind. Sure, it can be a season-ending injury for other people, but it was just proof of Mario being overmatched in 2006.

Yeah, you could say I'm still a little bitter about that.

Yawn

since the league lowered the Training camp roster limit to 80 this cut date doesn’t mean a whole lot anymore. Honestly, what’s the point of it really? Does one week make a difference?

Agreed

With another cutdown to 53 coming this weekend, I really don’t see much need for this minimal cut. The last preseason game is where the bubble players get their final chance to impress, so cutting some of them days before the last preseason game seems pointless.

Mario on one good foot was an OK player. Mario on two good feet was a pro bowl player (even if he did not get voted in). Let’s hope Mario this year looks like the guy vs Denver rather than the guy vs Dallas.

GO TEXANS!!!!!!!!!

He did.

Mario had a very good game against Dallas. The problem was that, other than Amobi for about 10 minutes, no one else on that line had any impact at all. Hard to do it all yourself.

Yay, sports.
