macroboy Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Adi Kunalic cut by Carolina Ricky Henry cut by Chicago Octavien- Cleveland Chris Brooks- Indy Phillip Dillard- NY Giants Keith Williams - Pitt Anthony West - 49ers Pierre Allen- Seattle I think that is all. Hopefully some catch on practice squads. Quote Link to comment
HeyBurke Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Kind of surprised none of our guys got cut by Washington. Glad they didn't, though! Quote Link to comment
Enhance Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 That's too bad for some of those guys, especially the likes of Dillard and Henry who I thought had pretty good potential. Quote Link to comment
frazier9495 Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Carolina should have cut Mare and saved some $$$ no Quote Link to comment
Blackshirt316 Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Kinda shocked Allen and Henry got cut and really shocked Dillard got cut by the Giants. Also kind of a little surprised the colts cut Brooks but they have a ton of wideouts. The rest don't surprise me at all... Adi would have a job a year ago in the league but with the new kickoff rules guys with mediocre legs can kick off just as good as guys with great ones. Quote Link to comment
okaive Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Shocked that Niles isn't on that list. Feel for Ricky though. Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Article on Adi. Talks about him drilling a 62-yarder. There are so many good reports about Niles Paul, by the way. One Redskins vet reportedly said that Paul outplayed their third-round receiver, Hankerson. I saw another article that talked about Paul having better hands than Hankerson (along with the caveat 'although that doesn't mean much.') Another talked about how well Paul was catching the ball. Many mentioned his ST ability. We all saw Helu tearing it up against Indy. He is widely expected to be the #2 back eventually, but that may be premature for now. Lots of stuff about him being very far away in his blitz pickup responsibilities. Interestingly, our last pro RB, Brandon Jackson, had blitz pickup as probably his biggest strength. Found a bit on Gomes, and supposedly, he stood out among the safeties. So it sounds like the Redskins really knew what they were doing, when they picked three Huskers in last April's draft.

okaive Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Where in the hell was Paul's catching abilities when he was at NU then? Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Kinda surprised to see Pittsburgh cut Keith Williams. Steelers need help on the OL, and don't have any depth at guard. I could see Keith catching on somewhere else. He's good enough to play Sundays. Quote Link to comment
Moiraine Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Where in the hell was Paul's catching abilities when he was at NU then? I'll believe he can catch the ball consistently in a real game situation when I see him catch the ball consistently in a real game situation. Quote Link to comment
GMoose Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Looks like Adi's skill was rendered nearly useless when they implemented the new kickoff rule. Why pay a guy to kick 10 yards past the endzone when any normal kicker can get it 5 yards deep consistently? Sucks for him. Quote Link to comment
PaulCrewe Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Ricky Henry was resigned by the Bears and put on their practice squad. Also DJ Jones has been signed and added to the Dolphins practice squad Quote Link to comment
tschu Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 I'm pretty surprised Dillard got cut. Quote Link to comment
Blaze1up Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Kind of surprised none of our guys got cut by Washington. Glad they didn't, though! My last pick in fantasy was Helu, I think he will start at some point. Quote Link to comment
JoeHuskers! Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Sucks about Adi, especially after that kick and how much his team believed in him Quote Link to comment
