Talking Cuts
A few surprises on the cuts and a few obvious choices. Let's look at the surprises:
Reggie Newhouse (WR) - Decent player and I thought was better than Leron McCoy, but McCoy was a draft pick this year, and Denny doesn't like cut his draft picks.
Aaron Golliday (TE) - A good blocker, I am not surprised that Edwards and Bergen made the team, but I am surprised that they kept John Bronson. I never saw him play, but I guess he is a good special teamer. That means they kept 3 tight ends on roster.
3 fullbacks were kept on roster - Harold Marrow, James Hodgins, and Obafemi. This is a big surprise, especially since the fullback is not used in Green's system much. Marrow is a great special teamer though. This caused the Cardinals to cut Damian Anderson and go light on the defensive backfield since they kept 10 offensive lineman.
Robert Tate - he started camp as the #1 cornerback opposite David Macklin, everybody raved about his play, then Antrel Rolle signs his contract, after about 3 days takes over as starter, Tate moves to #3, then Eric Green takes over, and Tate just kept falling, but not because he did anything wrong. With that being said , I like our 4 cornerbacks, I just hope there are no injuries.
Ernest Shazor - I thought he would make the team, he definately will be on the practice squad if another team does not pick him up. They just like Adrian Mayes better (also played NFL Europe) due to experience. Shazor left school early for big dreams in the NFL - kind of sad, he should have played his final year in college and maybe had a shot for early round 2006 draft. He should keep his spirits up, because he eventually will make it in the NFL.
Ian Allen (RT) - he has been a starter, this also means Green's experiment of converting Fred Wakefield to an offensive lineman might be working. Rolando Cantu is not a surprise as far as playing capability, but he has been the unnofficial spokesman for the Cardinals in Mexico game and is from Mexico - kind of a media thing, but they can't keep him just because of that, every roster spot is important. This is a small sign the Cardinals organization is changing - changing towards winning.
A few final thoughts - Denver only keeps two QB's on roster - should we adopt that philiosphy? Also, Denver cut Quentin Griffen - Cardinals should pick him up.
