Cut down day, Saturday August 31

The fumble against Tampa didn't help Gray.

Certainly not... does it mean Gillislee is safe? For now... maybe. I think there's a 50/50 chance we bring in another running back between now and next Sunday.

till what time do they have today ?

I think the fact he was a free agent and Gillislee was a draft pick had more to do with Gray being cut. Hopefully the Dolphins can add a veteran RB to the roster and Gillislee can be cut also. Perhaps he can be added to the practice squad once he clears waivers, but I don't think Gillislee showed enough in preseason to be a member of the final 53.

I hope so. I want to give Thomas one more chance to see if he can turn it around but those odds seem low.

Hope he lands on the practice squad.

Then again, I hope they're keeping an eye on the other runners that are cut. Saints better not get cute with Khiry Robinson. He made our defense look silly.

I was never impressed by Gray and didnt understand the enthusiasm by some fans.:huh:

To me he is smallish bowling bowl type of runner with little power and wiggle .

Having said that Gilly needs to step up his game too.I expect we will be adding another RB soon.

agree with you about Gray.. he reminded me of a cross between Mark Higgs and Aaron Craver. Small back with no lateral agility.

I was hopeful because at Notre Dame he simply had a nose for finding the endzone when a team got inside the 20s. Would have been nice to have a back who could do that on a consistent basis.

Gillisleeelelelllliee probably made because he does contribute some on ST. I don't think I saw Gray out there on any ST plays.

That was stoopid. If you claim to be a fan, the least you could do is spell his name right. There's only 6 "e"s in Gillisleelelelllliee

So it begins...

First cut is RB Jonas Gray

I believe we have 21 more to go?

Will update thread... feel free to do the same :wink2:

Good. Cannot give the ball up when you are on the bubble. He's outta here.

I would like to get RB Robinson from the Saints, I really like the idea of having him in our backfield

I agree with you.

he hasn't been released yet.

Nah I think he means that early on a few of us might have felt Gray was going to take over Thomas' role. I did...swing and a miss by me

Oh, well Gray fumbled and didn't really do enough positive to make the team over guys that could be claimed off waivers. Daniel Thomas didn't either, nor Mike Gillislee, but they've got draft status working in their favor.

No I was referring to the gray cut. He was built up to be DTs replacement. Though I guess it became pretty obvious as preseason went on that wasn't happening

Gray was definitely on STs (at least the KR unit) in the last game.
