I thought they would keep Brodie Croyle... I'm a little surprised to see they didn't.

They said last night that Croyle had really looked bad during camp and that they expected he might be on the cut list.

That fb maui'a has impressive size. He ran over someone in a play that stood out to me

maybe they'll pick up Brady Quinn after we cut him.

and on a side note, I'd be willing to take a look at Pago Togafau based solely on the "cool football name" factor.

Smart move by them. The fact that nobody else has made all of their cuts yet means that rosters (like ours) are still loaded and nobody else has room to sign these guys. That means most of them will clear waivers in the next 24 hours and they'll have their pick of the guys they want to put on their practice squad.

We should've made our cuts today so when the roster cuts come tomorrow, we'd be ready to load up our roster with a new backup O-line.

He was pretty fat.
