The Cuts
UPDATED 3:30 PM
Here are the cuts so far announced by the Giants:
QB Anthony Wright
QB Andre Woodson
FB Robert Douglas
WR Marcus Monk
WR Brandon London
TE Eric Butler
TE Jerome Collins
OL Kurt Quarterman
OL Na'Shan Goddard
OL Andrew Bain
OL Digger Bujnoch
DE Wallace Gilberry
DE Alex Morrow
DT Jeremy Clark
DT Ogemdi Nwagbuo
LB Tank Daniels
LB James Terry
CB Geoffrey Pope
S Stuart Schweigert
OL Cliff Louis
CB Darren Barnett
The Giants are reportedly going to sign John Carney, who played for the Rams when they were still in Clevel....I mean Los Angeles, to handle the kicking. Carney worked out for the Giants today
That is 22 cuts, but someone will have to go to make room for John Carney. My money is on Reuben Droughns.

Other cuts
I will post some other notable cuts in the threads as the day goes on
Texans cut DE-LB Roosevelt Colvin
Saints cut S Lance Schulters
Browns released kicker Jason Reda, a rookie from Illinois. This may be a guy the Giants want to look at. His last two years in Illinois he was 31 for 37 on FG’s, and missed only one extra point in 4 years. He was also 3 for 3 from over 50 yards as a senior. Also, he grew up in IL, so he should be used to kicking in bad weather. This is definitely a guy I think the Giants should take a good look at.

2 QBs?
Wow – that seems pretty risky. Any chance that they will put Woodson on the practice squad? Seriously, we have all seen games where 2 QBs get knocked out in the same game, what do the Giants do?
Also, I am disappointed to see Pope go. I was rooting for him
Pope
Me, too. And they kept the two old DBs. As Ed pointed out, Pope wasn’t making plays in preseason. They might pick up a QB released by another team. I thought Gilberry might make it (not with Kiwi moved, I guess) and London as well. They’re sticking with Moss instead. Well, he’s looking better. I love it when the D has to interefere with speed guys on the long ball.

John Carney
This one has me scratching my head a bit. It would have been nice to see them bring in a young kicker, like Jan Stenerud.

In case you are keeping score at home
Between Feagles and Carney, the Giants have 86 years worth of kickers on the roster

Schweigert
He’ll find a home somewhere, he’s a better safety than a few teams have starting.
As far as Carney, I know he’s old as dirt, but his accuracy isn’t bad. He won’t make any long ones, but Tynes is supposed to be gone only for a few games.

Hefty Lefty
This has crossed my mind as well. Apparently the Giants were so unimpressed with Wright and Woodson they feel they can get a better backup off the waiver wire.
Lorenzen
He did get waived by the Colts today. I think he ends up back with the Giants. There will still be a couple of adjustments to this roster in the next day or so.

Chris Simms
Was waived today by the Bucs

Do it!
Take Simms, Jerry. He is better than hefty. Hell he might be better than Carr. Come on…let’s vote on it.
