Cut Day - Updated

"I don't make decisions. They make decisions with how they play."

- Mike Tomlin

Well said, even for Tomlin, who has "coachspeak" down to a science.

So today's cut day in the NFL. Rosters have to be cut from 75 to 53.

A reminder for those that do make the team in final cuts, you don't want to celebrate in front of guys that just died.

Stefan Logan cemented his name on the roster last night with his 80 yd punt return for a td being the cherry on top of a tremendous pre-season. Thank God we don't have to watch the likes of Moore and Closet Shitter return kickoffs anymore. Sure they were safe returners, but that's the problem. They'd take it out to the 25 and that's about it. This also allows Santonio Holmes to focus solely on receiving and not have to worry about an injury in the punt return game.

The only other "big choice" is whether to keep Isaac Redman or not. If Tomlin sticks to his quote, then Redman makes it (all he's done is score touchdowns when asked), but who's out of the backfield at that point? If Redman's cut, it's against what Tomlin stated, but on one hand is understandable with the depth they have at running back.

"I prefer tough cuts. Easy cuts are not fun for a guy in my position."

- Mike Tomlin

Well Coach, you've got a couple tough ones. Have fun.

I'd love to post what Bouchette had to say about cut day, but the greediness of the P-G doesn't make that so. One question though, it's a "members only" site, does that mean you get one of these for signing up?
