NFL roster cuts: Rams cut seven, twenty more to go

PrintThe St. Louis Rams made seven roster cuts this afternoon. All of the players released today were undrafted free agents this year, a group that got a particularly raw deal because of the lockout. Those seven moves put the roster at 73, which means head coach Steve Spagnuolo and his staff have 20 more cuts to make before tomorrow's 4 p.m. Eastern deadline. And who were these players?
DE Demario Ambrose, CB Tae Evans, LB Pete Fleps, T Cody Habben, G Randall Hunt, CB Jeremy McGee and FB Van Stumon, all were undrafted rookies. I feel for the UDFAs this season. Normally, teams sign them the day after the draft, sort of an eighth round. Through minicamps and OTAs, they get a more thorough look from coaches, the chance to learn the system and get to know the ropes of being an NFL player. I'll spare you the hackish sportswriter cliches about broken dreams, etc. At the end of the day, the NFL is a business like anything else, something that it's easy to forget as a fan. Undrafted free agents have a a tough enough time cracking the roster, and that hill was even steeper this year. Best of luck to all these guys and the rest of the players to be cut by the end of the day tomorrow.
Spagnuolo revealed some more information today, sort of.
- Mark Clayton will most likely start the year on the PUP list. Making him the wide receiver cavalry come week seven. You thought he was fine? He is, but think football shape.
- TE Michael Hoomanawaui will be limited this week. Keep an eye on him for week one.

I think Clayton will start right away
It only took him one week to learn the offense last year, I expect he will be playing by week 2.
Me too-according to the physical he took by the Pats, he was cutting and running.
Pats wanted to think about his to be contract, so Clayton bolted back home-
In the cool still quiet hours of night, you can hear Eagles players softly uttering love words to themselves while kissing their hands and arms. "I am the Dream team-I am the Dream team"
I'm thinking
Clayton, MSW, Salas, Kendricks, SJax, Amendola. In the first few plays against the eagles. That looks like a pretty deadly lineup to me. Then you rotate in Caddilac, Norwood, Avery, Pettis, etc.
Wow, McD is gonna have some fun installing this weeks attack offense.
McD is on a mission-to clear his name
So you can bet he is going to game plan like hell this year-good for us!!

Unless they want to play some sort of sick joke on them.
2 men enter 1 man leaves. THOSE ARE THE RULES OF THUNDER DOME!
I'm sure they are not trying to make it worse than its going to be.
Hey baby, guess what I just got cut from the team.
I feel for them. The NFL is a tuff business.
Get the real perspective on Vick. He killed dogs, not humans.
There are people making plenty of $$$ in the NFL right now that were involved in the deaths of human beings, not animals. They be Ray Lewis, Donte Stallworth and even our former DE Leonard Little among others… Vick did more time than any of them, which goes to show how screwed up our priorities are these days.
vick is a good qb bottom line
yes he did kill dogs…bohoo i see dog fights every week where im at…yes i wanna beat vick..yes i feeel like hes overrated…but im not going to hate on that dude he doing good..and hes boucning back well

Every time some one brings up Vick it's always about dog fighting
Here is an idea LET IT GO!

Michael Vick is a murderer, I don't understand how you could argue against that.
Would it be okay if the Eagles owner decided to hang Vick after he lost a game?
If ur going to play the human vs. animal card don’t even speak! Like I said yes he probably did kill those mutts but those mutts weren’t humans so you trying to put it in the same sense is ludicrous! Things happen Pastor Stopspe things happen…

It isn't murder. Killing a person would be murder.
What he did is wrong but you don’t mention that Kobe raped a woman when you talk about him but it’s all about dog fighting when you talk about Vick. Can we stop talking about it. I seriously can’t stand it anymore.

That’s exactly what I’ve been trying to say! Leave the past in the past… I mean what can we do now with that situation? NOTHING! So droppping it shouldn’t sound bad!
by Boy Yottic on Sep 2, 2011 9:21 PM CDT via mobile up reply actions
That's because he didn't rape a woman.
And honestly, if you’re still willing to take the side of a girl who had semen from MULTIPLE men found in her panties, while also bragging to her friends about having sex with Kobe, then I don’t even know what to say.

For what it's worth, below is the definition of the word "murder."
“The unlawful killing of one human by another, especially with premeditated malice.”
I've had it when I was 4.
Of course, I found out it was dog AFTER I ate it when I saw dogs caged up outside, but it was good before I knew what it was lol. Korea…haha

Good Job
You are so right. In order for us to love we must abandon the hate we really have in our hearts. Some of us who watch football knows deep down in their hearts is hate for other human beings. They try to hide it but when they open their mouth, their heart will spill it out.
I mean enough is enough broram’s! Let the man be..! We see em week 1 so as a team well try to stop the potent offense but after that week & maybe in the playoffs GET OFF THE GUYS JOCK STRAP!

DX, Gilyard
Both going to get through to the PS not much interest in them else where
As long as we dont give up on gilyard! Send em to the practice squad, have him chained down forcing him to learn the playbook… Do whatever possible jus keep him close!
by Boy Yottic on Sep 2, 2011 9:04 PM CDT via mobile up reply actions
Chain him up
and give him a quiz three times a day. If he fails the quiz, no food. Motivation to learn the playbook, eh?
