I'd be surprised if he's cut. He might not be ready to start but you can work with him imo.

I'm working under the assumption that Calhoun is basically on a trial until we get Isidora and Boehm up to speed. I get the impression they want Reed focusing on center
but we only have 9 DB's as of now and Aikens is one of them so I'm pretty sure we'll bring at least one more DB

Very true, and it's not surprising. But, I am bummed. Our TE corps is very young, with only O'Leary having any real experience. We definitely could have benefitted from a hard working veteran voice to keep that group focused and hard grinding. Coaches can say the words, but it is received differently from players than when a veteran tells them. That TE room is high on potential, but low on experienced guidance.
Brett, what are the chance we find a taker for kiko at this time?

C'mon Mike Mayock. You want Kiko in Oakland. You NEED Kiko in Oakland!

Maybe, but as the cuts get closer to the bone we'll also be churning the bottom few spots of our roster trolling for talent.
Probably gonna pick someone else up yes. My point was Armstrong didnt show enough on defense to get on the team with ST play
Think we are down to 3 left.
Mo Smith still hanging around
7 WRs still
6 RBs
And the young TE Myriack contines to stick.

I think part of it is that Needham had some good tape from last year's camp and undoubtedly showed something in practices where the public wasn't privy. For him it could be more of a matter of learning the defense rather than ability. So, given our tanking/rebuilding year, we're more open to taking a kid with ability that needs time to learn the system. Just my guess.
So at last count Miami still has 5 RB's and 7 WR's on the team?

Carradine's age was probably the biggest factor, considering that he made some plays but didn't really stand out over the younger guys like Ledbetter and Hendrix. Wouldn't be surprised if we sign a DE from another team.
Armstrong is the big surprise for me. Thought he was excellent on ST and played well covering the slot. I was wrong on him. Thought he would eventually challenge to overtake McCain's role. Lammons was the big ST standout though, and can also cover the slot.... probably made him (and McTyer for that matter) expandable. Obviously they like Wiltz a lot too.
Fingers crossed on Laird for me. Really hope he sticks.

Very Interesting..

Hurns is still on the roster. Makes me think they've gotta be working a trade for 1 of our WR's. I don't see any other reason why Hurns would still be here.
