Who will be a "surprise" cut?

[Sarge4Tide]

Which of the Players above who are considered strong candidates to make the team will turn out to be a "surprise" cut and not make the team? (Check all that apply)

[varjet]

1. I wonder whether the Jets can afford to keep Tomlinson if Vanderlann can add more as a pass catcher.
2. I did not check Jalin Marshall, because he will be suspended, but I would rather have Kendrell Tompkins.
3. The fact that Dozier is still on the team is a testament to bad roster management.  My guess that is why Craig Watts played the most snaps of any offensive player against the Titans.
4. Lawrence Thomas is a good player. He would make most other teams.  Too many DL.
5. I really think we should take a chance on Pennel and cut McClendon.  Deon Simon is also making the team.  So those 2 were not checked.
6. Marcus Williams' time may be up.  Hello McDougal.
7. Bruce Carter will likely get bumped by Stanford and others.
8. I did not check Mauldin, but it could happen.  He really  needs to show something...good.
9. Catanzaro could lose out to Martin.

1) Marcus Williams 

2) Lorenzo Mauldin

3) Bryce Petty 

All 3 might get cut and I'd put Skrine on there too if they really like McDougle and Jones.

 

[ASH1962]

Lorenzo Mauldin looks like "Predator", but plays like Cinderella. Snip snip. Bye Bye.

We need a third QB.  My guess is that someone better than Petty ends up on a practice squad.

Petty is a good guy, but even for a QB he was not a good high 4th round draft pick.

[MDL_JET]

Jalin Marshall. Because he should be cut and I'd be surprised if they actually did what they should. 

[kelly]

..cut all of them

Eh I really like Petty. He can sling it better than the other two based on what I've seen and I think he's getting a raw deal. But if they keep him on the roster it's to save face if McCown and Hack are tragic. He can't be a system qb he has too much "run and gun" in him. 

[Beerfish]

We will probably pick up some other teams psqud dregs in a number of positions.

I would dearly love it if we can find a way to trade richardson. we are deep on the dline and we have some young hungry playuersthat will not be that big of a drop off if you ask me.

I think a QB that is very well suited for a WCO that breaks free would be a good replacement for Petty.  Otherwise, it is not worth getting rid of him.  The Jets also definitely need at least one QB for next year.

Jalin Marshall is good in practice 98% of the time. It's just that 2% is really egregiously bad.

Completely agree with this.  We are overresourced on the DL and could use those resources on offense without a noticeable decline in performance.

How McClendon still has a job is beyond me.  I think it is actually not considerate to him for keeping him around so long.

Sounds like Juston Burris and Maudlin should be on the street. Burris simply isn't athletic enough to play corner, and Maudlin is a mess both on and off the field.

no way burris gets cut yet, the fact he gets burned by anderson in practice isn't enough to do it.  at least they have guys who have replaced mauldin.

Petty should ask for his release. It was reported that other teams wanted to trade for him last year, so apparently there are other teams who think he can play, and the Jets are a black hole for young QBs. Being a QB and getting drafted by the Jets is like being five years old and having Casey Anthony as your babysitter.

Yeah, it's unlikely Burris gets cut because he was a draft pick, but he's never going to get faster or more athletic

If Mauldin, Burris and Petty all get cut, these guys are going to have sore johnsons and worn out palms from celebrating . These folks get off on draft picks getting cut so they can tell us all just how bad the GM is . What they don't realize is that if a draft pick gets cut because an UDFA beats him out, the same person brought both players to the roster .

[Ghost]

Our team is not good enough to have "surprise" cuts. Have the people on that list shouldn't be on an NFL roster. 

[KRL]

Marcus Williams.  If Dexter McDougle, Darryl Roberts and Derrick Jones continue to play well I could

see all of them staying

[KRL]

With CB's at a premium, hopefully Maccagnan can trade Williams for a 5th-6th round pick

[Spoot-Face]

QB Bryce Petty -- Won't be cut.

TE Eric Tomlinson -- Don't even consider him a strong candidate to make the team.

WR Jalin Marshall -- Won't be cut, even if he should be. Bowles loves him.

OL Dakota Dozier -- Won't be cut. Don't see anyone as versatile as him for a backup role.

DL Lawrence Thomas -- Won't be cut.

DL Mike Pennel -- Will probably be cut, but that's not surprising. Would be a pleasant surprise if he makes it and McLendon is cut.

DL Deon Simon -- Hell no, won't be cut.

CB Marcus Williams -- On second thought, he could be a surprise cut, though I didn't vote him. Seemed promising a few seasons ago, but hasn't really met expectations much. Would rather keep him over Skrine, though.

CB Darryl Roberts -- Probably won't be cut.

LB Freddie Bishop -- I would be more surprised if a CFL player made the team, especially with all the bodies we have at LB. Probably a PS guy.

LB Bruce Carter -- Yes. As I mentioned, we have a lot of bodies at LB, and I would be surprised if Bowles lets one of his vets get cut, even if he should be.

LB Lorenzo Mauldin -- Yes. Lots of backers, and he has wholly disappointed after his rookie season.

P Lac Edwards -- If they haven't brought in another punter by now, then he's not gonna be cut.

PK Chandler Catanzaro -- I really wouldn't be surprised if he's cut, even with his veteran status.

[dbatesman]

Mauldin and Edwards seem like decent bets. Both were awful picks and they've turned into awful players.

Burris looked pretty good in his rookie season last year he was shadowing receivers pretty well his problem last season was that it seemed like he had no idea the ball was being thrown in his direction. Has he gotten slower this off-season? Athletics should not be his problem.

Yeah 98% of the time he's good...right up until the ball hits his hand. That last 2% of the play...catching the ball really screws him up. 

[Kevin L]

I picked Mauldin. Personally, I would have liked to see if he could play ILB, and kick Lee to the outside where his speed could be used to rush the QB.

Most write-ups had him as a possible safety conversion project due to his lack of make-up speed and sudden quickness. From what I've read of practice twits, he's been a consistent victim of deep ball completions. I like him and decided on him as the defensive player to "pleasantly surprise/breakout" this year as the #2 CB, but it's looking that his lack of speed will expose him and down the depth chart for now. Other than that, he's a big physical CB who can jam WRs @ the LOS and has some ball hawk skills; IF the Wonder Twins (Allen & Maye) at Safety can cover him up top, Burris should be a solid CB for years to come. 

[Larz]

Probably the kicker, but the vast majority of NFL teams only carry 2 QBs, so Petty is on the bubble.

I don't want to pick on the dude because he seems like a decent depth player, but he's a stiff and it appears he's being exposed six ways to Sunday this summer.

That's a good way of putting it: "Stiff" and I agree that he's been toasted a few times on deep routes.

He's definitely NOT a fluid CB in the Aaron Glenn sense. but I think he can develop into a good & serviceable, but not spectacular, #2CB who'll need constant help over the top with WRs who run a sub 4.5

I mean, you're talking about giving a roster spot to a specialty player at that point. May as well just move him to safety and play him in the dime when you cut Skrine.

[HessStation]

I keep forgetting about Bruce Carter. ReLly thought he'd be an impact player.  No sarcasm.

[Integrity28]

I'm kind of perplexed that this is a list of guys that are strong candidates to make the team. 

[rangerous]

none of them are so great that it should be surprise if they're cut. i went with the placekicker.

[thadude]

Petty

[Obrien2Toon]

Mauldin, that trade back makes even less sense now.

Harrison is gone already.

Duke Johnson while not spectacular, is a good serviceable back.

and I hear Eli Harold is about to break out.

That was his old buddies at the Texans taking advantage of a first time GM
