I was with you. I thought Boyd would be the 3rd guy and they'd try and sneak Brink onto the P/S.

Fletcher was cut? Wow. I would keep him over burnt toast redux.

Walker and Brink may resurface on the P/S.
Maddox is a slight surprise.

Odd change of topic.

[DiehardChris]

Okay, WTF. The Chronicle now says that Tim Bulman was cut... but according to the main site, he's not. I'm guessing the Chronicle is wrong (gasp!), but if it's just a typo I wish they'd fix it.

I just checked Manful's article and Bulman's name is not among the cutees

[76Texan]

So Cliff Washburn sticks with the team?

There was still 1 more cut that needed to be made, maybe it was Bulamn?

Man, Colvin actually looked good and got a couple good pressures on the QB last night. This worries me even more about the D line and their ability get rush the passer.

yes, he did, but we needed him to get that or more pressure against the first teamers in the other 3 games of the preseason versus the 2nd and 3rd stringers last night.

I bet RS and GK had to really wrestle with cutting Colvin. I know I wish he had done what we thought he was going to do.

FWIW ... LZ said Thompson had some explosion coming off the corner . He's also younger and faster ... if he ever plays .

I am hereby surprised that Colvin was cut. I'm guessing the coaches thought that he just was not a good fit at all for the 4-3. Losing Maddox also sucked.

The DC has some guy named Cliff Washburn, an OLineman ?

The Texans said their final cut is being delayed until they continue to evaluate the injury to Brown's back and decide how much he can help the team.
So Brown still may be cut.

he's a warm body at OL.
Remember Salaam is recovering from surgery and I think Chris White is nicked up. So they have two OL guys on the roster that are - for right now - non-functional. So when Salaam & White heal up (maybe before), look for one or two OL guys to be replaced by someone put on waivers by other teams.

FWIW, McClain stated that Chris Brown would be cut. I guess they have to reach an injury settlement.
