Not yet. Guys like DJ Bryant, Hebron Fangupo, Case Keenum and Shawn Loiseau I expect to land on the PS. But they were long shots for the team, some more so than others.

Thanks for announcing what you find on twitter.

You guys must not watch much CBs in coverage and/or game film.

Carmichael is rarely out of position, unlike Jackson, Harris, McManis...why? Because he diagnoses plays better on the onset. He's smarter, quicker and has the body size you need in this league. Moreover, his closing speed is a lot quicker if the WR gets a step on him, while, I might add, the way he turns his head and looks for the ball in stride is textbook. The way he uses his hands in coverage without drawing a penalty is just what you want. His speed is just as good or better than McCain's.

The only glaring flaw I see in Carmichael's game so far is his run support. K. Jackson has him beat on that facet of the game. Then again, I made it clear I was talking about a "pure cover corner."

While McManis might be a better special teams player than Carmichael, it's apparent that that's all McManis will ever be. His extended reps last night sort of showed that, yeah? Yeah.

Texans part ways with fullback Moran Norris, per league source.

QB Beck has made the 53-man roster said a person familiar with his status. So the #Texans will carry three and likely put Keenum on P squad

I had DJ Bryant making the team. He's had a pretty strong preseason. I stuck him on my roster last minute, though. Just a fringe guy. No big surprise that he got cut.

Moran Norris cut

[msbbc833]

You knew Norris was gone when he dropped 2 wide open passes. Flashbacks to Vickers!!! See ya!!

Same here.

I would have liked to see them keep him though, but just too many bodies at OLB.

WTF is Keo still doing even being in the equation? He would have been one of the first guys I let go. No brainer IMO.

I never felt good about Norris.

I'm calling it now. Keo is the new Jacoby.

Of these I thought DJ Bryant had the best showing last night.

Agree with this. Being on IR last year this is basically his rookie year.

I prefer to keep 5 OLBs though. OLBs make for good special teams players, it keeps the pass rushers fresh, etc. I would much rather be short at QB (carrying 2 instead of 3) because lets face it, if your top 2 guys go down, the season is screwed anyway.

My roster had 6 OLB's with Nading, Braman and Bryant all making it behing the top three...

I think Nading and Braman still make it...But we'll see....

Maybe they are mostly cutting the guys they want to get onto the PS first...

I went with 5 with DJ as my 5th. I didn't think Nading was going to make it.

BUT... they had Nading playing some ILB last night so he might make it on versatility.
