More cuts on Black Tuesday

More cut updates - remember Saturday is the big day and lots of platyers will drop. I have high hopes that Blurb faves Steve Johnson (BUF), Joey LaRocque (CHI) and Josh Johnson (TB) will be on the squads on opening day.

49ers
DT Joe Cohen, TE Cooper Wallace, S Lewis Baker, QB Kyle Wright, G John Booker
Bills DB Kennard Cox, WR C.J. Hawthorne, P D.J. Fitzpatrick, DE Shaun Nua
Bucs WR Paris Warren, LB Antoine Cash, S Donte Nicholson

Added players from earlier:
Texans -
OL Scott Jackson (foot) onto IR

More should be coming - and Saturday could be brutal. Again, props to jeter23 over at the footballguys.com message board whose list thread is pinned at top and has been where I am going to make sure I miss nobody.

Other notes of notes -

Cincinnati Bengals
According to HC Marvin Lewis, Jerome Simpson could open the season as the Begnal's #3 WR. that's a huge turn of events from earlier this preseason, when Simpson was struggling. How much this will pay off will depend on two things - the health of the Dynamic Duo (Housh and CJ) and if Ben Utecht puts up numbers like we expect/hope at TE. Late pick at best.

Arizona Cardinals
Regardless of ESPN, Chris Mortenson and John Clayton, HC Whisenhunt says he won't decide until post-Thursday's game as the starter. I am not a big fan of this situation and frankly, don't know who will end up any week as the starter. Leinart better look nails this week though, or Mort will be right and Whisenhunt - and myself - will be eating crow.

Green Bay Packers
HC Mike McCarthy is talking about decresing Grant's carries over the season, I assume to integrate Brandon Jackson into the game mroe. It doesn't kill Grant's value, but it will lessen the chances he ends the season in the top 10.

Denver Broncos
Brandon Marshall is in NY to protest his suspension - hoping to knock a game off the total 2-3 game time. This has a big impact on rookie Eddie Royal. Royal will be a starter during the time Marshall being suspended and will put up good numbers during that time, so every game counts. He should be ok throughout the year BUT he needs some time to lock that #2
spot up - he's a borderline 3/4 now and will probably be no more than that.

That's it for now - we're back at 6:30am PST/9:30am EST for the morning post and remember the Thundering Blurb Fantasy Football Podcast is back tomorrow night at 6pm PST/9pm EST.

Also, tonight we rebooted the BlogTalkRadio fantasy draft and actually got through it with minimal pain - I'll talk a little about it tomorrow here or on the show.

Have a good night.
