Roberts isn't getting cut. There is room for him and Williams on the roster. With the number of nicked up WR's on this team I bet we carry 6 WR's so Komar could make it as well.

I dunno Cardiac. If you saw him in camp he fumbled about 1/2 of Ben Graham's punts and then fair caught in PS game number 1. He has sloppy hands and just can't catch.

Maybe he makes the roster, but as of now he is really shaky to make it, IMO.

Of course it was great seeing so many players of need playing well. Toler, Williams,and Washington the gem of these birds. But just remember it was against a not so good team in Chicago. However I do feel better and wont have to look very far when I play the game again for something good!

IMO Lienart wins this battle. BUt if he does strat he needs to run the team on the field and not have someoine ready to pull hill with each mistake I do feel like some that Whiz will start Anderson.

Andre is a hard worker with a good attitude. He is also a 3rd rd pick. Teams rarely cut 3rd rders in their rookie year. He didn't have hand problems in college so what we are seeing is rookie jitters etc. WR is one of the toughest positions to learn at the NFL level. We noticed his hands problem in preseason because he was thrown to a lot because he was getting open.

Also think about how badly Rashad Johnson played last year and he wasn't cut.

I'm not saying Andre has been impressive, and I trust what you saw and reported at TC. It's almost an unwritten rule that 3rd rd picks aren't cut.

Maybe it is a rule, but not so long ago the Cards cut a #3 before the season.

It's not so much that I don't think he is working hard, it is that he is clearly being beat out by Williams and Komar - not even close.

That was Buster Davis who had a HORRIBLE attitude and work ethic.

Not sure I mentioned this but I think the Cards keep 6 WR's to start the season. Fitz, Breaston, Early, S Williams, Andre and either Komar or OJ. We have several WR's dinged up right now, Early hasn't shaken the injury bug yet and Breaston (who I think is the tuffest player on the team) also had a knee injury last year that slowed him down a bit and kept him out of at least one game.

We are sure to have some turn over next year as Breaston and Early on in he last year of their contracts. Unless the coaches are certain that Andre won't get over his dropsies they will want him for next year.

I watched the game yesterday and TRIED to focus on the OL and was only somewat successful. But, imo, Brandon Keith played much better than he did in the first PS game against Houston. And when he came in, Deuce seemed to play well, also. So I'll add them to the Honor Roll.
