Initial 53 | Cuts and Practice Squad Buildout

[Bolt-O]

7WR impressed Harbaugh, was thinking that was the right number.

I feel Hortiz had some hard thoughts on whether to keep Brash. I think a brilliant move would of been to cut Stick and keep Brash. Most likely no one would of claimed Stick and could of then resigned if we aren't getting a QB but I hope we are so if we are going to cut him anyways ....

[Whydachargers?]

I'm hoping if any team is reaching out to Brash that it's for their practice squad and Brash decides to stay here.

That would be an ouch if he leaves us.

11 DBs.

[Charge!]

Vested Vets get released, so they can sign with any team. Waived means that they can get claimed through the waiver process.

ahhhh.... thank you!

[Ghost of Quacksaw]

Niemann starting on the IR really changes the calculus. Frees up another spot.

Not surprised by Fisk not making it. Bad luck with the injury. I think there's a chance he comes back later.

The takeaway with Smartt over Parham in this new regime, is blocking.

Morris-Brash not making it could be due to 7 WR's, 6 DL, or 5 Safeties. Tough cut, especially after the last game.

Super glad they kept Rice and Simi!

IS THE STREAK BROKEN? An Initial 53 with NO UDFA's.

A. J. Finley, although he was in the UDFA class of 2023.

7WR impressed Harbaugh, was thinking that was the right number.

NFL teams almost never roster 7 WR. I wasn't sure they would even roster 6. I won't be surprised if there are only 6 on the roster at season's end, after injuries and they see who is up to the task and who is not.

JH thinks Stick has progressed.

Harbaugh sees more of Stick than we do and JH's track record on grading talent is pretty good so I'll trust that he made the right decision on Stick....for now.

[Whydachargers?]

NFL teams almost never roster 7 WR. I wasn't sure they would even roster 6. I won't be surprised if there are only 6 on the roster at season's end, after injuries and they see who is up to the task and who is not.

I wouldn't be surprised if we traded a WR for a good blocking TE.

[Bolt-O]

Kind of short PC, Reporters were asking about faith and how its shaped his decisions. Stick and the 7 WRs was the only roster related questions.
