Hackney was cut so he could be placed on the practice squad. He is still with the team, but just not on the active roster.

Feel kinda bad that Martinez got cut. Hackney was good but I guess Ramsey’s little experienced helped him. We got Barret on the practice squad so that’s good. I thought that they should have cut either Green Or winborn. Larsen and Woodyard showed potential and should add depth to the linebackers. My guess is that Jack W will be returning kicks if Royal produces good numbers at WR.

BigManDan:
Although the point is moot. Arizona played their firat string defense into the third quarter.
b-smooth: Not very smooth of you. Sapp wasn’t cut, he was put on IR.
Why draft somebody if you’re going to cut him? Players are drafted for their potential as it’s impossible to predetermine their actual ability. Obviuosly, the vast majority of the 250ish players drafted each year don’t cut the mustard. If evaluating players were an exact science, Rod Smith would have been a 1st rounder not an undrafted free agent. Drafting is a guessing game that hitting it right 50% of the time is way above average. The Broncos hit on all but one and he’s on the practice squad. I bet there’s a lot of teams out there envious of the home run the Broncos hit in this years draft.

Oh, and I bet Sam Paulescu has a job before the season starts.

First of all, bummer about Alridge and Sapp. Alridge was going to ba an awsome change -of-pace back–obviously not durable enough to be anywhere near an every down back though. I was looking forward to having the pace of the two slashing speedsters (Young and Hall) changed up with the even speedier slasher. O-well.

At least with Sapp injured, it made the decision about Hillis and Pittman for us.

I’m a little sad to see Martinez gone. I liked his story. Practice squad?

Hackney was fun to watch on Friday, but Alridge set the offensive tone and was the player of the game. That speaks for itself, when the third/fourth-string back is more of an impact player than you are. I wish Hack all the best, and hope Cutler don’t get hurt.

Go Broncos!!!

cutting barret is a shock to me, he has performed well in the preseason. hope he makes practice squad. all other cuts make sense, i would rather have hacket than ramsey as backup but ramsey has the experiance hackett lacks. hackett just has not played against any quality players. Glad we dumped martinez, he was never effective and he never took it to the next level.

Too bad about Martinez. He really helped the Team last year. Is DB Jack Williams going to return punts for us now?

I just want to see us sign Dre Moore or Derek Lokey as they were cut from the Bucks and Chiefs respectively. Talk about a good chance of picking up some young promising DT prospects.

I’d get rid of Clemons for one of these guys in a heartbeat.
