Yeah, I'm really hoping someone can step it up. Looking at the roster, I think there is still a chance the Giants take 7 wideouts, gives them more options if someone gets hot. Since I'm bored, I'm looking through the positions:

QB: They only took 2 last year because they needed 2 kickers, but I think they'll stick with just Manning and Carr again. I have a hard time seeing both Bomar and Woodson getting claimed, so one of them can stay on the practice squad.

RB: Jacobs, Bradshaw, and Ware are all there...and I'm guessing they'll take a 4th, which will be either Patrick Allen or someone that gets dropped from another team.

FB: Madison Hedgecock

WR: After tonight it's safe to say that 6 have spots sealed: Smith, Hixon, Manningham, Nicks, Barden, Moss. Still an offchance Derek Hagan makes it, if Tyree made the team it would solely be due to past reputation with Coughlin.

TE: Boss and Beckum are both there...I'd rank Matthews ahead of Johnson due to blocking ability. So it looks like Darcy is on the cutting room floor, unless they were to opt to bring 4 TE in lieu of a 7th WR.

OL: Diehl, Seubert, O'Hara, Snee, McKenzie, Boothe, Beatty, Reyes...considering how durable the starters have been I'd say those 8 are more than enough. Koets and Whimper are no great loss.

DE: Tuck, Umenyiora, and Kiwanuka give 3 strong, but there will probably be one more. I'd say Tollefson is a safe bet to return, and probably the best option.....though if there is a way to forecast if a team would grab Maurice Evans if they tried to place him on the practice squad, I'd keep him.

DT: Canty, Robbins, Bernard, and Cofield are all there...but Coughlin traditionally carries five and I doubt that will be any different this year especially with injury concerns. Jay Alford is probably going on IR so I'd tag Leger Douzable as his potential replacement.

LB: I see 8 going here...Pierce, Clark, Kehl, DeOssie, Blackburn, Sintim, Goff, Wilkinson. When Boley comes off the suspended list for week 2, odds are either Goff or Wilkinson gets the axe.

CB: Ross, Webster, Dockery, and Thomas are there.....but there are a ton of undrafted free agents going for that 5th spot. Bruce Johnson, Travonti Johnson, DeAndre Wright, etc.

S: Sorta like a lot of positions on the team, most of them are set but still one open slot. Johnson, Phillips, and Brown are there, I'd guess Rashad beats out Vince Anderson for the final slot.

K/P: Tynes and Feagles.

We'll see Saturday I suppose. I love following the blogs on cutdown day.
