Oakland Raiders Final Roster Cuts: The Unchosen Ones ...
Steve Corkran just met with Cable and reports that that the following did not make the Raiders' Roster:
Colt Brennan Quarterback 2
Luke Lawton Fullback 5
Manase Tonga Fullback R
Shaun Bodiford Wide receiver 4
Todd Watkins Wide receiver 3
John Owens Tight end 9
Chris Morris Center 5
Alex Parsons Guard R
Brandon Rodd Guard 1
Alex Daniels Defensive end R
Greyson Gunheim Defensive end 2
Jay Richardson Defensive end 4
Kellen Heard Defensive tackle R
William Joseph Defensive tackle
Chris Cooper Defensive tackle 8
David Nixon Linebacker 2
Slade Norris Linebacker 2
Joe Porter Cornerback 2
Joey Thomas Cornerback 4
Jerome Boyd Safety 2
Swayze Waters Punter 1
Note: Cable indicated that there is one more player to be cut and deliberations are going on now ...
So, Nation, let your voice be heard. If I had my wish it would be Erik Pears getting cut ... if not him, then Ricky Brown.
Bottom Line: With the exception of John Marshall's Defensive Coordinating, everything the Raiders have done this Post/Preseason has been reasonable!!!

Stevie Brown to practice squad
Don’t be surprised if Brown ends up on the practice squad. Also, despite naming Veldheer the starting center, the Steelers released Justin Hartwig. Unless he’s interested in resigning with Pittsburgh for less money to be Maurkice Pouncey’s backup, then I think we should pursue him to be our starter (and move Veldheer back to LT).
Additionally, Seattle released T.J. Houshmanzadeh, so we should also pursue him and drop Figurs in the process.
If Cable didn't dote on his lineman, I'd guess either Pears or Loper
S-O-B: ITS HOW I ROLL, DEAL WITH IT.
Agreed
Think I would keep Loper over Pears, but at least Pears can lineup at T, not necessarily play T, but lineup there :-).

The only place Pears needs to line up is in front of a firing squad

Porter,Boyd and JRich are the only questionable ones
Otherwise this sounds good

I'm reasonably pleased with this cut. Would like to see Ricky Brown and Eric Pears cut too
S-O-B: ITS HOW I ROLL, DEAL WITH IT.
Cut Figurs and pick up Clayton, Cut Pears/Loper and pick up Adam Terry, and cut Hiram Eugene if there isn't a spot for him.
Clayton?
Michael Clayton?

Did he get cut?
Him or TJ would be awesome

A load of LBs and we cut JRich. So why is Scott not listed at DE?

And yet
The guy doesn’t even merit a spot on the official depth chart, hasn’t done anything against a first string defense, etc. Guess we’ll see if he makes it another year.
Jay Richardson, really?
And then God created Saturn... and he liked it, so he put a ring on it.
Twitter me and what not.
Should've cut that bum
Erik Pears and gave a spot to Jay Richardson…What’s the plan at DE Now? Are they moving Trevor Scott back in there, Kamerion Wimbley? Quentin Groves? Thomas howard going back to weakside linebacker…Now I’m completely confused why there are so many linebackers: Goethel, Brown, Howard, Scott, McClain, Groves, Wimbley, S. Williams???
Williams has Got to GO
I am here to inspire and light fires~~~Where there is smoke in the ears, there is me on the mind~~~
Agree Sam Williams Should Be Gone..
I want the “Colt” on our Practice Squad….Let him develop for the future…
Go after TJH so Chaz can wait until healthy to come back…
Get that “C” cut by Pitts so “Vald” can move to “LT” where we need the help…
Find a way to get that “OT” hold-out from “SD”…
Don’t even consider Matt LiarNuts now that he has been cut…
Whether Veld moves to T later or not, his play at C is good enough to start and (finally)
get Chris Morris off the team.

I had to update the Title. It's an SEO thing.

I love SEO.
I just love packing in tags too. You really should tag one of these with “anal hardcore.”
Probably works better on my 49ers posts though… (look at that, a 49ers fan making a gay joke, yes folks, this is because he’s heard them all! :] )

Would have kept Richardson..
but otherwise not too bad. Would have preferred Williams to be gone ahead of Richardson though. Not really surprised at the choices at reciever.
very surprised to see jay richardson get cut
but at the same time, i like the thought of pears being cut….
we need to hurry up n get rid of the pople that are giving up free yards (penalties)
Eugene, Williams, Pears and Figurs
I think any one of these four for the final cut/make room for other teams cut players.
I'm on board with that

Slade Norris
Why would cable cut Norris after he scored 9 points against the Bears on Special Teams?
Sickening, when they could have let Ricky Brown go

Amen Saint and Sons!
Nick Miller will make several memorable plays this season. This guy is going to be special if he can stay on the field , I can feel it. Other than that , really no standout surprises.
Saint...........forget it.
If you write it, they will read. Forget “S.E.O.” man, this is the best Raider blog on the fucking internet, all you are going to do bro is attract donkey,choker and , ah , that other “team” in our division’s fans. You guys are doing just fine with the posse you roll with now, keep up the good work. R.F.F.R.
Thank you, Wyoraider. Btw, I love your lifestyle out in the great outdoors but wired into cutting edge technology - way cool!

Ricky Brown!
I wanted Ricky Brown to be cut! He never fills gaps and never takes on the fullback.He hardly ever wraps up when he tackles. He just throws his body around. I would have liked to see Jay Richardson to stay on the team. I guess Figurs will be cut next.
Here is a link to my recap of the raiders and seahawks preseason game. (I know I’m a little late) ESPN and NFL Network never wants to show the game. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GxkUkDQuKZs
It's disgraceful. I'd bet Stevie Brown could do better than Ricky at MLB.

Stevie Brown
Stevie Brown made too many plays to be cut, that’s a big risk if someone else picks him up. Figurs was way too inconsistant to make the team.
Well, we all agree on some cuts and disagree on others, at the end of the day we have to see how it all plays out....
I do believe WR is a weak link for the Raiders, hopefully, they will come together and someone will become the number 1, to this date we don’t have a number 1 receiver. The Raiders are a much better team now and are well on their way, once the season starts you will get to see Hue’s real play calling, Ever wonder why the first team was successful on the opening drive? then, the team looked flat….lol Well, Hue basically closes the playbook after the first series. The Raiders should do very well this year…Go Raiders
