I don't think anyone mentioned this...but RB Zach Zanner made the Lions roster and Matt Asiata was cut.

Zenner was the one cut that i was worried about. Coach acts like there is no place for a guy that gets 4+ YPC but unlimited potential for AA or Riddick to get 50+ per touch every time.

Saw a couple of minutes of the Raidus vs Black Hawks pre season coal bowl. If it ever gets to this level of coal and there are no teams such NE or GB to combat the manufactured black hordes of players, I will never watch the NFL again.

Maybe I have just learned to set my expectations really low, but I am actually surprised that yesterday wasn't worse. Gentry and Billingsley are getting sh__ty treatment, but we haven't seen the last of them.

Yes it may seem worse than it really is, but there were some cuts that particularly ticked me off. Like Riley Bullough Bucs who was praised in the "Hard Knocks" series!? Tanner Gentry who proved he could be a deep ball threat. Brandon Reilly who led the Bills shitty team in receiving this pre-season. Scooby Wright started a couple pre-season games, and was suposed to be the main backup MLB. Jordan Tripp for the Packers? Heeney and Cioffi for the Raiders? Nate Gerry Eagles? Rush chiefs had a couple sacks? I understand some of our other guys with injuries, and some underperformed. But if these guys in particular don't find somewhere else to play I'd be suprised.

The Brandon Reilly cut made me furious. The kid can flat our play. Reminded me a lot of Chris Hogan in his style of play who incidentally also got cut by dumb Bills. There was talk he would be brought on to PS. I wouldn't blame him if he gave them the finger and waited for some other team to call him.

We always say here that New England can't keep picking up all the Brandon Reillys and Tanner Gentrys as they get cut by the rest of the league. But by using this strategy the Patriots have a never-ending pipeline of white talent. Hell, all they have to do is wait for the annual white purge every year and then they can scoop up another Edelman, Amendola, Hogan, Ninkovich or Burkhead that the rest of the league doesn't think has sufficient "upside". They can keep dominating the league for years with that strategy.

Pretty sure Reilly was their leading WR in the preseason. Billingsley was the Lions - when you go onto the field, produce and still get cut their is an obvious other agenda at play.

Right. They couldn't have performed any better than they did. Those teams never meant to keep them on the roster in the first place.

Chargers cut Kellen Clemens and Bercovici and just hand Oafdale Jones the backup job - this is how the caste system works.

This one is ridiculous but sums up the Chargers franchise. As a former SD Charger fan it only reconfirms how lame the team is and will continue to be... Perhaps they thought Cardale was a more cerebral player.. my god..

PLAYER ATT YDS YDS/ATT INT LONG TD
Cardale Jones 61 343 5.6 3 38 0
Kellen Clemens 27 199 7.4 2 74 1
Mike Bercovici 21 176 8.4 2 49 0
Philip Rivers 12 141 11.8 0 45 2

Look what the lying k***s at Rotoworld had to say about Billingsley in regards to his release.

Lions waived WR Jace Billingsley.
In the spring, you'd have thought Billingsley was headed for a first-team All-Pro selection this year with the talk coming out of Detroit. Predictably, he was a nobody when the lights came on this summer. Sep 2 - 2:52 PM
These (((people))) lie with absolute glee and without an ounce of shame. A nobody when the summer lights came on would imply that he stunk up the preseason. So if leading the team in receiving throughout the preseason is sh*t, then what does that make their precious blacks who performed worse than Jace?

Sports is a microcosm of how they will take every opportunity from us. They will never allow us to live freely, fairly and in peace. We all know this already but we must absolutely crush our (((enemies))) in media and all other institutions of power. If we do not, then they win, and they will wipe us off the planet and erase any piece of history or memory of our existence.

One thing is for sure the sea change we were hoping for or any semblance of one never arrived. Not sure everyone else feels the same but I do think when white WR's get drafted it is a very positive thing even if they eventually don't make a roster. Not going to sugar coat the disappointment when a white WR gets drafted and never sees the playing field. Still I do like it when they get drafted and why not? Bohringer it seems might be a lost cause. Which is a terrible shame. Still the media had to acknowledge him at draft time and he was talked up for a while and that at least means something positive in the scheme of things.. It boils down to my preference for a white WR getting drafted as opposed to not getting drafted at all when it comes down to the WR's who don't make the squad. At least the drafted guys get some publicity for at least a while. The non drafted guys flitter away without much media noise. Braverman who was drafted the same year as the German also got the axe of course. Sadly the few players that managed to stick barely made their respective teams.
Hard to believe but Alex Erickson according to sources just barely made it and if it was not for his return prowess he would have been out of luck. ( Take notes college white WR's and polish up on your return skills). Meanwhile the caste poster child speedster over hyped John Ross will miss a couple of weeks due to an injury. The Lions from what I hear kept Abbrederis as their last WR over Billingsley due to once again his superior return skills. Jordan Taylor, also by the skin of his teeth, was the last WR the Broncos kept on the 53 man roster. As mentioned here many times neither Erickson or Taylor were drafted along with rising star Adam Thielen so for them making some noise, while rare, takes things in a positive direction. We will have to wait and see if this is just a blip? Sadly none of the undrafted WR's this year made it including favorites Brandon Reilly and Craig Gentry. I suppose it is possible they take the Erickson/Taylor route and end up making a roster down the road but I am not holding my breath. Also unhappy Issac Fruechte got cut by the Vikings.
I guess we can take some solace that the four WR's drafted this year all made their teams and on the face of it all could contribute immediately. Not thrilled that three out of the four were dealing with injuries but at least the presence of young WR's keeps people like me engaged. And with super stud Edelman out for the year I would have hoped for a few more white WR's slipping in under the wire but the NFL is still a cold harsh reality wake up call.

Don't forget the purge continues today as another teams unwanted afflete will resurface on another team and at times be at the expense of a white athletes roster spot.

No reason some of these WRs should've been cut. They all were way more productive than these "experienced veterans". This is why I hate this time of year

Abbrederis and the reason as I understand it is Abbrederis has proper return skills. While it is nice that Jared who was so great at Wisconsin but tore his ACL in his rookie season with the Pack and Alex Erickson of the Bengals made their 53 man roster let us not fool ourselves into thinking they were kept because of their receiving skills, which by the way are at an NFL level. It was their value as return men that helped their cause. In other words what does a white WR have to do before he is considered a legitimate NFL WR these days?

It's rediculous man and so obvious that some teams are doing whatever they can to have no White receivers. If they do is just cause if there special team skills like you said. Pisses me off so bad.
