Here's why I surmise certain players were cut:
Bobby Carpenter: Rams' were truly afraid to start 2 Whites at linebacker, because if they (The "team") sucked again, there would be mockery of their "too White" defense. Simply "Taboo".. Just look at the fact that they drafted 3 black DEs in this past draft (Eugene Sims, Hall Davis and someone else). Of course, last year's Rams' team WAS NOT "White" - and they've pretty much KILLED themselves by drafting SUMOS (Alex Barron, Jason Smith, Jimmy Kennedy, etc).
Justin Hartwig and
Matt Leinart: Neither would accept being demoted, so there are reports that their teams had planned to trade them, and if they couldn't, the player would simply be released.
Hartwig's profile:

I don't know if he weighs 312, but how can he be an "undersized" center, when there is NO evidence that Pouncey is bigger or stronger? He's simply blacker... Hartwig was also a 6th Rounder, so he was never going to get MSM praise like Nick Mangold who was a 1st Rounder.
If Hartwig didn't spend his money the way the affletes do, he will end up better off and with dignity in hand, for Pittsburgh will sink even further without him, totally "crushing" the idea that "Hartwig was the problem" - so much so - that a Center
needed to be drafted in the 1st Round..
Chase Coffman: Dumb move by Cinci, because what if their "Superman" - Gresham - suffers another knee injury? But this is another situation where a team was stabbing a White player in the back via the Draft. There is strong evidence that the "NFL" wants to hide some of our studs, even at positions like LB and TE, but someone should pick him up. A number of teams really could use a pass-catching TE. St. Louis, KC, Cleveland, Buffalo and NYG are some examples.
