No surprises there. Not sure what’s going on with Westerman, but now he has a chance to go somewhere else if he really wants to continue playing and didn’t feel like he got a fair shake here.
The only Marvin player and fan favorite I see is Westerman. Bench players need to be able to play across the line and maybe Westerman is no good at tackle or center. I thought I heard Bengals announcers raving about Ringo, if so the coaches were not as impressed.
No major surprises here. I won't call anyone on list a name because coaches don't like firing days. It takes a jerk to enjoy saying, " You're Fired ". I don't even like reality TV shows all built on that. Most coaches say cut day is the worst part of the job. These people have lives, families, bills to pay. Sometimes coaches get it wrong. Paul Brown in Cleveland told a guy to forget football and find his other life's calling. He went on to win a Super Bowl and I think in Hall of Fame, Len Dawson. Of course Art Modell fired Paul Brown and that's the thing. Coaches get fired, so they do need to try to have players they think can help Win.
I bet they could have made these cuts after preseason game 3. The NFL is right to be talking dropping preseason game 4 since it is a waste of time and no fans show up or watch on TV. There would be NFL Football this Labor Day Weekend if not for preseason week 4.
