I wonder why? Is Roach doing well enough to make him expendable?

 

[gavinj]

He didn’t play much last year from what I can recall.

 

[rsmith2783]

Not surprised. We've seen them let good players go before. Maybe he came in too overweight?

 

[B_doggman47]

I hope he is still around to put on the practice squad, just in case someone gets injured. He's a real solid player.

I figured that one. Sheldon Rankins, David Onyemata, Malcom Brown, and Shy Tuttle should be locks. I think Mario Edwards and Margus Hunt have a good shot to make the team as well and they both can play DT and DE. I don’t think Malcolm Roach will make it unless he out plays those two, but he doesn’t offer the versatility of them either

how could he be at this point. my guess is they have seen what they need to see if Taylor and want to give him an opportunity to land somewhere.

I must have had him confused with Tuttle. I thought thinking that he showed a lot of promised, and the stiff arm on Matt Ryan was legendary. As another user posted, I hope that Stallworth is on the practice squad.

Odds are we keep 4 DT and there's probably 6 guys ahead of him

 

[abnrgr]

Yep just too many guys and Stallworth is strictly a NT

Just wondering, how often does Mario Edwards play DE for us? And is he good there?

 

[syracuse saint]

I like him. That's too bad. I predict he makes a roster and starts one day.

He did in short yardage and goal line he is a very good run defender. Last year he also played some at LDE when Cam Jordan needed a breather.

 

[meily]

Tuttle took his spot last year so its no surprise that he is being released.

 

[Goatman Saint]

Stallworth is a good space eater and run stuffer but very limited in what he can do beyond that. He will find a team to play on no doubt.
