Surprise cuts in 2011? | Page 16 | 49ers Webzone Forum

MODS - Feel free to merge this mimics any other threads... Who are the surprise cuts in 2011? In particular, I mean guy we expect to make the roster, although we may not want them to. Mine are... FB - Moran Norris -He has serious limits. While he provides a good blocking FB, he cannot pass catch and is consistently slow. Harbaugh's creative offense may lessen the need for a power-running fullback WR - Ted Ginn -Hunter seems to have good vision on kickoffs and they may cut Ginn to keep Ronald Johnson or one of the other UDFA or younger recievers CB - Tarell Brown -We would take a cap hit, but Harbaugh/Fangio may like the Culliver, Adams, and Brock combo over Brown's experience.

That would be a REAL dumb move, even though Brock and Brown played decent this preseason, Spencer is much better than both. We are deep at Safety and Goldson hasn't shown much in Preseason, Madieu has shown more.

They said Goldson had an injury/tweak. It's hard to say we should cut him after watching madiue williams utterly fail to fill on the Chargers rushing TD early on.

If Norris is our starting FB for this year we are in trouble. He has zero pass catching skills, which is super important in the WCO. People always want a rookie qb playing but we can't put in a rookie FB, even if its a new position to him? I'd be really suprised if Norris makes the team let alone starts. Total waste of a roster spot.

Cut Norris. Use Dixon and Miller as FBs. Dixon can play both HB/FB.

No way Spencer gets cut, he will starting again by week 2 or 3. If he is on top of it in practice this week he'll Starting WK`. Goldson will not get cut either, his 2m dollar contract is fully guaranteed. He would be a great backup if he looses his starting spot.

Norris is a dilemma. He is not the kind of pass receiver needed in the WCO but he is by far the best lead blocker. Miller isn't ready yet to do that job nor does Dixon appear to have that skill.
